Not many interesting choices, apart from Gillespie, I would have thought his days were over, but keeping a old vet on the payroll for another year aint too bad

Thats about right i reckon, maybe Tait in for Bracken if Bracken stuffs up for NSW and Tait fires for SA, but in the humid, swinging conditions of sunny QLD, Bracken all the way... maybe in Perth Lee and Tait will combine!

I wonder how many summers Gilly, Haydos and MacGill have... cant be many

Maybe Watson in for Jaques or Symonds? Do you think Bracken would get a test start over Johnson or Tait? Long time to wait though...bloody November!

I'm not a big fan of Jaques but I guess they need another opener...although I think Watson could do the job if he stays healthy. But i'd rather him back in QLD for the Bulls
