I've brought in Hugh Pyle from the Rebels as my smokey for the week (to replace Bekhuis, my cheap-ish who did nothing) and Wyatt Crockett to replace Slipper (who also did nothing). I really wanted to buy Benn Alexander as I reckon he's a good chance of getting a tight head or two tonight, but he still looks rather unfit to me. I was also very close to simply promoting Cowan from the bench.
Odds on I will regret that decision on Sunday.
I am undecided on my third transfer decision. I'd like to sell Lambie, but not sure which outside back to buy. I'd also like to get rid of Pocock for another flanker.
Finally, who to make the captain? I am thinking of either Ioane or Thomson.
