Bet me to it. Logically Roux should be next cab off the rank. Experienced, and was playing well at the Mariners when they won their consecutive titles.

But his form seems to flucuate. How well is he playing for CCM this season?
I watched him in a pre season match verus McGarry & the Roar, and Storm R was poor.

Both Tuiloma & Elliot are barely playing for their clubs at the moment.

Personally I'd go with a makeshift combination of Bindon starting for 60 mins, and then Tuiloma as the finisher for 30 mins. That's if both Boxy & Surman are fit as the CBs.

Again we know RB is not Bindon's best role, but he's a quality footballer, and he ain't playing ahead of the two MLS CBs at the moment unless one of them is injured or rested. 

I don't rate Elliot much. Out muscled too easily. Tuiloma has the advantage of lots of years playing with & against tricky Latino players in the MLS. Handy up against Colombia & Ecuador.


Very left field selection idea is Piper. But really his crossing is too poor to be a top level full back. But I can see him being better with the defensive responsibilities than say Elliot.
