Team for Tigers game

[LESStar58]

With the Big 3 out I see Melbourne starting lining up as follows;

1. O'Neill
2. Duffy
3. Chambers
4. Nielsen
5. Waqa
6. Widdop
7. Kelly/Blair
8. Ryles
9. Kostjaysn
10. Norrie (if fit)
11. Hinchliffe
12. Hoffman (c)
13. Lowrie

Thoughts?

[mattstormy]

1. Duffie
2. Fonua (could make his debut, who knows? I'd rather him than Waqa)
3. Nielsen
4. Chambers
5. O'Neill
6. Widdop
7. Kelly (please pick him Bellyache, he deserves at least one game)
8. Bromwich
9. Hinchcliffe (C) (deserves to be captain)
10. Ryles
11. Lowrie
12. Hoffman
13. Kostjasyn

14. Quinn
15. Garbutt
16. Vave
17. Lowe

I really wanna see Kelly get a chance.

Pretty close to where i'd go but would have Quinny in before Waqa, that said to be fair and honest i'm not sure how Sisa has been traveling in the seconds so if his form warrants a spot i'd be happy having him in with Quinny coming from the bench. With any luck we'll have either Sika or Kev (or both) fit for next week which would be a massive boost. Still a more than capable side of beating the Tigpies i reckon given they'll be missing Farah as well. Obviously Benji is the key and they've been in some good form of late but if the great man can come up with a game plan of minimizing his effectiveness we've got a good show.

1. Duffie
2. Fonua (could make his debut, who knows? I'd rather him than Waqa)
3. Nielsen
4. Chambers
5. O'Neill
6. Widdop
7. Kelly (please pick him Bellyache, he deserves at least one game)
8. Bromwich
9. Hinchcliffe (C) (deserves to be captain)
10. Ryles
11. Lowrie
12. Hoffman
13. Kostjasyn

14. Quinn
15. Garbutt
16. Vave
17. Lowe

No player deserves anything imho.

Places in the team are earnt by consistency of performance, strength of commitment to team ethics and convincing Mr Bellamy that a place in the team is actually warranted and deserved.

As soon as Melbourne Storm start giving charity games to players....well...that is a very slippery slope to be on.

If Kelly has played himself into a starting 13 position...then he'll get it.

[KimmorleyKiller]

Hoffy will be captain.

No doubt.

[Mattpoet]

I'm happy with either Hoffy or Hinchy as captain to be honest

[storm boy !]

fonua/quinn on the wing with Duffie or Oneil at fullback.

Garbutt I'm hoping will finally make his debut! maybe big T or K.Bromwich?

Hmmm. I am sure I heard/read somewhere that Luke Kelly wasn't part of our roster anymore. I know he's playing for Easts Tigers in the Qld Cup, but obv he's contracted to them & not us exclusively now? Id like to see Kostjasyn get the #7 next week & see Gareth take a big step up with the Three Amigos out because of SOO duty. Then again, depends on what the g-o is with Bobby Blair too I guess.

Hope we have some forwards back too. We're goin to need em after watchin the Tigers of late...

[sallymay]

garbutt will get a game

As far as I was aware, Kelly is still with us, but if he's not, another option might be Hampton.
