Same team as Burton?

I wouldn't. Wing backs weren't right. Get Hubby on the left and Lyons on the right. CJ on the bench. Back 3 of Connolly Marv Casey.

Will he go for 2 DMs? Bring in Dougall or Virtue for Carey? Possibly but i think he'll stick with two AMs and a very safe back 5. I think 2 up front and two AMs is his attempt to be more positive this time round.
 
He’ll be cautious with this one, he won’t want them to score early, I can see the emphasis being on the back five, looking for breakaways, or long balls to Beesley looking for him to lay it off to Lavery and possibly CJ for his pace
 
Demi Mitchell has been playing LW, but may be injured from Exeter’s season opener. Opportunity to play a more attacking wing-back like Lyons or CJ. Could be a similar approach to the Burton game.
 
This will be another challenge for Critchley,but what we have seen so far we are more than capable of a result.
GRIMSHAW
CONNOLLY/CASEY EKPITETA PENNINGTON/HUSBAND
LYONS/CONNOLLY NORBURN THOMPSON/HUSBAND
MORGAN CAREY
LAVERY BEESLEY

Josepf looked the part will be involved
Dougall also be involved at some stage.
Hamilton I think will be on the bench will bring him on when its right.
Apter or Dale ?

The Old Firehouse and Black Horse near the ground and some nice pubs on The Quay for Saturday night , think there is a fair few of us out in Exeter Saturday night .
 
Seems like a 50/50 game to me. Keep it tight n hit em on the break is my guess the way critch will go. So 5 at the back? But who knows what critch is thinking ahead of a busy week. It’s madness not to play Lyons n Trybull n I hope to see them on Tuesday night. If we were to best Exeter then we are gonna be champions. 😉
 
I'd be surprised if Pennington will be risked so I'd imagine it is a toss up between Connolly and Casey for back three. Personally would go for Casey and Lyons for Connolly but suspect Critch will go for Casey with Connolly at wing back. Being away from home he might bring Lyons in for CJ - takes away some attacking threat but makes a really strong back line and a really threat from set-pieces (Marvin/Casey/Lyons).
 
Every credit to all who are making the trip, especially those from the Gold Coast
It’s a long old journey
