  • Probably the best available side..Shame Simonsen isn't available. Brown has been a passenger most of the year but he will be refreshed. Hope Eels can get a win 

    • No surprise really.
      Shame Ryles didn't stick with the same halves that did the job last week. DB in the centres to mark big Suli would have been good.
      Oh well, probably the best available 17.

      • Wouldn't be surprised if there's late changes 

      • Maybe he would have if smith wasn't suspended,  papalii will probably get a run at hooker during the game. 

  • Damn that's a lightweight bench.

    Going in with a bench made up of a backup back, utility and two edge forwards is definitely a recipe for disaster.

    • It's the same bench as last week minus Smith for Papali'i 

      • And?

        • Well it was not a disaster last week. Granted Dragons are a better opponent than Gold Coast but not by much. If playing Melbourne or Canterbury then yes. We got by quite fine with same bench, i think we will manage here too where it is not a disaster.

          • No it wasn't a disaster last week but then again, we were playing against the only team worse than us.

            We are also missing two of our starters with one of them (Penisini) replaced by Samrani who is arguably a better edge forward than centre and the other, our best hooker.

            St George are a far better side than the Titans and they have home ground advantage.

    • Guymer and Doorey are both primarily middles now. Moretti and Matto are both injured, only other option is Mataele

"Both are extended til 2027. Fletcher seems to be really impressing in pre-season, similar to what Smith did last year. Not saying he gets near FG but he could play Cup earlier than expected maybe."
