Most likely Thompson.

Regardless of who it is, there won’t be an increase in ball playing / passing just because they’re playing at loose. They will just be utilised as an extra prop.

I was hoping they'd rest Thompson.
Perhaps Mago will go to 13 but I'd prefer Dupree.

We might leave leeming and forber on together at some point.this would make extra ball players in the middle

Yes, I'm looking forward to it. Both sides depleted, but some interesting options.

I don’t see the need or value in doing this.

7, 6, and 1 are plenty enough ball players.

We also might want to rack up some serious points
