R6 vs CCM | Sat 12 Nov | 7:35pm | SS4

So no Kosta, Dura, Fenton, Moss, Doyle, Parkhouse or McGlinchey.

Guessing Fox in for Dura, Lowry for Fenton, Watson for Kosta and Roly for McGlinchey

And just to crash everyone back down to earth, here is our record during international windows.

I hope we win/draw

We will still win!

Probably line up:

Mambo

Tratt Fox Rossi Ridenton

A-Rod Lia Roly

Watson Finkler Krishna

Bench: Sail, Lowry, Rufer, Litfin, Rogerson

What about Rogerson or Litfin as a more like for like replacement for Kosta. We saw what happened against Melbourne City when Watson tried to play that wide role...

To be fair, that is far from the worst line-up we've had in an international window in the past. Hopefully Roly feels like he has a point to prove and gives Ernie something to think about when the AWs return.

This.  We just won the first game of our streak to winning the league, so it can't stumble next week.

Is Roux playing for NZ... he's pretty important for them on attack so will help us out.

No. squad here - www.nzfootball.co.nz

Personally I am less worried about Rogerson or Litfin than I am about Roly noticing he was benched against the Jets for a reason.

Q: do Fiji not have a game? Is Krishna being called up?

On another forum they're saying that Fiji has a bi this round.

The pools only have 3 teams in them. We get a bye in June because we needed confed build up.

To get a result this week is a pretty big ask.

Lets ask anyway

Seems pretty good, but is Ridenton really the best option at LB?

I was already annoyed he wasn't picked for NZ, now that I realise we are playing CCM and he is up against us it makes it even worse. Come on Hudson, help us out next time!

It's CCM, we usually gift them the points and then will beat the Victory after that hammering they gave us.

Will Fox get picked or will they look to drop Lia or A Rod into the backline?

Fox looked terrible the other day and I'd be a little hesitant to start him... play Rufer or Ridenton in the middle instead.

Rogerson has been poor apparently for the u20's perhaps Max for a shock call up... I day this more in fantasy and hope for a nz football prodigy to emerge and destroy opposition defences around the world.

Needs more Dog Jokes!

" We're in the sh*t. I fail to see the funny side..."

with last weekend's win I hope the worm has finally turned 

If the Nix win this week then every match thread for the rest of the season shall be canine clangers...

Please no, maybe it was different live but going back over the thread after the game the dog jokes got really old really fast.

Need to talk to C-Diddy and teach the old dog new tricks

we are so fudgeed

And no Manny for O'Donovan to headbutt - who will he pick on now?

some look happier than others...
