Patston or Hunt are probably pur best options to carry on the bench that can cover edge backrow.

Yeah, geez, I didn’t even realise we only get an 11 day turnaround. At least south’s get the same. But Manly/Roosters get 14 days.

Start. Jensen.
We really need a bloke on the bench who can cover an edge, and it's sad that our squad's 3rd best edge is a reserve grade middle in Hunt.

Patston isn't in our top 30, honestly thought he would be worth a shot as backrow cover but we would have to wait till Origin period to use him.

Just fast track him, he looks the goods.

You can use your 30 or development players anytime, but they need to be added to your 30 or development list and Patston hasn't got that yet.
Train and trials are finished now so Patston is just a Bear playing Norths on Saturday.

Brisbane have only used 28/30 NRL spots, so they have room to bring him in.
I doubt they're in any rush to do so. Burleigh play this Saturday with Brisbane playing the following Thursday. That's not a big turn-around, then the following they have Penrith at Penrith on the Thursday so the earliest would be the Cowboys game.
Ideally, Patston/O'Neil can bide their time in QCup and when Origin rolls around you can bring him in against a weakened side. Otherwise if you're turning to these players hoping for them to hit the ground running, 9/10 you're going to wind up disappointed.
For Brisbane's sake, they need an NRL player to hit the free market.

I think it`s his tackling style .
Need more ball and all tackles on the edge . He tackles low a lot , which means quick PTBs if he doesn`t get support in his tackles .

Willison has to come into the 17.
Should never have been removed from the 17 for Round 1.

I reckon we could get the younger Haas if we really wanted.

Pretty poor game against the Chooks but as long as we keep building on where we are we will go far this year. No point peaking in round 1!

Which I think would be a concern for the other team yesterday because that might be exactly what the Roosters have done. They were just about perfect yesterday.

Anyone think Walsh might miss a game? Has he been charged?

Oh yes, I forgot about that. Shame he didn't try to wrap the arms, it was a great shot let's be honest.

He will be safe. He did attempt to wrap arms but the jump up high was just awkward. If they do charge him - probably G1 for $1500
