Think we'd be better if Smith and Kenny swapped minutes/roles.

the good part is we are interchangeable and go about our business with a minimum of fuss.

And to think Kasiano will add to the bench selection dilemma when he returns
B.Smith, Welch, Glasby, K.Bromwich, Kasiano, Stimson and only four spots.
Then we have Croft, Jacks and Hughes as our other problem.

Yes, but it is only a problem if they are all playing well

Great teams are defined by the players they have to leave out.

I hope you mean Brandon, not Cameron.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

I wonder if it was part of the terms of Vete's mid-season transfer that he not be available to play against the Warriors.

Don't think he'd be in anyway to be honest.

I'd still like to see Hughes in tbh.

I don't believe we can carry Brandon and a back on the bench. Smith gives us the versatility of being able to play lock, hooker, second row basically. If we need to shuffle in the backline, we can, with Cam Smith able to shift to the halves and a shuffle in the back 5.

I love Hughes, and he's going to be a gun when Billy retires and he gets a full time gig, but at the moment, if the decision is to play Croft at half (which I'm ok with, he's still the true halfback we have), then it's hard to fit Hughes in. If Munster is out with his finger again, then for me Hughes comes in at 6.

No way.
True. But I seriously doubt he names Croft at HB and then pulls the jersey from him at the last minute.
That'd be just plain evil!

With all the speculation of who will and won't be in the side surely the expected team do train together and practice their plays all together? They must, everybody has their own unique traits and capabilities and you can't just expect someone to step in and replace somebody else perfectly. Eg, Cameron Smith misses a game for whatever reason, all the forwards know his timing and run accordingly. Put someone else in to hooker and the timing of the runs becomes disjointed.

Sallymay / Cameron, got eyes on training, what's the scoop?
The only scoop I have came from Nelson and Chayse themselves (they came to my local club) I asked Chayse if he was playing he said with everyone back this week it was more likely he would be playing in Goondawindi (Easts Tigers for country week) but he wouldn't know till Friday as the origin guys weren't back yet
Nelson said that the origin guys weren't back at the club till Friday and wouldn't train with the team till Capt run in NZ ahhhhh


This game scares me ...if we play as bad as last week with guys who haven't trained all week I can't see us winning ...

Yes, that is a long break sallymay. I would expect to see some rust for us.

But who knows which Warriors team will turn up

The one we beat by 50 points or the one that smashed it last week?

We need to start with a much better attitude this week. We were grossly out-enthused in the opening half against Mongly.
