Haha. I saw he was 18th man at the weekend. I like his commitment but he's behind a few now surely. If we wanted to rest Donaldson and Lawrence for instance I'd be looking at the likes of Waine, Peposhi and Mason first.

And Bailey Liu.

Think we might see a couple of changes, don’t think he will risk Keyes, maybe rest Lawerence. Agree we need Ott on the bench after Souters superhuman effort.
Maybe Waine or Liu to come in on the bench, and give Armitage a run out.

We do have good quality options, which is unheard of for us in recent times. I think Nobby will be using the squad. Ott is an obvious swap. Armitage if fit, would like to see him play. We know what Hallas is about, but Waine is possibly ahead of him.

We definitely do not need to be playing Keyes to death - we know he is susceptible to injury and we have a few options - I'm sure Nobby will be looking to rotate where possible.

I'd expect Donaldson, Lawrence, Keyes and Gill to be rested with Waine, Mason, Ott and Armitage to come in to replace them.
