theres some very intresting decisions what agar has to make this week. does tansey come back in or other fringe players come in. will longy make it, does turner deserve to stay at 6? well this would be my team this presuming longy dosent play which is highly unlikely.

id like to see turner or moa but cusack will be in there still a good team and should have to much for cas but will be hard

Hold on, it's only just Tuesday!

Same 13 that started against Quins, Tansey on the bench in place of Houghton.

What he said..

Hard decsion for Agar as nobody deserves to be dropped.

However I think Tansey is our best attacking weapon so has to be in the 17.

If any of the backs are carrying a slight knock I would rest them, same with the forwards as we have Moa and Burnett ready to play.

Good postion to be in, long may it last.

in the olden days(2007/0icon_cool.gif, fridays squad would have been released today

yeah i would go with that, Houghtons not doing it, on the field for me at the minute!

Houghton has been playing fine imo, it's just that we look better with Berro on the field and I think he needs to play 80. You could argue however that being rested is allowing Berro to be at the top of his game.

yeah, you could be right, still drop him for friday, and see Berro on the pitch for 80 mins, think we lose a lot of direction when Berro goes of

Same for me.

If we have Tansey on the bench, then he could do a short spell at 9 if needed.
I like Houghton, but I think a bench spot needs to be more versatile.

ive noticed in every game this season that when berrigan and omeeley are of the pitch we lose that control and dominance in the middle of the park. id like to see berro play the 80 but if he going to struggle in parts of the game then theres no point in over playing him id rather see him at his best with houghton complementing him but im sure berro has played many games playing the full 80. is the squad listed today?

We have had very noticable flat spells when both Berrigan and O'Meley are off the field. Playing Berrigan for longer spells might not be the answer so not sure what we could do about him but replacing O'Meley with Moa would be a good idea IMHO.

exactly right im not sure overplaying berro is the answer but hopefully when he is fully fit then he might be able to. and certainley we need moa in the team to add some impact that we lose when omeeley goes of to keep the momentum going. hopefully the weather will stay like this and the grounds will be alot harder then agar can play him hahahaha

houghton to play, agar seems to want to go with 2 hookers this year, only injury will change this

minimal changes this week, tansey to the halves, turner the unlucky one as he was effectively tanseys replacement last week
