Round 14 - Sharks vs Storm

[yourhero]

Teams to be named this afternoon.

Important game this one... Win and we sit pretty on top, two games clear. Lose and we share first place and in striking distance to the other top 4 teams.

Hopefully we have learnt some lessons from the last two meetings with the Sharks. Our forwards will need to bring their A game and a truckload of aggression, or we risk getting rolled up the middle... again.

Hope the guys are hungry to get one back on the Sharks. Our QLD players should also be wanting to get in there and do a job on them after they were dominated in Origin. Looking for Billy to have another blinder and show the Maroons selectors what they missed out on.

Slade named ahead of Brandon Smith. I will continually not get the fascination the club has with him.

[Inglis#3]

Why're Croft, Scott and Drinkwater only listed on the extended bench for NYC. Can someone shed some light on this oddity for me?

14. Slade Griffin

Really?

[yourhero]

Also, why is Britt named in the NRL team and the Easts team?

[LESStar58]

Jacks offers more than Griffin IMO.

You can be named in both if you're in the reserves

Why are b.smith and stimson not playing at all?

[RobbieRoss]

Why are b.smith and stimson not playing at all?

And Jarome HUGHES as well.

My guess is that they are giving some of the young guys a midseason break. Stimson and Hughes played the full 80 for Falcons last week, and Smith of course had a great senior debut. As with others here, I would have Smith in the seniors ahead of Griffin .

I think we all would. Griffin is a safe selection I guess, but, Brandon Smith has the potential to be a superstar.

[sallymay]

Brendon is doing the captains run....interesting since he wasn't named anywhere

[Mattpoet]

Can he be put into the team if Cam Smith withdraws?

[Storm Spirit]

do you mean Brandon ?
