Referee: Jarrod Cole

Fullback Isaiah Iongi returns from an ankle injury suffered in Round 4 so Joash Papalii moves to five-eighth alongside Ronald Volkman, who takes over from Mitch Moses (hamstring). Forward Kitione Kautoga (knee) is also back on deck and Sam Tuivaiti is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from a shoulder injury. Skipper Junior Paulo is set to miss eight weeks of footy after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure for his right knee due to chronic injury. Jack Williams lines up at prop and will also captain the side in the absence of Moses and Paulo.

"Hes a great coach with the worst roster and he still gets them up for games, he's beaten quality sides that some sides struggle to play. Give him a world class roster he'd be playing finals every year, but the front give him ron massey cup roster."

"Can we stop being so dramatic. Paulo has one year left at most he ain't going anywhere. I highly doubt Ryles leaves unless it is for Melbourne and even then unlikely to relocate. Fox wont go. Moses is the only one who could ask to get out.…"

"Not sure if you are or not. All i know, based on information given, was that Ryles pulled out due to Dragons getting involved in who he hired as assistants and their say on recruitment. He also wanted a 5 year deal and they were only going to go…"

        I was being sarcastic.

that's one depressing Lineup. i don't know how we're going to get out of this mess with that bald kunt and the tigers fan still there

I don't get why Ryles is so adamant on playing NRL players in cup before coming into the NRL squad

Is there anywhere else where your starting hooker and fullback play a game in cup before coming into the 17? Just seems odd

  Both have played under 35 NRL games. Probably how Ryles does it?
  
  Iongi played it last week during a bye so no foul there. But they are still kids in NRL terms.

Dylbags and Ponga to put a some fair amount of points on us

I get the feeling ryles may do a ricky stuart and leave at the end of the season and go to the dragons or storm. No signings except sua things are not looking good. Cowboys lose drinkwater, perdue will go to fullback ramien centre and katoa will replace tuilagi who is joining easts. We lose players and replace with no one

  Looking at this team list, I'd say he's becoming part of the problem at Parra.

    While you are looking at the team list, take time to look at the injury list and then tell us who should be playing.

      3 players automatically id pick in the starting side. That are either in NsW cup or in the bench.
