Team For The Next Few Rounds

Whats everyones team for the next few rounds? I'd be going with a few minor changes:

1. Jarryd Hayne
2. Luke Burt
3. Timana Tahu
4. Joel Reddy
5. Eric Grothe
6. Dan Mortimer
7. Kris Keating
8. Nathan Cayless
9. Matt Keating
10. Fuifui Moimoi
11. Nathan Hindmarsh
12. Ben Smith
13. Feleti Mateo

14. Anthony Mitchell
15. Tim Mannah
16. Justin Poore
17. Justin Horo

If Burt is still injured replace him with Inu.
Robson hasnt shown enough creativity for a starting half and needs to be replaced with Kris Keating who has looked dangerous in the trials and with the limited opportunities he has received at 7 this year. Even though Robbo was solid in defense, that is not the main priority for a number 7.
Having Mitchell off the bench will add that burst of creativity in the hooker position similiar to the keating/kingston combination last year.
Although he only had limited game time against the tigers last friday, Horo was one of our most powerful forwards when he ran the ball and he looks to offer more off the bench than Oake.

Burty's got at least another fortnight on the sidelines, so you don't need the panadol this week :-)

In my opinion I think everyone is busting to c the kk/ morts combo. Whether it will happen I don't know but kk showed he can defend just aswell as robbo on Friday. ( actually defended much better on the night) I hope to c it. Sharks seem a decent team to try it out on

My thoughts are Ando was worried about KK's defence which held up very well indeed against the tigers. He should start with KK this week. Is Morts over his mystery illness? If so KK at 5/8th and Morts to half.

I think you'll find there was more mystery and less illness. He'll definitely be back and I'm very hopeful we finally get to see KK and Morts run out together!

If Burt was free to play he would he would replace Inu and Oake would drop off the bench and Inu would take his place.

FSN just reported that FFMM has not been charged and is available for next week, thank goodness.
