Do we think Semu comes in and Mozer out? Carrying 1 hooker and 1 utility seems a waste of a forward that could be handy.

Bench looks thin. I'd expect big minutes from our starters, BHunt in for Paix at some point, and possibly 20 minutes from Talty and Tawha.

Moving forward from Te'o, I am not too worried, especially if Madge used his defensive structure in that Storm game. Just need more of that game for the remainder of the year.

Secondly, prop and hooker rotation needs to be sorted. Talty is stepping up, and X when he starts on the bench, but this game, we need either Tawha or JHunt to get busy.
 
Big jobs for Willison & Talty.

Arey might still be in question. Might drop at any moment in the game. In which case Hunt to halfback, Mozer still on the 6 man bench in case Paix can't do 80.
 
Middle rotation was looking like a concern... primarily due to the insanely slow development of BTK.

We cop one injury in the middle and Semu is on the extended with a bench of Talty, Aublix and Jhunt.

We can basically lock Patty into playing 80, but who is even the second prop out of Aublix and Jhunt.

Aublix played prop at dolphins last year so Im guessing it's him, but I think he came through mostly as a second rower.

Hopefully he'll be fired up to play his former team, but Teo was basically the one who brought him to Broncos and Redcliffe before that
 
Well, lets see the difference now with Arey at 7 instead of Hunt. See how involved Walsh is in attack with Reynolds calling the shots.

If this is a big win, debates over.

If not....got to start asking if we do have the right guy at 7?

If BTK can't make that squad, he's not playing for us in 2027.

Didn't he get injured in Q Cup to start the year?

Dolphins will play at a breakneck speed and I'm really worried we're not going to keep up. Our age defence is going to be under some intense pressure. Herbie is offloading almost every hitup he takes at the moment.

It's not just one thing, I think this has been simmering along for a while. Te'o got upset when he was approached by Slater to be involved with the Queensland team and Madge said no.

Boo hoo! We paid his wage, he doesn’t exactly have the runs or experience on the board to be abandoning the team 3 times a year only a year into the role.

Like Ballin was stopped last year?

well if Ballin was permitted to do it, I'd say it was one or the other ... no way we could afford to lose our entire assistant coaching staff to Origin duties
