It would be an issue with City and Girona too.. If one has to step aside, then Girona would obviously make way as the owners will prioritise City. Which would be really unfair on Girona and their fans..
I knew about the first two. Didn't know about Akanji.. The timing of these friendlies is crazy with huge games for clubs in the league and Champions league shortly after..
City seem more affected than others. Defence has been City's biggest problem, so I would have rather had issues with...
No surprises there. Hopefully we can beat Souths for once but with them desperate for a win, I'm not confident as Latrell and Walker always seem to play well against us.
With so many rep players like Cleary, Haas, Tino, Walsh, Moses etc dropping like flies after just three weeks, whatever team someone comes up with now will change massively soon.
I would rather that too, but I think Ciraldo prefers Curran to stay in the middle rotation and has talked up Salmon as an edge previously. Hopefully Kikau plays and we don't have to worry about hypotheticals.
Hopefully he can play.. He's lifted his game massively the last two weeks and made a huge impact in attack and defence.. If not, Ciraldo will probably move Salmon there with Curran/Mann at lock and Kautoga on the bench.
No coach is going to make more than minor changes after winning by 30 plus unless they're forced to due to injury.
Poasa coming in for Knight or Hughes will probably be the only change if there are any at all.
