This is one of the dumbest narratives I've ever seen getting spoken about.
The uber driver was male, and he was also taken to hospital. We saying he swerved into that car on purpose just to hurt the mother and kid?
It being WIL round has absolutely nothing at all to do with him not playing this weekend. It's Slothfield Bronco hate driven garbage.

I think the only change we will see on Tuesday is someone else in the 6, whether it's Ezra remains to be seen.
I just cant see Madge making wholesale changes with 1 game before a bye and then origin when there will be forced changes.
I think they're needed. But I don't think he'll make them yet.

We can pick Train and Trial players for next round I think?
Im sure you know he did not do it on purpose. Either he was a shitty unregistered driver, drug impaired with little regard for laws or other citizens, or all of the above.
How long did his rehab last? Was such a great publicity stunt.

We should honestly be rebranded as the show ponies, we aren’t interested in anything that’s hard.

If we got out of our squad what the Dragons get from theirs we would be top 4. If we got out of our squad what the raiders get from theirs we would be undefeated. The club has a very deep cultural vulnerability, one they refuse to address. Prima Dona players that are losers but think they are winners.

Avoided the question, so I'll ask again. What did WIL round have to do with him not playing? Since you are claiming this is why he wasn't picked this week.
None of these things you mention above would be a reason for him not to play in WIL round.
. Maybe I need to stop watching for my physical & mental health.

Because the comp is a shit show ATM I still will not write us off as post Origin will likely be the time for the actual premiership contenders to flex their muscles, but this is a must win against a team we surely can beat.
Losing here is completely unacceptable.

Oh boy. It seems like we said that last year a heap of times too. Dogs, Titans games come to mind.
Anyone who thinks our team will be up for this hasn't been watching.
We, as tragic fans are usually 'up for it' but it seems the players don't feel the same way (apart from the usual suspects).
What I wouldn't give for a performance like the Raiders against Storm last week. Just once could we show some resilience and heart.
I watched the beautiful slow mo of Weekes eyeing up Papenhauzen and chipping over him from that game.
Can anyone see our players taking that option? Staggs could've ****ing done that tonight, but no.....

Sure it's hope, but there is plenty of examples of teams going on a tear post origin after a shitshow in the first half of the season, especially in a season like this one where it's hard to work out who are actually the premiership contenders.

Madge I know you want to pick Jock, don't do it, just pick Ezra Madge. Anyway another very unlikely team list to shake things up:
1. Arthars - Cobbo at fullback is not working. Arthars is your safer bet but likely wont offer much.
2. Karapani - Has been playing well for Bears, deserves a shot and is the metre eater winger everyone is crying for.
3. Staggs - Needs to step up, wow sure have said that before for Kotoni.
4. Mariner - Not a winger.
5. Shibasaki - Will offer everything he offers on the wing he does Centre.
6. Ezra - Sorely missed.
7. Reyno - We are nothing without him.
8. Payne - We are nothing without him.
9. Billy - Utilise your kicking game more.
10. Jensen - Do not regress now you are starting again.
11. Cobbo - Let him eat what he wants and run it straight.
12. Piakura - Improving.
13. Patty - Sorely Missed.
14. Mozer - It's time.
15. Xavier - Hope the cork comes good soon.
16. Te Kura - It's time.
17. Riki - Let him earn his spot back.

Barring Mam and Walsh coming back into the side and turning us around (Cobbo's past two performances highlight how good Walsh is and both Mam and Reece are ultra competitive), neither side are contenders this year. The Dragons are horrendous tho, so surely we're winning this.
