After last years carry on, a big fat suck on that to Roberts, Sua, Demtre-i-e-i-o and Bennett.

Oates was looking extremely sluggish to start the season anyway.
I think it might be good to chuck a young speedster in next to Boyd and just get him to pass any chance he gets.

I feel like this side is being fired in the cauldron to be something special.

THe defence tonight was so impressive. Compared to the dog's breakfast last year, it was a revelation, and full marks to the coaching staff, and the players' attitude and enthusiasm, playing for each other, a lot like in 2015.
Some of Fifita's tackles were awesome. To contain a pretty good backline and spine like Souths is a great effort. Our defence and commitment made South's look pretty ordinary overall.

Really impressed with those players that have stepped up to cover injuries
Carrigan for Offa
Flegler for Lodge
Isaako for Bird
Hoppa for Glenn
They’re making strong claims to keep their jersey numbers

No doubt about it we got the best forward pack we have had since the days of Webcke and Civoniceva and you got to be impressed with how well the young forwards have stepped up in the absence of key forwards too.

I can't see Carrigan stepping up to cover injuries at all. For mine, he stepped up in the trials to make lock his own. No better lock going round than Carrigan

Bang on. I think with Tevita’s ill discipline, we are better off having TPJ come off the bench as an X-Factor forward and keep Carrigan starting. Carrigan will play Origin this year if it goes ahead.

Seibold looks fitter than Latrell and Seibs actually looks like he actually worked harder in the off season.

Not sure how bad his ribs are but I think Oates could do with a couple of weeks off anyway. Looks just physically and mentally off the pace much like Latrell but a disrupted pre season will do that.
With our start to the season and depth in the backline, we can afford to wait until Oates is closer to 100% NRL ready. Arthurs has been a very valuable addition.
A fit and firing Oates just adds another weapon in our arsenal so I think we play the long game with him this season.
