    Yea unless Beattie gets tired. But I recon Beattie should play 80min and Jez goes middle when Petrus comes on

      I just relooked at the team. Nohra is on the bench because I assume Lorenzo will only play the first half as he is on the NRL bench. Plus Hudson is making his cup debut to spell Smitz which I have been asking for. So we only have 2 forward on the bench in Talagi and Petrus so I expect them to play big minutes and yeah for Jez to move into the middle.

        Ah i was wondering why Lorenzo only played 40 last weekend. Makes sense.
        
        It really seems Lorenzo is now close to the debut. Can almost touch it.

        Yep as I was saying when the injured players return I expect JR to pull the trigger

        EA, been meaning to ask. Who from our lot do you expect will get U19's Origin selection?
        
        Petrus and Talagi for NSW and Koina for QLD I reckon are best bets. Maybe Bamblett?

        Don't get your hopes up on Petrus staying, being from png he'll be targeted.
        
        Anyway which good dev players has mark o'neill every brought through and signed long term??
        
        Charlie Guymer is O'neill's poster boy for development at the moment as his other starter Russell has already left and big Sam will be next

        I was thinking that last night on how Petrus is from PNG. The tax free money is a massive sell, as would be representing your country in NRL. Though MON did say a lot of our juniors are locked up long term, let's see if he is right. If he is, Petrus will be signed past 2027 at least. Same as Koina til 2028.

Nanva over Kelly and Samrani over Russell or Penis.

Either way, the Warriors will run up a cricket score against that shit team.

Forward pack is soft as shit

Bring in teancum brown, change it up

Paulo is rubbish he needs to be benched permanently, no foresight whatsoever from our R&R to have a replacement ready for this year

  Paulo was our best forward for the past two weeks, our fault was doing one hit run up the whole game when manly was playing second phase play in the second half.
