R1 Team V BRISBANE

[enzedder]

This is what I'd go with...

B- Geary, Brown, Coffield
HB - Roberton, Carlisle, Savage
C - Sinclair, Armitage, Dunstan
HF - Acres, Bruce, Billings
FF - Membrey, McCartin, Gresham
Foll- Longer, Ross, Steven
Int- Clark, Steele, Newnes, Stevens

Emerg - Webster, Weller, Lonie

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Gilbert is named for the roles he can play when he doesn't fumble, panic or have clangers.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Webster in the team either but I'd like to see the young fellas be given a run. Both Coffield and Clark showed plenty and look more than ready. Stevens is my last picked.
Think Longer should still be given the nod over Hickey but will be interesting to see who gets the gig.

I/C - Steele, Clark, Long, Stevens

Emg-  Gilbert, Coffield, Marshall, Weller

Differences from my 22
Coffield / Webster.... no surprise Webster is in. Coffield looks good enough but we have competition for spots across HB.
Dunstan / Long .... that is a surprise on both counts. Richo said that with Armitage, Steele and Stevens, Dunstan is unlucky. Competition for spots there too. Long has been picked for team balance. He better perform because he's the first out.
