Given NAS is also out, the bench is going to be two different from the Manly game.

14. Hinchy
15. Glasby
16. K Bromwich
17. TLL/Weston

Outside TLL/Weston, we only really have Welch or Britt. at a strech, Hunt.

No K Brom. He has been named for the Falcons.

Very excited to have Billy back but a part of me is really disappointed that we won't see Munster for a few weeks.

Very surprised Kenny wasn't named. I'm sure Bellamy said a few weeks ago, he was close to playing a few times already. Throw Munster on the wing to see how he goes.

I think "Eddie" Munster would go well on the wing. I think we need to find him a place in the side for every game

Sunshine Coast Falcons have named an updated team for their match today. The team doesn't include Hymel Hunt or Kenny Bromwich. I wonder if that means one or both of them may be playing v Eels today.

Sallymay Joe Stimson was also not included in updated team. BTW Sallymay it was great to meet you yesterday.

Weston is a liability and needs to go.
Two grubby penalties got the eels out of their half and well into attack. Other than that he's done not much in attack.

And it's obvious that the eels policing is "hurt Slater". Coathangered without the ball, knees in the ribs, facials
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Billy looking good on his return. Hopefully he wasn't hurt when he dived for Smith's grubber. Proctor having his best game of year. Jesse being Jesse... very good. Weston being Weston... giving away penalties.

Mann and MK being found out a bit in defence.

A pretty average 1st half, with Billy Slater an exception, has been absolutely phenomenal and involved in everything!! Green Mann & Korobiete are all struggling defensively on that left edge and need to wake up, Green has also made afew blunders with the ball in hand too, proberbly his worst game in storm colours. Been impressed with Bromwich & Proctor and Mahe has been pretty decent marking Radradra. I think we can win this if we just settle down and play smarter, but Parra are up for it.

Also Weston can just go now, absolute plodder and I dont get what CB sees in him.

I think he has played his last game. Surely.

We dominated the half and the only reason they got some good field position, is due to a few soft penalties and a few absolutely stupid ones. The latter is Weston's speciality.
