With no hope of reaching the Top 8 URC places, a season that promised so much a couple of months ago, has fissled out into an end of season dead rubber against the Lions with nothing but pride to play for. I will look to do a Post about how and why the season fell apart as it did another time but for now we concentrate on the Lions match.
With nothing on the game, one wonders who Mark will select for this game. Will he give the fringe players who might be leaving one last shot or do he stay true to those who have been his go to selections?
I think he will stick with his go to selections and this is the squad I think he will pick...

Case in point today, last kick of the game, we don't even lift our lock with two lifters because we don't have two lifters in place to lift him. Genuine amateur level preparation. No other pro team, not even the Dragons in the midst of the worst season of all time, would do that. I'd laugh if a SRC team did that but we did it with the game on the line. Unbelievable
