The Mole spot on as per usual! Frank said he would be back this round or next...

Any word on Stimson? The wrist injury didn't look great the way he was carrying it... Vete may still snag a bench spot.

I don't think that team listing means anything until we see what happens with origin and how players back up. I'm assuming Billy will have a big one and at his age I'd be inclined to rest him rather than get him to back up for the weekend. That would probably mean Hughes to FB and then wither Jacks or Croft to HB.

Very hard to fault the team named... will obviously see how everyone pulls up from tomorrow night

Going to be really hard for someone like Vete to push his way into the team without injuries.

Why is Young still being named. Go away already

That is a great worry. Jesse back early is excellent , but Dale is now 6 weeks or so into a 4 week injury layoff.

Probably because we could be without up to four of our first choice backs?
Bill, Chambers (not my first choice), Fox and Eddie.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

How many minutes into the game before a Manly player tries to start a fight? If it is more than 15, I will be very surprised.

It will be in their first defensive set.

With Munster hurting his finger (haven't heard if broken or not??), you surely don't back him up.

Jacks to 6? Or Croft to 7 allowing Hughes to take over the running 5/8 role?

Yep house on it Slater and Munster don't back up especially with the way the team performed last week. I quite like the idea of Croft and Jacks in the halves.

Does anyone know how bad Munster's finger was?

Is it just a normal dislocation?
