I'm assuming Pete is talking from a position of knowledge here not guess work.If that's the case then it's a surprise to see Meli out, but one way of looking at that team is that it's a very defensive line up. Dixon has impressed me going forwards but I'll be honest not taken much notice of his defence compared to flannery. Flannery's howls were with ball in hand so I guess, maybe I've only seen half a game.
With Wellens starting at FB, I'm guessing that's defensive cover with Lance to bring spark in attack.
wheeler at centre for defensive cover to stop Meli letting them through. To be honest it may not be my ideal line up, but with Wheeler over Meli, it's what we have been calling for so it's put up or shut up for Wheeler tonight, if he gets the nod, then he has to show he's worth the loss of meli's strike close to the line.
It's probably our most creative attacking side, with 4 half backs who can all play tonight. So lets hope we are all right and Wheeler is the new great white hope at centre we all hope he is.
No pressure lad....
