If my memory serves me correctly there was quite a bit of pre-season excitement on here regarding a few players that have signed for them? The current evidence would suggest this isn't really working out at the moment.

Conceding 77 goals in 16 games in all competitions isn't very good reading. Wonder how long the coach has left before they make a change?

Reckon we could give Greenfield the night off for this one and give a couple of our two-way players a run out if available?

7-1 Steelers.

For me, if Greenfield isn't rested on Wednesday then Fox doesn't rate the back up he signed, unlike Morrone who stepped up on each occasion & to be fair deserved more starts, De Flippo must start, get his confidence up.

O dear, that doesn't bode well for the season, Greenfield will be burnt out if he hasn't got help so he can rest up.

Which I’ve been banging about most of this season.

If De-Filippo isn’t up to the standard that Fox wants then we need to be seeking a replacement.

There’s been a few CC games he could have played in, but we’ve played Greenfield instead. Which says to me that Fox doesn’t have confidence in him.

With the CHL games, we play more games this year, we need a backup that can play a dozen or so games. Morrone played 15 games last season and of course won every one.

Does one of our Brit goalies get this game if De-Fillipo isn’t favoured?

It's a massive shame we couldn't persuade Morrone to stay on but I can't blame the guy as he would've wanted more minutes, which he's clearly getting at his new club, just looked his stats up and doing very well with a save percentage of 92.3

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw him back in Orange one day as our No1

If greener is healthy and happy to play then he can play every game for me,,,been done in previous years. Im sure he would not play if he was not healthy and the back up would have to step in without any match games behind him and thats where the coach has to make these difficult decisions. The big factor is greener staying fit and the team as well. such a big factor in the seasons success is a injury free squad
