There is another story in the Daily Telegraph about Storm and wrestling. I can not read it online as it is one of those "pay for it" stories. But I bet it says we need to penalized to get it out of the game. I do not need a crystal ball to see what is going to happen on Monday night. I wonder if I bet on how many times Warren Smith mentions both Storm's wrestling and Alex McKinnon

This is a danger game as I think we can beat Cowboys and Broncos. Very confident for this game but usually the start shows the type of mood we're in.
Expecting Koroibete to get a fair bit of action up against a shaky Gagai & Uate.

Welch playing Q cup so he's definitely out. Would imagine both Nelson and McLean will come in.

So I'm guessing we'll be:

1.Munster
2.Koroibete
3.Chambers
4.Mann
5.Duffie
6.Green
7.Cronk
8.J.Bromwich
9.Smith
10.Glasby
11.Proctor
12.Harris
14.Hinchcliffe
15.K.Bromwich
16.Kaufusi
18.Asofa-Solomona
19.McLean

I could also see McLean starting at either prop or lock (he did this a bit in 2013) or K.Bromwich at lock =, Kaufusi at prop or Glasby at lock. I've picked my most likely starting 17 though.

Newcastle are on the bottom of the ladder after Titans got a win this afternoon.

Based on our track record with bottom of the table teams I will be putting $50 on Newy to win.

Save you're money Nacho or better still whack it on us at the shorter odds and make a small profit. A small profit plus your keeping your original $50 is much better than losing the lot. After the Rabbits result we're in the box seat to grab that 4th spot for the moment at least which is a massive incentive and think we'll win well tomorrow night, or at the very least win.

Given we also have the Cows next week at home which is also a must win but very winnable game, especially with Morgan out and possibly Tamou i think the boys will be well and truly fired up and especially if we can take last weeks form into the finals. It's a simple equation, with our +/- much superior to our opponents the bottom line if we keep on winning the 4th spot is ours and i'm sure that's not lost on the boys.

Our bench just got a whole lot more 'beasty' with NAS and McLean, wow hope we can keep them fit through the whole match given the trend of the round so far

First penalty - As expected. The tackle was barely made and the refs were itching to blow a penalty for slowing down. What was it? Second tackle?

Eh, to be fair, we got a reasonably soft penalty also. Nice try Munster.

Horrible attempt by Cronk on Sims... Strolled passed him to score.
