💥 JUST MISSING THE CUT 💥
Lachie Ash – 136 and 84 are Ash’s last two scores this year and against the Saints in the past he has had 109 and 113. Great record at home.
Harry Sheezel – A very nice 118 last week . Sheezel has had 119 and 123 in his last two games against the Eagles and will be tops here.
Lachie Whitfield – My days of backing in Whitfield are running out, but this match-up can’t be denied. Maybe it’s his turn this week instead of Ash.
Jack Sinclair – Hot form averaging 116 this year and last week against the Giants we saw ‘non-premium’ defenders like Jaques 112 and Budarick 87 score with ease.
