Also Brandon has been out for two weeks not two months. And it's not like we don't just bring players back immediately after injury cc Finucane, Dale.
It's more to do with your "pathetic" comment. We all know what you think about Hoffman; but just maybe the most winningest (god I hate that Americanism, but it's appropriate here) knows a bit more than we do and has good reasons for resting Smith.

Nup, there is no current, rational argument for selecting Hoffman over a B Smith or a Stimpson. He is cooked. Thanks for the memories - either that or go out with a blast by going ballistic on Burgess' head. Yes, Hoffy, go out with a bang and a lengthy suspension on the sidelines.

Its almost like we both said. We will paly one winger short if you play one winger short.

Late mail: Robert Jennings is out due to a hamstring injury. Suliasi Vuniavlu is out after travelling home to Fiji to attend the funerals of two close friends. Justin Olam moves onto the wing.

No offense to young Jennings but you or I could look good on the back of their forwards/backline. He has scored many easy meat pies this season.

Predictable inclusion for the game tonight. Don't know why we bothered playing silly buggers last night.

You reckon Souths are in complete panic mode now because we decided to trick them by not naming Blair last night?

Yeah agreed. While I can see the benefit of playing funny buggers when it comes to the halves, I don't think there's much if any when it comes to wingers

What an absolute pillock and a plonker - his footy smarts so ordinary at the moment, the bloke is a liability. Not a fat lot going on upstairs if you ask me. This wave of Sowfs attack is down to him. Tish house.

Why the f**k is Blair playing centre and Chambers playing wing?
