Hopefully the final team line-up looks like this next Friday night in Brisbane:

1. Slater
2. Koriobete
3. Chambers
4. Mann (should come back into the side)
5. Waqa
6. Roberts
7. Cronk
8. J. Bromwich
9. Smith (C)
10. McLean (needs to start in the front row, not lock)
11. Proctor
12. Hoffman
13. Hinchcliffe

14. Fonua (should be utilised off the bench, would be a far better player)
15. Moors
16. Harris
17. Norrie

I like it, I think Moors is hurt though so may need someone else for him. Also, not to nitpick, but it's Rd 20 this week.

This week will be the 100th game for both Jesse Bromwich and Will Chambers. Well done to them.

Well with the news of Bennett going to the Broncos it might be enough of a distraction to help us out a bit more.

Teams usually lift after their coach gets the sack. Think the Broncos players will do everything they can to send Griffin out on a high.
It's going to be extremely tough to walk out of their with a win I reckon.

Teams also usually lift when a Finals position is on the line.

Storm should have no fear of the Broncos and simply need to play like their season depends on this win (which it does)

I'm assuming that our game will be shown on delay on Friday night? if so, does anyone know of any pubs which have a QLD feed? I remember watching a few games a while back at a pub in South Melbourne, but can't recall the name.

Thanks guys :)

I wouldn't think so. I'd say the Knights v Roosters will be shown at 7.30 in NSW.

I know it shouldn't bother me, but I wonder why Bellamy chose Weston and Young over Garbutt and Mann ?

My big worry for this game is how Roberts, Mahe and Marika handle Brisbane's right side attack.
