Walsh may play but WO how many games have you seen this guy play? Ace in the pack. What rubbish. He is hardly tearing it up at Sandy. Been solid but not an ace. Just about every week you want changes. Sometimes even a few after good wins. Well the guys you want in arent as good as the guys currently in and that is a fact. Our depth is currently non existent due to many injuries and because we also have a young seconds list. Even last week you wanted a few changes because that shows guts or some silly thing. As for how much sides beat one another, what does that mean or matter. If that was how it worked we would all get 8 winners each week. We play differently to the pies. We arent going to win by huge margins usually and the other thing is we have no idea what training faze either side is in.WinnersOnly wrote:LYON has to be bold and change things up if he wants to threaten the Pies this week. We need to find and ace to bring us closer to the top 4 teams aand IMO Tommy WALSH is just that!
The Pies like to play taller players on Milne and Schneider knowing they are not going to threaten them with their marking. They physically out mucsle both players and shut down our main scoring avenues.
IMO I think we need to keep there third tall backman busy and bring in another tall to play forward. It's time to play Walsh in replacement of Gamble. I know it is a huge ask for his first game but the guy is an older recruit and has played major roles for his country, so this shouldn't be any more imtimidating.
I really think he is the player who can go to another level if given the opportunity for the Saints. If he doesn't work up forward he can release Fisher or Gilbert forward. The other beneift is he can hold the main full forward post and ROO can play further up the ground or have Tommy lead his player away from ROO so they cant triple team him all game.
No point in playing it safe Ross - it's time role the dice and give the big fella a go and make there defence accountable! Get the team excited by his introduction and pump the big fella up and see if he cant intimidate some of the back line and get them looking around?
For the sake of 2011 please take a risk ROSS and back the big fella in!!!!
If Walsh plays he isnt going to be the ace. He may be about 7 of hearts.
