Rest as many of our spine and forwards as possible IMO. I'd send them out something like this:
1 Hynes
2 JAC
3 Olam
4 Chambers
5 Suli
6 Walters
7 Croft
8 Tui
9 Grant
10 King
11 Stimson
12 Eisenhuth
13 Brandon

14 Tino
15 Felise/Bromwich/NAS/
16 Schonig
17 Seve/Kata
This would be a poor strategy one game before finals. I think we shoukd rest C. Smith and Munster. Everyone else should play. This would be the team

1. Paps
2. Suli
3. Chambers
4. Olam
5. JAC
6. Croft
7. Hughes
8. J. Brom
9. B. Smith
10. NAS
11. Fus
12. K. Brom
13. Finucane

14. Grant
15. King
16. Tino
17. Eisenhuth/Stimpson

This will be the team we run out with barring any more injuries

QRL website reporting Munster cleared by scans. Great news. Likely to be rested next week.

What would the charge have been anyway? Grade 1 Tackling Too Hard?

Not even sure he made contact with him high at all.

Ok. I'd feel better if it was the NRL.

One of the top 3 worst referring decisions of 2019 to sin bin Will for that.

They were looking to sit someone down to defuse another battle of brookvale and they lima lima lima duck it up big time.
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

Thanks Blazza.

Yep, Cummins is either incompetent or corrupt.

Something has to happen here. Clear incompetence from the officials.

Either Cummins made the call himself - which was clearly wrong. Or he got word from the bunker, which is even worse given that they had the benefit of multiple replays and could see that contact was Chambers chest of Manly player shoulder. Watching the replay you can see and hear Cummins talking to the bunker just before sending Chambers off.

Steve Chiddy and Ben Galea were the video referees.

Cummins said as he sent Chambers to the bin that "contact was high and clear"... :roll:
