Sunday evening game here.

I will be making my return to skilled park for this game....YAY

Going to be a tough sell after coming off that loss. The good news is we have a 9 day turn around to heal up a few of the niggles.

Nightmare in the halves department (heard that one before). Is it worth the risk bringing back Sezer if he isn't 100%?

What do we look like in the worst case scenario of no Bird (on report), Ridge (pec), Takairangi (hammy), Srama (ac), Sezer (hammy) or Kelly (medial)?

1. Zilman
2. Gordon
3. Michaels
4. Idris
5. Mead
6. Henry
7. Rankin
8. Bailey
9. Falloon
10. Douglas
11. Taylor
12. Myles
13. Harrison

14. James
15. Ioane
16. Minichiello
17. O'Dwyer

I think Bailey has to start. He's a machine not an impact player.

1.Mead
2.Gordon
3.Zillman
4.Idris
5.Don
6.Henry
7.Srama
8.Bailey
9.Falloon
10.Douglas
11.Bird
12.Myles
13.Harro

14.James
15.Taylor
16.Odwyer
17.Minichello

1.Russell
2.Gordon
3.Hunt
4.Idris
5.Mead
6.Rankin / Barba
7.Henry
8.Bailey
9.Falloon
10.Douglas
11.Bird / O'Dwyer (is Bird injured too?)
12.Myles
13.Harro

14.James
15.Taylor
16.Odwyer / Zillman
17.Minichello

Perfect game to blood new players.

Bird's on report. My guess he'd be looking at a week..

I definitely don't think it's worth bringing Sezer in if he's not absolutely 100% right. I still remember when we rushed Prince back, he got injured like 10 minutes into the game and we lost him for the season.

1.Mead
2.Gordon
3.Zillman
4.Idris
5.Don/Michaels
6.Rankin
7.Henry
8.Bailey
9.Falloon
10.Douglas
11.Bird
12.Myles
13.Harrison

14.James
15.Taylor
16.Odwyer
17.Minichello

But we all know Mead to FB will never happen.

yeah anyone with a hammy problem Should be left to completely heal.

This site says he's looking at 2-3 weeks on the sideline. It also says the injury was a result of Dave Taylor landing on him, not Idris. However, I choose to believe.

My thoughts exactly. We need to bench Zillman (utility) and bleed Russel ASAP or its gonna be another 2012... Russel is a legit fullback and looked pretty solid in the trials. Pretty sure Cartwrong will waste this oportunity

Russell is a solid fb but he doesn't have the X factor mead does.

In saying this fb position is the least of the teams problems atm.

Unfortunately Russell's form in NYC does not warrant spot.
