Just saw Bellyache's press conference.

He said Jahrome is most likely to go to fullback (as we all expect) but there were a few other bumps and bruises that may change things so they will have to make a decision at the Captain's run as to the final 17.

I could be wrong, but I thought he was eluding to Munster. Hopefully there are no issues with Munster and he is right to take his place. If not, Ryley probably goes to 6 and Hughes to 1.

He also sounded confident of Hoffman playing...... I love Hoffy but let's not rush it. Rest him until November.

With Bellamy's love of the Hoff I've been wondering if this is a bit of a Chris and Ben Anderson type of thing...

We all know Hoffy isn't the young player he was, but he's a long way from our worst player this year. If we win the minor prem by 1 game, let's not forget the Adelaide win...

He'd be pretty close to the worst player who has regularly played for us this season. And Tim Glasby has as much to do with not losing that game than Hoffman.

I think resting Munster makes a ton of sense too. No need to push him in a game that wont mean a lot for us.

I heard from a friend that Billy wasn’t at training or with the team when they trained on the GC on Tuesday so this wasn’t just sprung on them

I’m happy for Hoffy to come back into the team. He’s been great for the Storm for a long time and deserves his proper farewell. However I don’t want to see him in the starting team playing 80 minutes again, that spot is Joe Stimson’s now

I always say to Cameron “ You talking to me?”

Everyone should have the long studs on. Should be a greasy surface tonight.

My preference would be:
1. Munster out Jacks in
OR
2. If Munster plays then have Jacks on the bench as utility cover to give either/both of the Cams an early night

Word from a reasonable source is that Munster is likely to drop out, so expect to see Jacks in
