Squad for Friday. : Wed Feb 25, 2009 1:53 pm  

IF Sam is fit it means less disruption, so it`s fingers crossed. Apart from Westwood, Carvell is also missing for Wire, for me he was their best player last Friday so that`s a bonus as well. I also hope Lowes leaves Riley at FB after last wek`s display.

I wouldn't be too optimistic about Obst, having broken down at least twice with his hamstring problem.

If Obst doesn't play, I think it would be of benefit to bring the experience and ball-handling skills of Scully back into the team and moving JD to 6.

: Wed Feb 25, 2009 2:53 pm  

With Obst I'd go

Matt Blaymire
Damien Blanch
Sean Gleason
Ryan Atkins
Dave Halley
Sam Obst
Tony Martin
James Stosic
Brad Drew
Danny Sculthorpe
Steve Snitch
Kevin Henderson
Jason Demitriou

Ricky Bibey
Oliver Wilkes
Dale Ferguson
Jay Pitts


Without obst

Matt Blaymire
Damien Blanch
Sean Gleason
Ryan Atkins
Dave Halley
Jason Demitriou
Tony Martin
James Stosic
Brad Drew
Danny Sculthorpe
Steve Snitch
Kevin Henderson
Dale Ferguson

Ricky Bibey
Oliver Wilkes
Jay Pitts
Luke George

All of course presuming Scully will play

Dont see how we can consider Sculthorpe in the starting 13 he will be nowhere near match fit

Suppose not, stick him on the bench then but we'll probably need his services! We could really do with a ball handling forward in the mix.

Whilst it's quite obvious we'll struggle in the half backs, what about the hooking role? Brad Drew has been sensational but he'll be asked to do another 80 minutes and after another 5 day turnaround!

Regardless of the outcome, lets just hope for no more injuries and a spirited performance

Thats the way i see it, anything else would come as a bonus.
