Thanks for the above. Oi-matey and myself must have outscored a lot of people to get so far forward in this case. Oi-matey and myself had the same players in the squad this time around - so we could not get different points.
There are problems lurking though in the final two tests. I accepted that there would be no Lions players playing today that would be in the starting line-up on Saturday - so we have to make 12 changes for the coming weekend - which left us with only four changes for the final test.
I may mention that I am not going to change my approach to the lock issue and will have the two locks I had in the first test in both. I also doubt whether in the absence of injuries - there will be changes to players like Moore, Youngs (at hooker), Folau and North, as well as Hooper - so I am pretty certain four changes may be sufficient to cover the final test as well.
The problem is the fact that Barnes will not play on Saturday - so we will be forced into selecting Genia as a HB again - plus Sexton - who will not be kicking at goal - so we are not getting anywhere fast in respect of that position as well.
The key selection problems would be at center and also the other loosie together with Hooper. Davies seems the to be the top candidate - but a partner will be a lottery - since all the other centers made no impression at all in the 1st test.
However, all will be revealed when the teams are announced - so lets wait and see what happens.

I did submit a grunt and got $200 000 extra - but even that could not change my lock combination of the two cheapest locks in the game - who obviously was not playing. If they dish out another $200 000 before the game on Saturday - I may have just enough money to buy Kane Douglas or Geoff Parling as a lock - will try again tomorrow and see what happens.
