I trust then they'll be sent home at the conclusion of their events.

surely if qld win they will party late into wednesday night.

thursday might be a complete write off.

[noisetheory]

as in im stating the obvious or as in they wouldnt party?

 

[noisetheory]

hodges petero and thaiday not playing

hannant, parker named to start, with gillett on bench.

maranta stays on the wing.

5 man bench including dodds lui and gibb.

still no anderson.

i think its a good make up.

 

[ethos]

Not sure why people are thinking otherwise.. it'll definitely be a tough game.

The Cowboys always lift for games against Brisbane, they're a much better team at home and Thurston tends to have a blinder backing up from Origin.

i like the team, i think we're better off using Beale in the centers with maranta on the wing than using Gillett in the centers

As in my comment was connecting "guns" and the stupid swimmer photo "scandal" and their ridiculous punishment (being sent home from the olympics immediately after their events are finished, no partying with the team)...
However, carry on.

I agree.

 

[Coxy]

I agree.

+1. Definitely better. Gillett isn't effective in the centres.

So after that - would be very very very surprised if Parker is right to go on Friday night. Gillett or Lui to start??

 

[Bucking Beads]

Parker is no chance of playing. Could be out For a few weeks. The skin on the shin is so tight it will split open so easily

That plus risk of infection. No way they'll risk him.

So I'd actually start with Lui. Gillett is better off the bench IMO.

No surprises, and he hasn't named the starting side yet. But Parker out, Hannant and Gillett to back up, Gibb into the 17.

So it's just a question of whether Gillett or Lui will start.
