Currently no thoughts of loaning Rooney out. Fair enough. That will be 5 10s for 2 places though, including Sibley, Barks, and NML (unless one of those is pencilled in for a WB role). I wouldn't be against offloading Barks either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see they'd let him go unless they're offered 2-3 million. Similar with Brannigan. I think they'd get championship interest in both if they were willing to part.

Tallies up with Warne’s talk of attacking players too. I wouldn't read too much into a game against Matlock. Warne said he sent the team out with no instructions and when asked what he hoped to get out of the game said "nothing". It was just a kickabout.

Would be mightily weird to just play a formation we aren’t planning on using. I am aware what he said, but that didn’t stretch to naming a team and a position. I’ll be shocked if the base plan isn’t 2 AMs and 1 ST. Obviously, I’m sure it’s fluid based on situation, but that is what he is after.

I didn’t watch the game but, as you say, what SRG and Big Trav are saying marry up… A predicted line up based on the players selected to start. It seems they tried to guess the order of the back 3 too, as anyone with prior knowledge of the academy would have known who would line up where. It started off with 3511, with Barkhuzien behind Collins. When Radcliffe came on for Barkhuizen, it was Tommo who was pushed further forward with Radcliffe sitting in the 3 man midfield. Second half seemed a bit more fluid. It was hard to tell if it was a back 4 with Moore at RW (with no LW), or if it was just the same formation with Moore pushing further forward than Moloney. Lineup with players used in each role: Wildsmith/Vickers/Loach Rooney/Bardell Forsyth/Nelson Cox/Cashin Ward/Moore Tommo/Radcliffe/Smith Hourihane/Bird DRobinson/Radcliffe/DRobinson Elder/Moloney Barkhuizen/Tommo Collins/Brown The first game is all about getting players out on the pitch in positions they're familiar with. Based on the players available, 3511 was the best fit. With Washington, Mendez-Laing, and Sibley returning to the squad, we'll see a change to what we're more likely to use during the season (3421).
