Round 17 v Dragons
Interesting selections coming up for CB with all the origin guys out. Does Glasby/Welch/someone else??? get called up? signed 3 blokes this week, do any of them play? Do we get Finucane back?
I'm predicting we'll be without Billy, Munster, Felise, Chambers, JAC and Glasby.
1 Young (we've kept him around for a reason and it's obviously this week. Farewell)
2 Suli
3 Blair
4 Scott
5 Olam
6 Hughes
7 Jacks
8 Welch
9 Smith
10 NAS
11 Stimson
12 Hoffman
13 Kenny
14 Brandon
15 P. Kaufusi
16 Finucane
17 Tui (or do we play Vete?)
Or does Cam play in the halves to allow Brandon to play 9 and have more minutes?
Excited for this. I do love watching our stars play but it's also super interesting to see how a depleted lineup goes.

Or
1. Hughes
6. Walters
7. Jacks
Both Drinkwater and Walters played today for Easts . Croft did not.

Playing the Dragons at (arguably) the right time. Need those 2 points with;
1. How close the top 8 is, and
2. With half of the teams getting their bye this week.
If we win, we maintain 3rd place and close the gap on the Dragons (and first place) to 2 competition points.
If we lose, we potentially have the same competition points as the team coming 8th.

Dragons have an unbelievably soft draw... This is their run to the finals;
Rd17 A - Storm (Origin affected) (3rd)
Rd18 H - Tigers (10th)
Rd19 A - Cowboys (15th)
Rd20 A - Roosters (6th)
Rd21 H - Warriors (5th)
Rd22 A - Eels (16th)
Rd23 A - Tigers (10th)
Rd24 H - Bulldogs (14th)
Rd25 A - Knights (12th)

I guess the betting agencies see us as having greater depth. But it is still somewhat surprising, particularly with our injuries up front.
As selfish as it is, I really wish Glasby wasn’t selected for the Maroons.
