Unchanged 17 from the win over the Dragons, with Chambers to fight a shoulder charge at the judiciary and Dayne Weston added to an extended bench.

I wonder if that is confirmed or just speculated? If we name him in the official team does that mean we are intending to contest?

I don't know if I would read that much into it, we rarely name a different team to the one that ran out the week before. Of course they might still contest but they probably just haven't decided on who comes in for Chambers yet. I would think Fonua but they could go a different way with Hunt and Robinson back from injury (I think).

I think Weston will come in for Glasby and Fonua for Chambers (assuming he is suspended).

I saw photos somewhere last night of Kaufusi looking like he was warming up for the game Monday night which is interesting. Wonder how far away he is from getting a crack? Can play prop or back row, I like him more than Weston. Like Moors more than Weston too.
Wouldn't be shocked to see Fonua not come in for Chambers if Will's suspension holds.

Surely Fonua will slot in... Who else? Hunt is untested and only just back from injury.

So that's Canberra and Warriors. Damn, he plays well on Anzac day too. Still think it's BS he misses more than 1.

I notice the NRL have today announced that ALL lifting tackles that place players in dangerous positions will now be suspended regardless of the outcome, what about the ones against us????

In Adelaide, all GEM NRL games (Fridays and Sundays) have been pushed back until after midnight. We can watch the replay on Fox before it airs on FTA. Stormy and I are up sh*t creek.

Scumbags Nein.

Yourhero I can't believe it, back to the dark ages. It's on Fox at 7pm EST I think.
