Hopefully MacDonald is in the 17, he gives real punch off the bench

Just happy Sims didn't make it back into the side.

This one’s got a real semi final feel to it, huge game in the context of our season, 5-8 are all snapping at our heels, I think top 4 is all on today, we win and it’s as good as ours we lose and we will have to do it the hard way, boys have to be up for this one back at AAMI against the Raiders who have been our bogey side the last few years, I can see us really getting up for this though, I think we will win and win well ⚡️

Reimis in for Warbrick who has a neck issue

Garlick starting for Grant which I can only assume is a tactical switch to keep Harry a bit fresh, Katoa also in for Eisenhuth.

Welch's ability has gone down and his niggle has gone up. Not the best recipe for us.

And we can't buy a penalty from a ref who is giving them away for free to Canberra.

Looked much better since Harry & NAS have been injected.

He's got that fractured rib and bad cut on his knee. He's battling through it but needs help

Not sure how you can get away with tripping someone in the act of scoring a try

That was a pretty obvious trip too, deserved a sin bin at least.

Nice last few minutes by the boys, definitely on top now, that right edge is humming now I actually like Kotoa Seve Smith on one edge, looks solid.

Young T having an all time stinker on the other side though, poor guy can’t get anything right today.

Katoa is absolutely on fire 🔥

We've really missed Katoa playing and going the full 80 minutes. Could use someone like him on the left edge too.
