  • I'm not sure why this is such a big deal. Clearly having Marata on the bench gives coverage for an outside back as well as an extra middle.. But now Marata is starting BA feels he needs a bench player for outside back coverage. 

  • My head hurts. 

  • No this can't be true, Carty to 17

    Opacic ? 

  • What a dumb decision. Our bench looks pretty ordinary tbh and is going to provide little impact. Souths have a much better bench than us. I fear we are going to expect big minutes from Jr and RCG in the middle and it’s a chance of blowing up in our face.

    • That's a fair point Mannah Brow, the Souths pack have a habbit of aiming up against the Eels. Last year when they put 40 on us there forwards wore ours out. 

  • This can't be right, Rodwell gets 5 minutes meaning we're relying on maca and khafusi as the only reserve forwards. This has to be some kind of joke from Arthur 

  • BA is forced to have Jake as first choice utility because we only have 28 fit players.

  • Tom O at 100kg to get a run in the forwards????

  • How does this make any sense. Another example of poor coaching from BA.
