Much much better performance than Friday. The red card of course changes everything, and so if the AWs go onto win it then becomes hard to take too much out of the result.

Still based on this 45 mins re WC connotations - Paulsen is no 1, Payne has played well and has probably settled RB discussions, plus if Wood is out it maybe Barba who starts ahead of Waine. 

Also what a difference Bell has made. It might be Thomas on the pine at the WC, but he'll get good mins regardless.
I think Thomas starts at the world cup, take this line up and drop Randall, McCowatt and Kosta, Bring in Thomas, Cacace and Wood. Just shifts to RW, Old to LW, Stam to 10. 

Then the only problem is which 2 of our 3 CB start...
