Agree, start Piper. Our second highest goalscorer last season and already made a big impact with 2 assists in 30 minutes. 

Not wanting to make it into a big deal or anything, but the calls here to start Piper (and/or LBS) take into account only what they brought to our team when they subbed on, but ignore the other party (the opposition). Italiano waited for Roar to bring the subs on.
Two less-experienced players in our team at the start is not exactly what I would consider best approach.  They are both very useful, and potential game-winners at a pinch, but they are not the mature readers of the game that you need in the first 20 minutes with the opposition at its strongest.
Who will you bring on to replace them once they tire?  The team that already got steamrolled in the first 20 minutes of both the Perth and Brisbane games?
