Just realised nobody has started this thread yet.

How we will run out is probably anybody's guess but, here is what I'm thinking:

1.Munster
2.Tonumaipeia (apparently in doubt though so maybe 19.Vunivalu to debut?)
18.Kennar
4.Hampton/12.Harris
5.Koroibete
6.Green
7.Cronk
8.J.Bromwich
9.Smith
10.McLean
11.Proctor
12.Harris/14.K.Bromwich
13.Finucane
14.K.Bromwich/4.Hampton
15.Glasby
16.Kaufusi
17.Asofa-Solomona

The other option is that Cheyse Blair plays despite them saying that he won't be right for first grade for a few weeks.

Do you know something or is it a hunch or a wish?

Rumor has it his parents have flown in from Fiji to watch the game.

That sounds very promising then. I wonder if that means Young T is out or whether Suli and Kennar are our centres.

Not a surprise, but Richie Kennar not playing for the Falcons today - only Storm player is Joe Stimson.

Talk about scrapping the bottom of the barrel with this backline

Wow we are looking thin in the outside backs, I don't mind Suli/Kennar/Hampton plugging a gap but to have all 3 in the run on side at the same time? Hmmmm this may backfire, should have played it safe used Tohu and Kenny in the centres and played Kennar on the wing. Play for a low scoring defensive grind, don't want to get in a shootout with the Tigers they will win.

We could have our top team, including Slater and still lose to Tigers at Leichardt. All their players will run harder than usual. We need to start well and keep the crowd out of it.
