Bedford's out of the starting 22.

Dunstan can still yet replace Bedford as the designated sub.

 

Unless Bedford is injured (or he replaces an injured player in the 22), I reckon there is zero chance he won't be the medi sub.

It's not how goody operates.

Dunstan made the trip.  Sighted boarding bus. Possible medi-sub.

So did Melksham.

They take at least 2 emergencies on interstate trips. Might have even taken all 4 given Covid could throw us into disarray at the last minute.

Handy out I guess.

We need to focus on beating whomever they send out against us - celebrating outs is often counterproductive

I thought Hunt was very solid. Nullified Weightman and mopped up well, especially in the first half. Did his job.

The GC team is full of young blokes who are mobile. Skills fail them often, they run so much. Hunt is needed to catch them up forward to then rebound the ball for our opportunities. Bowey should handle Salem's role quite well and should be a great 'assist' in the close backline clearances. Hunt, Bowey and Smith - equally mobile and really good interceptors/defenders against this mob, I'd reckon. Dees by 50 points.

This is a bit harsh on Hunt.

He got involved, spoiling, picking up possessions, tackling, two way running. He did enough to retain his spot. 

Fully agree Hunt went ok last week.

Get off Hunties back.

I suspect M Brown doesn't make the emergencies because of the Weid...who is primarily there as an emergency should one of Gawn or Jackson not be available on game day. But if a tall forward has to be replaced, I assume Weid has that covered, too.

I'm more interested in who comes in should we need to replace a defender before the game. After all, there has been some suggestion that Smith may have a hand injury. Would Bedford come in but someone else (Brayshaw? Harmes?) play in the backline with Bedford taking on their role? 

Brayshaw will play back for sure and Bedford in.

Looking like it's going to be a wet evening in Carrara. Wouldn't be surprised if pull a late change and being Bedford back in for a tall.

So happy to have young man Rivers back.

Also thought Jordan played well last week.
