Thorman plays badly - Agar points the finger at him, and thats probably the last we'll see of him. Thorman plays well - Agar can tell us all how Thorman has 'shown great bravery and courage after being dropped last week, resulting probably in a contract extension.
I would expect Yeaman and Thackray to come back into the squad also, which means (for a change) Agar has some options. Unfortunately I think that would result in him choosing the wrong options and dropping players who shouldnt be dropped.
This is how I think we will line up (not saying I want it to be this team...)
Tansey Calderwood Whiting Yeaman Raynor Horne Thorman King Berrigan Cordoba Tickle Manu Radford
Subs: G.Horne Thackray Lee Moa/Burnett
Meaning Houghton, Hall and 1 of Moa/Burnett missing out.
Imo Thorman should be knowhere near the side, nor should G.Horne or Tommy Lee. However we all know they are Agar's 'golden boys' and therefore WRONGLY, Hall, Houghton and Moa/Burnett will miss out. I may and probably will be wrong, but thats what I think he'll go with. Imo though, it's a must that Hall, Houghton and Burnett play because they are local lads and they will give it their all, for sure. As for Moa, he has been one of our stand out players in recent weeks, so for me, he has to play.
I'd have no problem with Lee and Horne being in the side TBH, providing it's in the right places. Personally I'd go with:
Tansey
Calderwood
Hall
Yeaman
Raynor
Whiting
Berrigan
Radford
Lee
Cordoba
Tickle
Burnett
G Horne

Although a few of us (including me) seem to be agreeing here, R Horne has got 9 points in the MOM threads this season which is joint 6th.
Don't tell me, it's because everyone else is useless.

Are you mugging me off? Have you been watchin our games recently or are you basing this statement on previous seasons? Tommy Lee is one of only a handful of players to show any interest when playing in the team!

If you drop Moa who do you rotate the starting props with?.Hell we only have 3 props as it is.

I didnt say he wasnt 'showing interest', I was just implying that if thorman came in at 7, and berro to 9, Agar would go with lee as the interchange hooker and drop Houghton, which imo shouldnt happen given that Houghton has been one of our stand out players recently. I agree that Tommy Lee has worked hard this season and he deserves credit for that, but imo he is knowhere near as good as Houghton in the hooking role and therefore should be dropped on saturday IF Thorman is recalled.
Either Thorman is the most gullible man on earth for believing Agar who sounds like he was appeasing him, or Agar is even worse than we thought for still considering him
