Good to Sims/Wapau keep their spot over Te'o for now.

 

[Jeza23]

Should be a good enough team to beat the injury prone knights and keep our winning form going!

 

[ningnangnong]

Argh, Michaels is still in the team!

He has been mediocre all year.

I'd rather an extra forward on the bench then Gorrell but that's not going to happen.

 

[Foordy]

are Setu, and Te'o still injured?

 

[Alec]

are Setu, and Te'o still injured?

I thought Setu was just dropped, not injured. And I'm 90% sure Te'o is supposed to be back this round.

 

[rnabokov]

I'd rather see Taylor than Palmer - imo, Taylor hasn't done anything to warrant being dropped. Having said that, it's good that Wapau is getting game time at the top level.

I too would have liked to have seen Folau in the centres.

Just hope that this time, kicks go his way for a change.

[sydney_bronco09]

no mullen or cross? or just covering them up before the game?

 

[Fozz]

Geez, Uate has been named the last two games two but pulled out. What a fantasy league killer.

 

[Fozz]

And Mullen has a bung shoulder. He was on a needle for the Tigers game and it didn't last so that is probably why he is out. Good for us, he is in top form.

 

[rnabokov]

Personally, I'd rather have us play a full strength Knights team.

We need the practice Against full strength, quality sides.

 

[Jeba]

are Setu, and Te'o still injured?

I thought Setu was just dropped, not injured. And I'm 90% sure Te'o is supposed to be back this round.

Wrong. Teo is due back next week it said in the paper today.

 

[Clintos]

Cross is out for the year - Mullen could be out of Origin 1.

The Knights have Steve Simpson returning this week as well and Housten has been in good form recently, so they are still fielding a fairly strong team. I wouldn't be surprised to see Rogers out on game day as well.

 

[The Brizz]

If Houston plays prop like named that is a plus (I doubt it will happen, he will swap with Simpson) Houston has been devastating running wide.

 

[uji]

When you compare the sides on paper we should absolutely destroy them... Knights are always tough at home though. I still think we will beat them pretty convincingly.

 

[Coxy]

Mullen and Cross are massive losses for them.
