IN: Roo, Armo( I think out of courtesy to Roo, they've tried to make out his recovery has been remarkable, just to deflect attention from the initial enormity of the reaction to a possible career ending injury when they knew pretty early it was probably only a one week injury - bone bruising pain responds very well to local anaesthetic)
Out: Steven (inj), Savage (omit)
Team next week?

Pendlebury is an excellent user of the ball, as we all know - he wins more possessions per game, of course - but he's a midfielder.
I am hapy for people to dfend Gilbo but then they go and do something absurd like compare him to a a gun player. Absurd. Here is the comparison

seeing as how he "tucks it under his arm and takes them on"
Not sure why he doesn't poll votes in every single game.

The guy's one of our top five players season after season and the coach obviously loves him (he keeps playing him).
Find another whipping boy.
I love the guy.

Re: Team next week?
You're right, having the same disposal effecieny means nothing. It's not like these players play completely different roles compared to gilbert. I mean how good a defender would Pendlebury be?
