I wasn't having a go at Walker I thought he was quite sericeable aginst the Same Olds after being throwen in the deep end against Richo.Unless Presti has made a remarkable recovery I would expect him to play against The Powerless.I think we might be going to go with the Rocca and Rogan rotation through the ruck. With young Walker helping out around the ground. |

Well if Presti is fit to play, thats awesome, a huge advantage for us I never thought he'd be fit for this week. _________________ Those with the most invested are the last to surrender!

I doubt Presti will play. They waited for weeks for him to get his ankle right so why risk his lungs ?? Personally i would bring in McKee as he can play across half back or be used in ruck.

Unless McKee is playing loose in defense im not really sure how valueable he is in our side at the moment... I know a lot of people dont think rucks are valueable.. However against the eagles you did not have to be a genius to see the impact of Gardiner, whom I might add was given a contest by Josh and still very influencial. We need to develop a ruck who is flexible as a forward and tap ruckman.. Josh is capable and needs to now be given the opportunity to move to the next level...
He is equally as good at ground level and more agile in general.. I say its time he gets a good run in the ruck, rotating with Pebs..
Presti in is a good thing... Only concern is his fitness due to lack of match time over past 2 months... He is not slow by the way.. His closing speed is very good. |

yeah I was thinking Presti would have to be decent speed off the mark to be a good backman - he even does OK on Lloyd from memory.
2 weeks is not long at all for a punctured lung - cybernetic lungs might explain it otherwise they must have great patches these days. I'd have my doubts he plays and so either Walker or McKee will probly play - I suspect Mckee would be a better defender at present and has great presence down back and would have much better conditioning. sounds like Walker is very promising however for the near future. |

Did Presti really have a punctured lung ? If he did and plays tonight, he is a superman (maybe he has been speaking to Dermie) _________________ 'young and free' |
