  The question is - will BA start with the same formation as last week?

  I was always confident about this game but now as we get closer - not so much. We aren't good at farewells.
  Let's hope we don't send off Benji and Lawrence as winners like we did with Mary. We could've used those two dropped dragon game points right about now.

    We have never been good at farewelling our own players, but we have ruined the party plenty of times when the opposition have.

  More worried about CUMMINS than Benji.  Quality of the refs is average across the board. I think the season has taken a toll on them as well.

    We have a slightly better win percentage with Cummins in charge than the Tigers do.

    45.45% v 41.46%

    We need David Munro to ref this game. We have a 75% win ratio with him in charge.

  I wonder if BA considers playing Mahoney for the full 80 and use Smith to replace field. Its well noted that Field is a fullback and a ball runner, so he really struggles playmaking and in structured plays. So alternately, Smith would help with that problem. The one thing I will say however is that Field's defence has rapidly improved and is probably better than Smiths (Smith won't have fowards helping him that much like he did when playing hooker).

  Rumour is that Dunster may get a late call up.

  I hope BA goes with last week's starting team. Worked well I thought.

    With G Jennings back from loan, he will be immediately called upon if Fergo or Sivo get injured or need a rest. So I don't see the point in debuting Dunster in such a crucial game and at the end of the season. If BA wanted to give Dunster a chance he had plenty off opportunities for the past 8 weeks.
