ok so if/when we qualify, we can bring in 3 overage players right? Looking at the above line up figure we need a striker (Wood) and a central defender (Reid)

I guess the final spot is a toss up between Thomas, Rojas and Smith.

I am tending towards Thomas. Thoughts?

Thomas isn't overage though - he's only 20. Tyler Boyd is also only 20

I'd go for Smith (assuming he wants to play). That way our backline is pretty much the first choice one and I think that a front four of Fenton,  Thomas, Wood and Boyd should be good enough to create and finish chances. 

As always, the real concern is central midfield. Billy T and who? Rufer?

so it could look like 

                                Crocombe

Roux            Reid                      Smith            Wynne

                    Rufer                  Tuiloma

Fenton                          Boyd                       Thomas

                                      Wood
