Griffin and Vave playing for Sharks today, looks like McLean and Weston to come in for them for us tomorrow. Not sure what Vave is doing wrong to deserve getting dropped every 2nd week.

Yea I got all giddy about Hampton not being there too :lol: Then realised he's at Easts.

I have nfi who the other player could be. Obviously one of our guys who usually plays in the Q cup. Kenny or Lagi.

Looks like Hampton, Garbutt and Glasby playing for Easts today. Fonua, Setu and K. Bromwich not playing. So some combination of McLean, Fonua, Setu and K. Bromwich playing in NRL tomorrow.

Plan to hold out Storm

Canberra captain Terry Campese has predicted self-doubt could creep in for the out-of-sorts Melbourne Storm if the Raiders hold it out for the opening 20 minutes of their crucial clash.

"If we can match it with them in the first 20, hopefully they start asking themselves a few questions and that's when we can get on top of them.

"That's when young Tony Milford and players like that, like Reecey [Robinson] come into their own and can hopefully create some havoc in the middle."

Canberra could be further boosted by the late inclusions of centre Jack Wighton (groin) and prop Tom Learoyd-Lahrs (foot).

"Close, very close," Furner said when asked about the chances of the pair playing. "Tommy and Jacko are going to do a bit of warm-up."

Pattern in the box again no joy there. What can he do to us this week should of been a penalty try last week. And how many weeks have we had him in the box.

May be Patten has wiped penalty try from his memory bank after Jamie Ainscough's coathanger on Craig Smith in the 1999 GF when he was at the Dragons. He should have paid penalty tries to us two matches in a row.
