Isn't Munster the back up GK?

Dragons have also signed Tariq Sims who joins them this week. Will probably be a late inclusion

Dugan also may make an appearance for the Dragons.

I don't who the backup goalkicker is, but I remember Tohu having taken shots in the past so that's why I assumed he would take it on.

Hampton a chance according to the Telegraph's late mail. That would be good news just so Tohu can move back into the forwards. Kenny playing hooker is my only concern.

If Hampton played I think he would be more likely to play hooker with Kenny moving back into the pack. Given Tohu has played halves quite a bit I think this is the best option.

Particularly if Hampton doesn't play is there any chance (depending on second tier cap) we bring in a genuine hooker like Seluini or Butterfield to play?

Yeah, would prefer Hampton to play hooker than in the halves. Can't see Bellyache playing Bromwich at all at hooker personally.

I think he'll spend time there, it's just a question of how much time. Will most likely give a chop out to whomever plays first choice hooker.

Would prefer Hampton at hooker too. I'd like to keep the forward pack in tack as much as possible. Think that's where we can win the game.

Wonder if Joe Stimson being with the team means anything. Has he been 18th man at all this year?

Joe Stimson could be coming in to be our goal kicker. ;-)

Brodie Croft was named in the Under 20s team during the week but is not playing could he be making his NRL debut?

According to the QRL website, Stimson played for the Falcons today.

If Croft plays, I wonder if it's alongside or in place of Green.

All sorts of changes, Green, Munster and Glasby out. Tonumaipea at full back, Griffin in. Croft on debut.
