Brisbane have won six games for the season, the Bulldogs have won five. Nothing guaranteed.

The spine conundrum with Boyd is too difficult to figure out .. but as long as TPJ keeps running on the fringe in attack to make the most of his size and offload I'll be appeased.

Depends on the criteria exactly.. but Jack Reed was unsung. Always copped more criticism than deserved. Had matches where he got outgunned by a quicker opponent, but generally took the right option with the ball. Could set up his outside man. Darren Smith and Tonie Carroll.. but that's just...

Kevvie looked flustered and nervous more than anything else IMO. Understand being confident, but surely comments like 'we will win' are just ammunition for the opposition. Can't really fault the team based on who's available though. As good as he's been, glad they didn't go Matt Scott.

Think we need a bit of energy from the get-go. Flegler has that. Play him for 15 or so and then another stint later on. Mind, I'd be dropping Lodge to the bench, putting Flegler at prop and Ofahengaue at lock.

Team isn't playing well but surely some black cats, ladders, mirrors and Wayne Bennett hex involved.

Was our best forward last year. Well down this season, but isn't alone. Could be wrong but he looks a bit lighter?

Cat amongst pigeon time to an extent. 1. Bird 2. Oates 3. Staggs 4. Boyd 5. Isaako 6. Milford 7. Dearden 8. Flegler 9. McCullough 10. Haas 11. Fifita 12. Gillett 13. Ofahengaue 14. Turpin 15. Lodge 16. TPJ 17. Glenn

The young pack did their job last night but the spine (which has 782 games of NRL experience) butchered it. Still can't get my head around how poor that non-field-goal set was. Said before the season that we need two hookers because McCullough doesn't offer enough. Thoughts haven't changed...

Curious to see tonight. Happy to optimistically run a line through the Storm match as Brisbane haven't beaten them in years and managed to keep within 10 points despite being pummeled in the forwards. Much talent in the pack, but still developing that hard edge so many others have with...

Hunt had the second-man play to a tee before anyone else. Was ball playing seasons before Slater could throw a pass.

1. Boyd 2. Oates 3. Roberts 4. Bird 5. Isaako 6. Milford 7. Nikorima 8. Ofahengaue 9. McCullough 10. Lodge 11. Su'a 12. Gillett 13. Pangai Jr 14. Glenn 15. Fifita 16. Haas 17. Staggs Think those are Brisbane's 17 best players. Probably a prop forward short though. Think Glenn will have to play...

Curious to see how Seibold juggles forwards in the middle. Ofahengaue is going to have to shoulder a lot of the work. TPJ seems the obvious choice at lock. Perhaps we'll see Glenn spend some time in the middle with Gillett, Su'a and Fifita on the fringes? Also curious to see the bench. Seibold...

Very well. Glenn useful this season with such a young pack and Gillett coming back from a prettty serious injury.

So are Kahu and Glenn, like, staying for 2019?

Proof will be in the pudding I guess. Thought Brisbane could ill afford to lose an older head considering the youth of the pack. Fingers crossed Gillett is the same player he was but who knows. Take him out of the forwards and it looks very green.

Think McCullough works better with a back-up hooker off the bench. The two-punch with Nikorima in 2015 worked well. Mostly because Nikorima was dynamite but reckon McCullough also pushed himself more in attack. If he knows he has to play 80, I'd imagine he'd be wary of not burning himself out...

Joe Ofahengaue was the club's best forward this year I reckon, and the most consistent player. Players' player is indicative. Hope he starts next season. Lodge had some better games but was missing in quite a few.

Todd Murphy off to the Sunshine Coast Falcons apparently.

Being streamed on qrl.com.au for those interstate. Would love to see the Tiges get one after four QCup GF losses. The centre match-ups should be good. Just hope Neumann doesn't have his feet stuck in concrete.
