We should be able to give one of Harry or Munster the week off with Garlick and Wishart named in the squad. I doubt we will but think it would be better in the long run to rest them when we can.

At least Welch came through unscathed!

There was some footage shared of the boys from training this week and it looked like Papi was in and around the main group with no protective bib on, hard to tell what type of work he was doing but hopefully he is edging closer to a return!

He said on a live card break he was aiming for RD 20 then started talking about vs Berleigh bears …both our ressies have played the bears and aren’t playing them again so it kinda confused me

Potentially playing a lower grade to escape the media circus?

I remember St Kilda did that with Koscitzke back in the day.

I’ll keep my eye on the Berlima bulldogs …Cole played a few games for them this year they are ressies to Brisbane tigers

Tariq Sims, Tom Eisenhuth and Marion Seve drop out of the squad.

I was thinking the same. Surely on bench instead of Anderson. At least Bradley can play second row too.

Sims and Eisenhuth not making the match day squad should be a good things because it means the squad depth is in a good place but then you look at the bench and you just kinda shrug your shoulders.

So we're 1-18 with Tui and NAS swapping. Playing with 16 again since Bellamy has this weird recent obsession with getting Grant Anderson's butt imprint on every bench in the NRL

Not a good start who kicked on the opening play on the 3rd tackle? Another pointless brain fart move!

Been on the back foot since Harry kicked early in the first set. Our goal line defence is shocking at times.
