should be ok for the semi to help knock the whinos out,fingers crossed.

I'd leave Goulding in the centres. He's playing well and that's his position. Bring Thornley into the team slowly as a winger. I'm surprised he's not been given a shot over Gelling yet.

Some coaches like to bring outside backs who have played fb/centre at junior level in to the 1st team on the wing, it happens in the NRL quite a bit, and we are seeing it with Gelling. It makes sense, especially alongside an experienced centre. A winger can get jittery when they have an inexperienced centre alongside them (see Joel/Josh last year). They obviously still have to be able to cope under a high ball for example but it means they can concentrate on their own game rather than worrying what's going on outside them.

And in other news, bears do indeed defecate in the woods.......

So bring sam at full back and Smurph on the wing
