I really do wish Bellyache would put in an actual halfback just in case in the future Widdop or Cronk get injured we can rely on one. But more than likely it will just be a stopgap this week and Widdop will take over.

Not sure how accurate but the in today's HS it said Sika, Proctor and Norrie were unlikely. Surely at least one of them would run out you'd think, that said if they're not 100% i'd rather not risk them re-injuring themselves only to stay out longer.

Honestly there has not been a better chance then this in YEARS to blood some fringe players, I say bring all our QLD Cup & NSW Cup guys into the 17 and 1 or 2 20's and just see how they fare.

To be honest, I'm actually not missing KP, Sika and Norrie at the moment. Hinchy, Lowrie, Quinny and Rory have all stepped up for the last few weeks. You would think KP will reclaim his spot in the side when he's fit to play, but I think Norrie will struggle to get his spot back in the front row from Ryles now and he might spend most of the year in the NSW Cup when he comes back from injury. Sika will come back onto the bench when he's fully recovered.

Doesn't seem to be a captain named. Bellyache must still be pondering on who to give the captaincy too.

i would have liked to see kelly start as i think rory and blair have more utility value. but it could still happen.

i like the move of widdop to fullback and leaving duffman n oniell on the wings

Bobby Blair's selection at 5/8th surprises me. I'm not a fan of his now after his night out on the town after the Titans game in Round 3 (I hope the Storm release him at the end of the year) and I don't know why Bellyache has kept faith in him. I don't care if he is guilty or not for the assault but he shouldn't be out at all hours of the night.

they are allowed to have a life! if this was a rule there would be 5 players left to run out onto the field this weekend.

I reckon kelly will start with rory on the bench, and manu or KP may be a late inclusion .
Disappointed about garbutt not getting in the 17 again. I would of picked him over greenfield imo.
