Currently on the books we have this line up:

Sail

Fenton Durante Rossi Doyle

Ridenton McGlinchey

Barbarouses Finkler Parkhouse

Krishna

Bench: ??? Fox Rufer McGarry/Singh Rogerson

My shopping list would be:

1 starting keeper (happy with either Moss or Mambo)

2 fullbacks (retain Tratt if there is the +1 & look for another LB)

1 CB (retain Lowry)

2 DMs (Paartalu and a Riera replacement please)

1 central striker (an upgrade on Watto, take the risk on Gameiro maybe)

1 wide striker

 

Re: keeper, I'm still not convinced on Mambo and it really looks like Moss is gone. I'd want Marinovic seeing as he's off contract in June and in the AWs games I've seen of him he's looked better than Mambo IMO. I'd also retain Lia and A-Rod so I don't think DM is a priority at this stage. Our first choice defence has been solid and our real issue has been creating and finishing quality chancrs

My own request would be someone to pair upfront with Kosta and Roy as both of them need support.

That won't be Smeltz (he's off to Borneo) or Watson (he's OK as backup, but not as first strike option in this league).
