Here is what the team should look like for Round 2 against Souths:

1. Slater (if he gets off his charge from Round 1 - most likely though)
2. Duffie
3. Chambers (needs to come in this week and replace Danger)
4. O'Neill
5. Quinn
6. Widdop (had a shocker against the Raiders but hopefully he lifts for this game)
7. Cronk
8. Bromwich
9. Smith (C)
10. Norrie (Ryles is most likely back in Round 3 from injury, so I think Norrie should go to the bench after Round 2)
11. Manu
12. Proctor (put Hoffy on the bench)
13. Hinchcliffe (even though Lowrie surprised me with his effort against the Raiders, there is just no room for him in the side anymore and Hinchy should replace him)

14. Kostjasyn (needs more game time)
15. Hoffman
16. Vave
17. Greenfield

IMO no player should be dropped if they do their job well and does what is asked/required of them which Lowrie did last night. While he's not my favorite player there's no way he won't be there next week and he deserves to be on last nights effort i reckon. That said i'd be happy for Hinchy to start in the 13 and go from there.

2.Duffie
3. Chambers
4. Oneil

6. Widdop
7.cronk
8.Bromwich
9.smith
10. Norrie
11. Manu
12.Proctor

I don't see too many changes from Round 1 to be honest.

I can definately see Ryles coming onto the bench if fit and possibly Jaiman Lowe.

I'd love to see Chambers get a start, but I think Bellamy will give the likes of Duffie a couple of chances. Unfortunately, as much as I am peeved to see Danger Neilsen continually stuff up our attacking raids with predictable moves - I dont think Bellamy will drop him anytime soon. He has no step, no fend, no offload. He's suited if anywhere to our wing and let someone like Chambers and/or Blair take the more pivotal Centre spot. I've always been a fan of Danger, but he's failing to grow and develop over the last season.

The team I'd like to see, but wont is:

1. Slater
2. Neilsen
3. Chambers
4. O'Neil
5. Quin
6. Widdop
7. Cronk
8. Bromwich
9. Smith
10. Norrie
11. Manu
12. Proctor
13. Lowrie

14. Ryles (J Lowe if Ryles not fit)
15. Hinchcliffe
16. Vave
17. Hoffman

18. J Lowe

In the paper today it had an article about the storm ( size matters alot for storm)
I can't copy it, but it was saying ' coach craig bellamy was hoping to add bulk up front ' and ' bellamy noted adjustments were needed ' and ' there are certainly issues ' soo I'm guessing that means there may be a few changes up front .. And an extra fowrad coming on the bench this week may be the case. greenfield I'm guessing will be coming onto the bench with vave .. ? when's garbbo back from injury .. I think he would be a good inclusion on the bench. Big powerful strong forward exacly what bellamy wants by what his saying .. ?

Don't think Ryles will play this week so hopefulkly Greenfield is fit and ready to go so we can add him straight back onto the bench. Would love to see Harris or Garbutt get a go but not likely this early on. Fingers are crossed that we see Chambers or Blair in the side tomorrow.
