The bench

[DSM5]

Does anybody have an opinion of the bench for Saturday? The most important game of the year and who'se on the bench will determine the outcome imo. King and Jack to start. Beaver, Cuthbo, Bryant and then who?

Not bloody Burns, that's for sure!

I don't think Halfasanga should be in the side either. He's been more than useless recently.

I guess there's my two to drop off. Bryant to start, Ballin on the bench with Beaver, Cuthbo and Mauro.

Agree with no Burns, I don't think Des will go with Mauro in a semi final.

Does anyone think it possible that Kennedy would make a surprise appearance off the bench ?

I think we fans would like to see it. But that sort of thing can derail a campaign - it leads to resentment amongst the players who have been there all year and miss out and factions develop.

I'm speaking from the experience of exactly this happening in teams I played for. I wasn't the player to miss out, but the whole team gets pissed off one way or the other.
