Craig named an enormous bench of 9 players. Probably can only partake in the free brekky/footy show if you're named.

It is such a long list I am surprised Sallymay and Mattpoet were not picked , as a reward for their major contributions to this forum !

No doubt in the world we will see the same 17 as last week, personally I would like to see Kaufusi on the bench for Hampton but I guess carrying a utility in a game of this magnitude is vital if any outside backs suffer an injury.

We have a Tohu though - having Hampton on the bench is literally only useful if Cronk goes down. Which he won't, because he's not mortal.

Can they have a real singer to do the national anthem this year? Getting tired of reality tv contestants.
And if they do PLEASE not Jessica Mauboy AGAIN

I was close to playing, pulled a hammy at training though lol.

Agree with this totally. I like the idea of Hampton coming in and being an impact player in the second half, but the reality is that he hasn't really offered much in attack at all. He's put his body on the line in defence and made a few tackles but that's something a bigger body like Kaufusi could do anyway. I'm hoping we won't be needing Hampton at all in the GF. Maybe have him come on after we have the game wrapped up so he can feel like he earned the GF ring!

I just went to print out my boarding pass for tomorrow and it said the ticket was not valid.
Had a massive panic attack.
Got online and started a chat with a Qantas rep who finally resolved my problem after two hours.
The problem was that I booked, then lost my credit card a few days after and I completely forgot about it after cancelling the card.
The system couldn't make payment.
So after I paid up, it was all fine.
Phew!

Dear me

[Mattpoet]

At least you were able to sort it out.

Plenty of purple on the first flight from Melb to Sydney. Heaps of Jetstar flights cancelled - check well in advance if you are on one of those!
