Who misses out?

[Thirteen]

With the luxury of depth and the finals approaching, Robbo has to make some difficult decisions soon.

Jarred, SST, Cords, Angus and Liu are the Most likely starting pack. SBW and Collins are certainties for the bench. Does Robbo go with 4 forwards on the bench or three plus a utility?

I think Robbo will need to decide between Sitili, Butcher, Aubo and Freddy for the remaining bench positions.

Tough to leave out Aubo in his final year and his ability to play in the backs and his experience as a dummy half is huge. Sitili has played all season and had that x-factor. Butch can play middle or edge.

One or two players are going to be very disappointed.

Who would you leave out?

[Roosterfarian]

Sitili and Butch.

unfortunate for Aubbo but thems the breaks.

[Insider]

Aubbo will b there if available no doubt about it,and i think Butcher will edge out Sitili just based on his workrate. Sitili will get his GF next year.

[Rooster1908]

Not sure who misses out but certain its not Aubbo if fit . good position to be in but bloody shame for those who miss out because of SBW . Not saying that's a bad thing but a dam shame

[ChookMaster]

where does aubbo play if we have a bench of

14. Aubbo
15.Collins
16.Butcher
17.SBW??

Cords will not come off for aubbo unless required and SBW will interchange with Liu with angus moving in the middle i'd expect? Aubbo there purely for the versatility perhaps?

Versatility and reward for service .Won't be made to look like that but he will be there somewhere

I can’t see Sitili going from starting to missing out On the 17. For me it’s Butcher, great work rate but for me does not offer much in attack.

[The Skeez]

The SBW effect. Five into four

I think Aubusson and Butcher. Aubusson for his versatility (tellingly he covered 9 recently) Butcher for his defence and ability to play middle and edge and he was there last year.

Unfortunately Sitili is too raw and finals experience counts but he has been starting.

Then again, are Sonny and Collins definites?

[The Skeez]

One thing I would back is Trent having the appropriate conversation with the unlucky player.

Defensively better than Sitili but yes not much attack. Doesn’t bend the line too much.

We didn’t bring Sonny in not to play. Any why wouldn’t you play him. Great attack and ball skills, great defence, x-factor, experience and working towards good match fitness. Collins is the only genuine prop and that’s needed on the Bench.

You can bet your balls they have 2 bench spots.

[Stewie Griffin]

SBW and Collins are lock-ins.

Would be a tough call to drop a guys who’s done the job for you all year.

SBW and Collins are lock-ins.

So it’s between Aubo, Butcher and Sitili.
Hard to leave out Aubo cause of his versatility.

[Mickie Lane]

Aubbo will be in the 17 for sure IMO. Him & Jake are Robbos favourites.

Starting JWH, Friend, SST, Cords, Crighton, Liu

Bench Aubbo Collins Butch SBW

I still believe Robbo will go with his most experienced. Sitili, Lussick & Farmersilli will miss out. It would of been interesting if Rads & SV were fit.
