If it is Brandon then Aaron Booth to debut.

Booth's jersey has number 208 and Pene has 207 which indicates that Booth is on the bench. So Brandon still likely to be playing, unless Hynes or Lewis is starting as hooker.

Totally agree, and so it has come to pass. For a start, Roosters would have had an extra day’s break, plus Eels played most of their best team tonight ( few were rested ) , plus Eels have been off their game for weeks , and were poor tonight.

Do we only play two forwards on the bench? Otherwise it must be Hynes being dropped?

Not necessarily, could be one of the backs out and Hynes into the backline too.

Surely the Storm player numbers on the jerseys are wrong then? Unless Pene is starting too.

Probably not in the grand scheme of things. But I am a numbers man so I like the numbers to be correct.
