Both Tuivaiti and Tuilagi out, who replaces them?

What was our strongest part of our team is now getting slimmer. With Tuilagi and Tuivaiti out, who do we see coming in for the week?

More likely we see Williams stay in the middle and Guymer moves to an edge. Then the two bench spots for Tuivaiti and Guymer would more likely be taken up by de Belin and Brown. Not sure if someone like Jezaiah Funa-Iuta will be ready either.

So Russell for Nanva is one change. De Belin will get Tuivaiti's spot more likely. So who replaces Tuilagi?

            • 💯 if anything I'd send spies to Riffs S and C as there young kids look like and are seemingly playing like men straight out of there teens.

        • I thoughts Kelma efforts today was not that bad

          • Except Kelma is often too slow to get off the deck and get set in defence. It's why I think Williams needs to be on an edge. Williams wins contact and his fitness is superior.

            • Yea I agree with that. 

      • That's why he got hooked. Then comes back on and was not too bad. But why does it take for him to get hooked to start doing his job.

    • This forward pack.
      Experience is required more than ever right now, especially against a boosted Bulldogs pack after their last win. 

  • I think they may challenge the Tuilagi grading based on JR press conference. NSW cup today had a total of 2 games of nrl experience in it lol. Mataele 1 game and Loizou is game from years ago. Felt sorry for Lorenzo. Nothing came off for him today. He tried but nothing came off. JR said in his press conference said he is not going to risk youngsters long term development so I reckon they will persist with Volkman

    • Volkman was not bad at all today, has a good step and kicking game in him, his defence was okay I thought he was better than Pezet

      • Not a hard thing to do. 

    • Volkman wasn't great but he tried. That's all you can ask for from him. Heard him say that though I'm wondering when is the right time to play some kids? The likes of Lorenzo and Petrus could be proper NRL players next year.
