If not Dugan, who plays at 1 against the Chooks?

If Dugan somehow pulls through this week and is fit, do we keep him at 1?

If not, who do we play there?

Morris, in comes Gray.
Could we have Morris play fullback and left centre?

I’m not opposed to giving Gray another chance, but I’m nervous about a left edge of Capewell, Gray and Feki, especially in attack.

It just means that the opposition will know that we have 80% chance of going right...

That’s if Duges is out...

If he’s in, we could try:

1. Morris
2. Feki
3. Xerri
4. Dugan
5. Katoa

More likely, though, that the coach will stick with Duges at 1...

Not sure about Morris at fullback to be honest.
Has he ever played there?

Morris has played fullback started there on 18 times, but if you seen last night he was jumping to catch bombs when no need, put Kennedy to fullback leave Morris at centre, i would prefer Gray be given chance over feki.

If Duges out

1. Kennedy
2. Gray
3.Xerri
4.Morris
5.Katoa

If Feki plays you can beat they will attack Feki, Parra cam towards him all night seen him as weak link, and that considering on otherside of field we have Katoa/Xerri/Nikora defending together not even 20 games of first grade

If first and second choice is out, gotta roll the dice with Kennedy. Tough team to debut against but I'd rather not move Morris from centres.

So from the discussion so far this could be our backline Saturday night:

Kennedy
Xerri
Morris
Dugan
Katoa

With hopefully Johnson and Chad 6 & 7.

I would leave Mozz and Duges in the centres (their best positions). their defensive reads are top shelf and we will need all the help we can get against Manu and Mitchell. Duges might not be a fullback anymore but is still a gun, people calling for him to play wing or be sold off are off their heads. I dont blame the merkin for getting up hurt after every tackle, he runs flat knacker into every collision in attack and defence, he might get up in pain, but he still gets up and ploughs into the opposition the next time the ball comes his way.

Tell that to the 'experts' Blocker and Bwaiff. I think Gooooooorden merkinstain may have been blaming the injuries on his tattoos and his hair on the radio. How these blokes are paid for their 'thoughts' is beyond me.

It’s stupid how fox have up to 5 people commentating.

Surely 2 in the box @ 1 on the sideline is enough.

Bluefox68, that is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. Leave the centres as they are, and give CB4's fave - Kennedy - a go!
