Must be, they are not under-performers.

Platt
Sheriffe
Menzies
Nero
Halley
Sykes
Jeffries
Lynch
Newton
Scruton
Cook
Langley
Burgess

Godwin
Crossley
Whitehead
Donaldson

That's how i'd go. Macca will go like this :

Platt
Sheriffe
Sykes
Nero
Halley
Jeffries
Deacon
Lynch
Newton
Scruton
Burgess
menzies
Langley

Godwin
Crossley
Cook
Worrincy

I can't see him dropping Worrincy (Not done alot wrong), Langley (under-performed all season), Deacon (just won't) or Sykes

Why would you drop Worrincey?

To give Whitehead/ Donaldson a chance.

How about Platt on the wing, and keep Halley at Full Back? Why should our consistently best player be the one to have to move positions?

Good to see Crossley in the squad. He got the wraps on the Bulls website for leading the Reserve Grade to victory at HKR. Give him a real shot i.e more than four minutes....

Isn't this around the time of year when union-bound three-quarters traditionally depart?

I would expect Cook and one of Donaldson/Whitehead to miss out looking at that squad. Not what I would choose, just what I expect.

Good plan, lets drop one of the better performers.

With a view to next year, I think we should be giving Crossley, Donaldson and Whitehead decent game time for the remainder of the year. I'm fairly sure we won't be seeing Cook next year, so I'd be fairly certain of him missing out. I'd also like to see Deacon dropped.

Halley
Sheriffe
Menzies
Nero
Platt
Sykes
Jeffries
Lynch
Newton
Scruton
Langley
Whitehead
Burgess

Godwin
Crossley
Donaldson
Worrincy

I'd start one of Donaldson/Whitehead and put one on the bench, and interchange the two. But of course we all know Deacon will play!

Tbf Cook looked better last week and when we need to win every game to have a chance at the play-offs we need to pick on form each and every week.
