Herdman is a big call over McCowatt who has scored goals and never really put in a bad shift for the AW's. Also factor in Thomas and Singh who are more important to get on the park in a similar position.
Fantastic goal though today by Herdman. Next step after WC for him is Olympics next year. I'd say.

Yeh- of the forwards I’m only really convinced by Just. McGarry really is a wide forward too. I could easily lose one of them for Roux.
So Smith is done? I feel like we’re missing another CB. I’d be tempted to bring in someone like Brotherton or Zweetslot or Stanger…someone we haven’t looked at recently…we’ve got a Reid-size hole there.
The real problem is Tuiloma/Payne/Surman/Pijnaker don’t really offer one stand out player who demands selection. Maybe if Surman gets picked up or has a break out season or if Pijnaker does likewise…or Tuiloma takes on a bit of gravitas for the AWs.
I’d take McCowatt ahead of Mata. Just on a hunch really, though we probably will take both.
Again with the forwards there are a lot of similar players but no stand outs. No getting in the lad from Tulsa? Gotta be just as strong a competition.
A lot of players with some opportunities to convince and impress. Not much size or dominant physical strength in the team.
If Singh or Thomas starts perhaps Garbett can be pushed further forward…
Hmmm…new coach please. This collection of players really is a bit of a puzzle. Needs the person looking for the solution for this round on the job asap.
