I'm in between Brisbane and Gold Coast and just starting to have light rain now. Forecast for GC on Sunday is 8-15mm mainly morning and early afternoon with some sunny breaks so hopeful by 6pm it will be OK. In any case better playing in rain than a heavy dew.

and 80% humidity according to one forecaster

Was thinking TMac could be some insurance if Weid or LJ can't back up last weeks form, but if it's going to be wet not so sure. A lot of thought needs to go into selection.

If it's going to be wet I suspect Jackson will not play. I just feel his lighter frame will not be conducive to him having much impact on a wet day. I'd rather players with lower centres of gravity, such as Tom McDonald, who are more likely to stay on their feet. 

With AvB out and the game on Sunday we will be naming a squad with the extended IC.

My squad:

B: Jetta, OMac, Lever

HB: Salem, May, Hibberd

? Langdon, Oliver, Harmes

HF: Brayshaw, Jackson, Fritsch

F: Pickett, Wiedeman, Bennell

FOL: Gawn, Viney, Petracca

IC: Melksham, Hannan, Lockhart, Jones, TMac, Tomlinson, Rivers, ANB/Hunt

First 4 named on IC are the ones I would go with at this stage

Reading between the lines of Goodies presser The Weid and Jacko will be in. Discussing whether 3 talls can be played. Asked whether T Mc can play wing he said it will be discussed. So maybe not wing.

I think we should go Tomlinson if it is to play the wing role.

This is too important a game to be experimenting in the hope it works.

Is it wrong to say that if it's really wet it might be appropriate to have Rivers floating back?
