When you look at our team, Mannys indiscipline has come at a really shark time.
Of our 23
Out: Manny (sus), JBS, Kenny, Appiah, Durante, Ridenton (inj) and that's assuming Durante does not pass the fitness test. I think I would rather he sit this one out if he is 50/50 and trust in what we have for a week than potentially popping and being out a month.
That leaves 17. If you are not picking Boyd, which is a given, then that leaves you with the bare 16 with Griffith, Rufer, Hicks, Lia and Italiano on the bench.
Weenix will probably get humped this weekend by Canterbury (actually maybe not) with no first teamers dropping down. Assume Boyd has a pedicure booked or something....
Why is that a given? The club would be willing to cut off their nose to spite their face?
