I wouldn't mind seeing Max King get a run against his old side.

I was at the members captain run this morning. Max King becomes player 199 tomorrow. Scott and Olam will play the centres. Chambers was not there, he is not playing. From what I saw today Hughes is the 7 and Paps is the 1 and Croft is not playing, Stimson is not playing also

Wow that’s quiet a shakeup but I must say I’m pretty happy with that.
I thought Brodie was poor as was Tui off the bench and Chambers was poor at crucial moments.

Stimson and Chambers have drop out of the 21. Scott is in the centres. King and Grant are still reserves. The announced King will be player 199 tomorrow and gave him his jumper. So he will be on the bench. I would say Paps off the bench to fullback, with the new bench being B. Smith, King, Eisenhuth and Kamikamica. I hope Hughes to 7 is not a permanent thing so close to the finals. We can not beat the Roosters with him a 7.

Hope no Croft in the side is an addition by subtraction for the right side defensively. Although with no Chambers there it might not matter anyway.

Roosters now have a better points for and against. They will now finish Minor Premiers

If they win tonight they will still be second because we have two more points than them. They have a better for against than us at the moment because we have not played yet.

It is called simple maths.

Roosters are red-hot. Heartbreaking witness Cronk and his backline pull off some very familiar plays.

No, they don't.
Storm have 277, Roosters have 254.
We also have won an additional game and have a game in hand (against the Titans).

Roosters going well, but hardly red hot. Dragons were insipid at best.

The Dragons were atrocious. You could tell they were going to be pumped from the first try. They had the numbers in defence and it was a simple backline play by the Cocks. They backed off and let Manu stroll through like he was going for a Sunday afternoon walk. Embarrassing really.

No surprise that you are wrong once again. I don’t think you know how to read the ladder... get an adult to help you.

The Roosters have more points scored at the moment (midway through a round :roll:), but have conceded 71 points more than the Storm.

Brodie Croft and Harry Grant drop out of our squad to face the Titans today. Ryan Papenhuyzen will start at fullback, with Jahrome Hughes to start at halfback. Tom Eisenhuth will start on the interchange bench.

So our confirmed bench is Brandon Smith, Kamikamica, Eisenhuth, and Max King.

Lol Jesse didn't sound too displeased about Croft not playing.
