Whilst I agree regards injuries…Palmer anyone?… I think we’re carrying more than a couple of deadwood tbh.
All keepers are not good enough.

Macari looks promising. Baldwin has it, but the mistakes are worrisome to say the least. The rest…cut.

Midifeld…Keep Palmer, Robertson, JoB as part time coach. Crowley is good on his day, but his attitude is a worry. I’d keep Jones and Nemane as well, but purely on wingers basis.
The rest cut.

Up front…
McGoldrick. They’re not going to release him so keep as sub. Macca, Jatta and Scott keep.
The rest cut.
