  Good-looking team Hodgson to play 80 again it would seem. Nice to see Russell get his chance.

  We need Matto and lane back round 4 fresh as daisy's , hopefully we can get the job done without them.. Moses will sign this week just before his 200th and it's Paulo,s 150th match.

  Looks like a good side. A little unsure about Jirah Momoisea as I don't recall him doing much last week. The other concern is Jake Arthur named as 18th man. Looks like he's slowly creeping his way back into the 17. Makatoa didn't even get a run last week. I wonder if Hynes is playing for the Sharks this week

    Hynes has been ruled out again. Unlikely to return until Round 5.

  Matto back in Round 4 (5 maybe?) and Lane back Round 6 (assuming estimate holds after surgery).

  One interesting stat: Murchie played half the minutes of Doorey but made more runs, more yardage, made more tackles, missed fewer tackles and had a higher tackle efficiency percentage. Not sure at that point why Murchie isn't starting instead of Doorey?

      Yeah the bigger body is more valuable off the bench

    They both played well. The sharks love the quick shifts and Doorey looks like the better mover

    Id say round 4 as he had 3 weeks out

  Simmonson named in the squad for Round 1 was cover for debuting Lumelume? Russel parachuted in now

    I thought Lume Lume has been good except for a couple of errors.

  I was campaigning for JA at least on the bench as cover for halves and Hodgson, but realised NSW cup are playing beforehand. BA apparently is prioritising NSW cup for JA this year which is good, so more likely why he wouldn't play him unless at late inclusion for Maka before kick-off.
