And does Munster come in for Young or Jacks? Perhaps Jacks retains a bench spot if a back is under an injury cloud (otherwise I am not keen on carrying a back on the bench).

I reckon if Munster and Blair are both fit, we should go with

1. Billy Slater
2. Suliasi Vunivalu
3. Cameron Munster
4. Cheyse Blair
5. Josh Addo-Carr
6. Ryley Jacks
7. Cooper Cronk

Play Munster in the centres and 4 forwards. Then if everyone gets through this game, it gets interesting next week when Chambers is available, as to what they do.

Why? One game back at reserve grade level where he was described as "rusty".

I just would've thought he would be somewhere in the 21 since we obviously need a new centre and I don't rate Young there at all.

If Munster is fit I wouldn't mind seeing him at 6 and have Jacks on the bench. Munster has trained at 6 all off-season so it would be good to see what they come up with. Makes it easier for when Chambers gets back and Young drops out of the 17. I understand people not wanting to carry a back on the bench, but I think Jacks defends hard up the middle and gives us the option of another playmaker which would let Munster roam across the park and take advantage of plays he sees in front of him.

Main thing I'd like to see is the team completing their sets and getting to a kick.

Could see Munster a part of the captains run so I'm pretty sure he will play.

Well that is pretty amazing to be honest... 4 weeks recovery from a fractured jaw with two plates inserted. Crazy...

I thought for sure the club were playing games with team selections.
