Battle of the underwhelming 2017 Grand Finalists...

Will get Smith and Kasiano back. Should get Jesse back also. Huge inclusions. Will see either Young T or Justin Olam get a shot in the left centre spot.

I wonder when Suli gets back from his off-season holidays?

We need Jesse back more then anything I think (obviously not including Smith), our forward pack has been underperforming lately.

I wonder what Storm team is gunna show up. Fun fact, only once when we’ve won have we not scored more then 30 points. And that’s was 28 points. And only once when we’ve lost have we scored more then 10 points, that was only 14

I would seriously consider dropping Suli. I've been a defender of his on this site in the past but his efforts on Saturday were woeful. Some time in reserve grade may help him get the appreciation for the game back.

Hughes has GOT to play somehow somewhere in this team

If Suli is dropped (but I don't think it will happen), who goes onto his wing. Young with Olam in the centre?

Suli is missing Cronk the most I think. He’s not getting the opportunities like he was in years past. Jacks isn’t creating enough in my opinion and the last few weeks it’s been really noticeable.

Suli has not been good for awhile. Wouldn't hurt to just chuck Hughes on the wing.

Spot on Deadpool

How many times this season have we got the ball to Suli, one on one with the try line beckoning, or kicked it to him in the corner?

We just haven't utilised his great skill set very well.

Suli feeds off the creating of others. No creation then no Suli brilliance.

instead he is acting and playing like an extra forward in defence.

Just bringing the ball back.

Cameroon.....That may be the most sensible thing you've said yet on The Bai Stand.

I wouldn't mind seeing Cheyse Blair back if he's available.

Agreed he's not getting as many opportunities so far this year but in saying that, several of the ones he has had he's just made some dumb errors like dropping the ball cold. I love Suli but a spell in the magoos would do him the world of good I reckon just to0 get his confidence back ion nothing else which to me it looks like he's lacking.

Quiet patches happen to every single player at one time or another and Suli is not different. It wouldn't hurt Hom at all and I've no doubt he'll come back better than ever. Would love nothing more than for him to get a hat trick against the Cows and prove me wrong though

I don't think missing Cronk has caused Suli's 17 errors this year - equal 4th highest in the league.

Or his glaring defensive lapses which don’t show in the Errors stats column.

Letting Uate get on his outside whilst the Sea Eagles were shorthanded, was unforgivable.

While we are missing a Cronk the halfback a bit. I think where we are missing him the most is his organization, instructions and calming down of the players. I think Suli in missing that part of Cronk's game. Also, a lot of other players are missing that too.
