No Hala?

 

[Big Pete]

Hmmm, must have forgot about him when I made my revision, originally had him at prop with McGuire at lock.

He'd be on the bench for either Gibb or Dodds.

17. Take your pick

No, I did not forget Alex Glenn. Just don't think he'll be fit.

Aren't we lucky.

Playing the team least effected by Origin.

It's remarkable that the team usually most affected by origin is playing the team least affected, not once, but TWICE!

If that's not bad enough, after the second game in NZ we have a 4 day turn around before playing Melbourne in Melbourne. Going to be tough.

Lol, serious? So our second game without origin stars is against the Warriors again?

Garbage. So unfair.

Garbage. So unfair.

4 days after origin two in NZ.

 

[Son Edo]

That's good I guess, maybe a couple of blokes will back up from the game.

Doubt it, hook won't want to burn em playing 3 games in 10 days across Sydney to Auckland to Melbourne.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

I'll be tipping against us. Literally zero faith.

 

[Huge]

No Granville either..! Or you reckon he'll make the Origin squad:)

 

[Charmamba]

Hopefully the Warriors have a solid win this weekend and fall back into their old ways next weekend..

Look for the Broncos to win this one by a solid margin.

 

[Unbreakable]

No Granville either..! Or you reckon he'll make the Origin squad:)

With Hunt demoted back to the bench there's no use for Granville.

I expect to see:

1. Norman
2. Maranta
3. Kahu
4. Hoffman
5. Kemp
6. Prince
7. Wallace
8. McGuire
9. McCullough
10. Anderson
11. Glenn (c)
12. J.Wallace
13. Lui

14. Hunt
15. Hala
16. Slyney
17. Dodds

How weird ! Good enough for first grade and can't make the seconds...! I'd have Granville in a heart beat. Good defender and could play just about any position except front or second row. Certainly adds a bit, not to argue but I'd find space for him.

Bloody oath.

IMO, if we are keen to stay with Hunt, he needs to get dropped only so he can un-learn his hooker role and get a lot of game time re-learning how to play in the halves.

Meanwhile, Granville ought to be kept and given more and more time in 1st grade 'cos as I see it, he should be our 1st string hooker next year

 

[Mister Wright]

I'd like to see (although I know it won't happen).

1. Norman
2. Kemp
3. Hoffman
4. Kahu
5. Maranta
6. Hunt
7. Wallace
8. McGuire
9. McCullough
10. Anderson
11. Glenn
12. Slyney
13. Lui

14. Prince
15. Hala
16. Oates
17. Dodds

When Macca comes off, Prince can slot into Halfback & Wallace can go to dummy half. Then in 2nd half when Macca comes back on either Hunt or Prince can be replaced. This allows our defence to be tighter at the start of the game and Prince will be fresher towards end of 1st half and start of 2nd where we let ourselves down a lot. Also, I think Hunt showed a lot more last night then the week before & should be allowed some time to develop in the role on a consistent basis.

Can't find a spot for J. Wallace after last night's effort. If not Oates, then Whitchurch to the bench.
