The Raiders selections make it pretty clear they are not banking on finishing 4th.
I'd like to see Smith play for Gutho. He could do with a rest after a career best season. Dunster to replace Smith on the bench as a roving utility.
Alvaro in for Jnr. He has had a career best season too.
Gennings in for Fergo. Give the old statesmen a re-fresher.
Taka to replace Evans on the bench and give RCG a rest. Pump up his tyres for Panthers game.
Idiot.
The idea is to give our best players a rest to freshen them up following the raiders resting their players.
I know Duster is an outside back and have seen him play. He can fill the 14 jersey the same as other coaches have done so with players like Papenhyzen, Xavier Coates, Curtis Scott...its just for 1 week to give Guth a freshener for the finals charge.
Jnr has had the career best season, not Alvaro. Give him a rest.
Same goes for putting Taka on bench and elevating Evans to starting side...its merely to give RCG a break.
Don't enquire about wisdom. Find some.
