Best 23 in 2025

I'd be looking at Quaynor.

Which key forward was it late last year that Quaynor did a job on as an undersized shut down defender? It might have even been Cameron. Whoever it was, Quaynor got the chocolates, and it's probably something to try again every now and then when there is a super mobile key forward on the opposition. We know we can't trust Moore to stick, so Quaynor isn't a bad option.

IQ did play on Cameron but Cameron was hampered and was not his normal mobile self.

That is not to say that IQ couldn't be a good option.

Why are we resting Pendles and WHE in round 1 again?

Why are we resting Pendles and WHE in round 1 again?

Need a rest after a gruelling 7 months of non contact training and Holidaying in Europe

Pendles Mitchell and WHE rested

yeah, I'd be pretty surprised if we rested Pendles in round 0...

We need to be 4-3 after our first 7 in my view - we will play full strength until then at least before we start thinking about strategically resting any of the oldies. The only time i am resting Pendles is if a) we are playing WCE in perth, North, or if he is feeling a little sore for any reason.

As we have seen over many years the pace of the game in early March is extreme. A young man’s game for a few rounds until normality sets in
Maybe sub vest for Pendles. Not sure he touched it in opening round first half last year
