Official named line-up.

Such a massive shame to see Tohu and McLean moved back to the bench. Also Chambers hasn't been named... Just how bad is the cut on the leg??? Possible late inclusion?

I for one am not too concerned with the team that comes out on a Tuesday these days. The amount of times we see the same old line up named & then changes on the weekend - would be countless.

Bellamy obviously plays his cards close to his chest & doesn't want to give anything away in regards to his starting 17.

Chambers & koroibete are probably more of a chance to play then Fonua/tonu - provided will is healthy & MK fits in well.

Point being - the team will change regardless & unfortunately I can't blame Bellamy for the way he approaches it

Bellamy is good for a late inclusion but moving Norrie and Hoffman back into the starting side at the expense of Tohu and McLean, I don't see that changing.

How can Tohu be benched after two MASSIVE weeks in a row...

Just notice the NRL injury list and it says Chambers out until round18, (I know they are not always correct). But that is another two weeks, must be some cut.

To use a cricket analogy;
Let the openers blunt the new ball (Norrie and Hoffman) and then bring on the flashy numbers 3 and 4 (Tohu and Jordan), think Ponting and M Waugh. :-D

Sydney Morning Herald is touting Coops might be a late inclusion for Monday night. Bloody handy if he is.

"Today" are saying COOPS could be a late inclusion to play against dragqueens and play in origin 3. I hope they bring him back only if he is 100% fit and healed. We need him for the business end of the season. Why would Storm risk him playing in origin 3 as it is a dead rubber.

He did act like he severed it.

Bring him off the bench I reckon. There's just no way you can break up our dynamic halves duo atm.

Obviously joking. Coops will obviously replace Ben.
