Its not Bellamy's style to change his team make-up. Especially not after a win, and especially not on the team he announces on a Tuesday.

He may put some players on notice that this week they need to improve. Duffie, Neilsen and Hoffman will be three I reckon that need to lift their game. Widdop had a poor game, but he's certainly not a repeat offender. Hoffy I think needs to prove he's capable of holding out Proctor from the starting side. I dont think on Saturday's game he is. Round 2 will be interesting to see how he goes.

Ryles will almost certainly come back you'd think if he was fit.

Bellamy almost always changes his team after the 'official' team announcement on Tuesday. He pretty much names the last weeks team and then changes on game day.

Let's see how many times the team runs out as named.

good to see garbutt back on the bench. With a few games I think he'll be starting you'd think.. Hope he plays good and impresses bellamy so he can get a spot on the bench in our top squad! I really like the sound of this bloke.

as good as oniell was last week, i think we need blair in that spot this week! last year he was all over inglis, and we will need that again this year.

i might be wrong but the best way to make inglis have a quiet game is to run your attack at him and make him look bad, to me he is a confidence player. with sika, oniell/blair and duffie on the right side i think the attack looked promising last week.

50/50 on what your saying storming.

I think Oneil and blair should both be the centres, I don't see why bellamy keeps picking Neilson over him. yeah his a good defender but he offers not much at all in attack, blair offers alot more. His quicker stronger, gains more metres of his runs his all round a better player I think. My opinion anyway.. Maybe this week if Neilson doesn't prove he should be in that spot bellamy might put blair their. I can only hope.

Latest news that Greenfield will again not take to the field and Rory Kostjasyn is set to be name on the bench.

Still no sign of Jaiman Lowe, Will Chambers or Maurice Blair. Can't help but feel we'd be much stronger with all three playing week in and week out.
