I hope the decision to not have an extra forward on the bench doesn't come back to bite Prince on the ass.

Is this Brigginshaw's last game or is it next year?

Can go a few ways

1. It won’t matter, and Hayley is part of a premiership side - and arguably after last year deserves it before she retires (she’s 33)

2. It will blow up on him and the pack underperforms, missing that extra forward

3. We cop an injury or two and we can activate the 18th player, depending on the circumstances, or we just need fullback cover and Prince looks like a genius.

I can also understand not putting a rookie in like Hicks in front of a big crowd in a big game. Sauaso is already there as a rookie but she’s a different level at this point of their careers

She’s agreed to play on next year, could go either way if we win though

She either retires or plays on hoping for a second.

Will be big changes in the halves if she does with Gayle leaving as well
 
I think Brigginshaw plays on regardless.

Unless it's announced after the GF that we've signed Southwell, maybe then she would hang up the boots.

Still need another half, unless we run Maddick at 6 or go all in on Adams who has only played 3 games and only one this year for 9 minutes.

Not saying she can’t do it but to go from Gayle and Ali to a rookie half + someone else will be a huge whiplash
 
Hall given the all clear, what a shock.

That's a big in for the Roosters. That's a big bench that the Roosters will have.
 
That makes no sense

Herdegen is a (very inexperienced) half

One of our former development players

It's a strange one.

What's also strange is making Hall a late inclusion 24 hours prior and then scratching her on gameday.

Strange making some strange decisions.
 
I really don’t see the roosters winning this with that bench and without Aiken

Broncos 18+
