Yep.

Don't move Paps...he's had enough disruption.

Wishart can play 7.

Sua at 14 good move

Yep, or at the worst case, repeat the Canberra game from a few years back and play Lewis as a running 5/8

That would've been effective against the monsters in green, the Knights? (It might help alleviate our lack of size though)

I'm not in love with the idea of Wishart at 7 and anyone who know's me will know I'm no lover of Munster's work. What's the answer? Wait until game day! ;D

Bellamy (these days) rarely shuffles the backline to cover injury/suspension. I expect it will be Wishart in for Hughes and Sua in at 14.

Wishart has surprisingly done a decent job there previously.

There's a pretty decent footy player in Wishart when he's not asked to play on the wing or fullback.

He's actually a half, he keeps being asked to cover everywhere else, watch his game in the finals last year and you'll see, he's a decent halfback

Sua isn’t even in the 22 at all no wonder he only played half the game

Apparently he did his ankle

Ffs that’s just what we need

We are cursed 🤦‍♀️

What a bummer. Gotta assume that bench will be different come Sunday. Well hopefully anyway.

Our team of players not in the starting 13 gets stronger every week 😂

1. Sua Fa’alogo
2. Grant Anderson
3. Marion Seve
4. Young Tonumaipea
5. Dean Ieremia
6. Cameron Munster
7. Jahrome Hughes
8. Nelson Asofa-Solomona
9. Bronson Garlick
10. Christian Welch
11. Jack Howarth
12. Kane Bradley
13. Shawn Blore

We literally have a NRL calibre starting 13 not running on this weekend, they could legitimately beat the Knights, seriously if we start the season with 3 wins and then the bye it will be some kind of miracle!

Joe Chan out with a hand infection. Shawn Blore named in his spot in the second row.

Marion Seve and Jack Howarth also drop out of the squad.
