The chook team is far far far superior (on paper). If we keep them to a margin of less than 20 we will have played to our best ability.
I thought matterson had broken ribs and was out 3-4 weeks?.
That roosters team looks like they could put 60 on the eels, yikes!.
Roosters team should be winning the comp by 10 points with that lineup. Must have something to do with coaching.
I wonder who Sivo comes in for. I think it will be Tago. But it does not make sense to drop the player we apparently extended for 2 years instead of Talagi who is leaving at the end of the year.
Surely Tago shifts to centre, Sivo to the wing and Talagi to reggies.
I want to see Tago in centre. Apparently he's better there even.
If there was no chance of the spoon I'd agree. Just give those that are gonna be here next game time. But, right now, Talagi, despite his defensive lapses is still the best option to avoid a spoon.
I wouldn't mind see Unappreciative Blaize dropped and Ethan Martin given a chance.
We are more than likely going to get beaten so may as well give some more youngsters a chance to see how they handle the bright lights
The Dunster has returned to reggies. Martyn listed on the wing. I would be playing Martyn on the wing and Dunster at centre/second row.
Sivo in for Russell, Harper in for Turncoat and Doorey in for Keir.
Cant have Doorey and tuilagi on the bench. Our middle would be too weak
