Blair is always a possibility to play in the halves but he's playing too well in the centres to move. I think Bellamy will go with Hampton/Widdop/Finch/Hinchy as the spine and keep everyone around them the same.
The difference between Hampton and Blair and Kostjasyn is that Hampton is a legitimate half whereas the other two aren't.

Sallymay maybe Garbutt, Glasby or even Weston are playing tomorrow. Did Weston play NSW Cup? Who else played NSW Cup?

Weston played NSW cup today...donno about Glasby or Garbutt but I wouldn't be surprised actually I'd be happy if Mitch got a go

Hopefully Garbutt. We look good with a big bench.

I see to remember an official release during the week about how good Garbutt and others were playing and demanding a NRL game with their good form (sorry I'm not looking for a link)

I also think that Garbutt and Finch will get game time this week

Finch didn't play NSWCup yesterday. I wonder whether he'll be included in today's lineup to give him a bit of NRL conditioning before next week's game?

I really don't want Finch to come in just for the sake of giving him a game. Our last 2 games imo have been our best two games of the season, I see no reason why it should change.
