Quote SmokeyTA="SmokeyTA"I would drop Diskin, this isnt a slight on him, we just need to play with what we have against whats in front of us
Wire are a big side, we will need to front up to stay in the game and without our pack leader we will need the numbers
with Sinfield able to play 7 and Burrow able to play 9, Clarkson and Ablett can fill in at 13 if you want to give Buderus a rest.
Wire will throw a lot of offloads and i dont think we will look strong with Bailey/Kylie/Eastwood having to try and make 2nd efforts on the likes of Harrison, Westwood and Anderson and Monaghan and Clarke running round the ruck towards the end of a 30 minute stint.
We need to win it upfront against wire, stop the offload and control the ruck and i think our back line will win it for us'"
When you say "back line" you of course mean McGuire
...He more than any other (maybe Senior) is going to be our main strike weapon in the backs especially as it looks as though Donald might be just a 'reserve' now until the end of the season.
I do agree with you that Diskin has to make way for a big bench of Eastwood, Ali, Ablett and Kirke. Not sure that will happen though.
