Tim will not play 80 minutes, so he should be about to back up.

Chambers should also be right. I will leave it at that

Cronk spent 3 days in Sydney over the weekend so he will not need any more time off

Smith will be tried and might not be able to back up

Slater is a maybe depends on how much they attack him during the game

Chambers presumably will not play . Scott and Young in the centres, or maybe they debut Hughes or Hawkins.

You would think Glasby will be very keen to play. Would replace Britt.

Cronk hadn't played for 2.5 weeks so you think would back up, esoecually with Jacks out.

I would expect Cam to play, with Brandon S on the bench. Shade out.

As for Billy, who was superb, I would not be surprised if he rested. Munster to 1, Croft and Cronk in the halves.

I am going to say Chambers and Slater wont play, so hopefully we look something like this

6. Cameron Munster
2. Suliasi Vunivalu
16. Curtis Scott
4. Young Tonumaipea
5. Josh Addo-Carr
19. Brodie Croft
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Jesse Bromwich
9. Cameron Smith ©
10. Tim Glasby
11. Felise Kaufusi
12. Tohu Harris
13. Dale Finucane

14. Nelson Asofa Solomona
15. Kenny Bromwich
20. Brandon Smith
17. Mark Nicholls

If Slater can play, he obviosuly goes to fullback, Munster to 5/8 and Croft out.

Yeah that's a good team. I'm thinking NAS starts in place of Glasby and Cb will probably play Slade over Brandon.

We are going to struggle big time now this week, but i guess thats what the win last week and the 2 game gap at the top allows us to do.

We need those 3 fresh at the business end of the year. I just hope it doesnt blow up in our faces as top 2 is vital and Broncos next week wont be easy and then Parra with no SOO players. Next 2 weeks could of locked up top 2. Also glad we dont play the weekend after SOO 3.

Means Billy will need to play all H & A after this that he is available for plus 3 finals to get 300 this year

Cam 350th now v manly at home, much better then in canberra.

Boyd Cordner is out for the Roosters. With Smith, Cronk, Slater and Chambers out and also no Ryley Jacks named, my guess is Hughes will be fullback with Munster and Croft in the halves
