i take it penny didnt impress mr smith then?? and why name briers when hes obviously not going to play

No Rauhihi either.



Riley back in so that explains Penny's absence.



Briers might play, you never know.

Who are you? The physio he is having regular sessions with in an attempt to be passed fit to play?

Smith is playing silly buggers.



Im all for misleading the opposition but this is now insulting our intelligence.

Is Rau injured?

Why? If Briers is not going to play, then Smith will play Bridge and Monaghan. No need to let Bulls know by naming, say, O'Brien in the squad.

Its common knowledge that he wont play. The reasons why are varied.

regular sessions in the pub??

No, it's not. I don't know it. The people I go to the matches with don't know it.

You can do it once or maybe even twice but for a third time doesn't fool anyone.

Thats what i think Smith will go with. Although after Monas' poor display against Cas he did get brought off for the last 5 minutes so he could move him to 9. Depends on whether Briers actually plays though.



I'm actually abit gutted about Penny missing out, thought he did enough on Monday to at least be involved in the squad.

Bridge at stand-off i'd say
