Well, here's a selection of my Probable’s v Possible’s, assuming fitness.
I am the first to admit there is some bias in selection but that is more based on the amount I have seen each team play and promising signs I have seen from those matches rather than ladder position or any outright Force-blue glasses.
Still a few rounds to go and injuries to factor in but a starting point for some no doubt passionate debate to come.
For clarity, a bench spot for the Probable’s is more favoured than a starting spot in the Possible’s, i.e. Hookers ranked Polota-Nau, Faingaa, Moore, Whittaker etc.
Be good to see your own selections to add to the debate rather than just derision!
