Round 1 vs Wests Tigers

[Bartos]

Cheese free to play round 1 with All Star game counting as his suspension. I don't agree with that but whatever.

My team for round 1:
1 Paps / Meaney
2 Jennings
3 Smith
4 Olam
5 Coates
6 Johns / Nikorima / Meaney
7 Hughes
8 Bromwich
9 Wishart
10 Welch
11 Kaufusi
12 Bromwich
13 Cheese

14 Nikorima / Meaney
15 NAS
16 Loiero
17 King

[Lucas]

Reckon Wishart might be the 14 now with King starting at 13, Smith at 9.

[Storm Spirit]

Meaney 1, Wishart 6, Cheese 9, King 13

[Itzbek the Purple]

You can scratch Johns from that line-up. Apparently out injured for 3-4 weeks.

[sallymay]

Cooper out 4-6 weeks …poor guy …just as he was about to get game time

[blazza18]

Big news this week is whether or not Paps is healthy or not. Really annoying that we just don't know anything about his injury and recovery.

And pretty crazy that we're likely to see Nikorima start at 6. Round 2 can't come quick enough for us.

[sallymay]

Kinda disappointed for wishart

[nacho]

Wonder how Warbrick will fit in to the line up through out the season

[Scooter]

Wonder how Warbrick will fit in to the line up through out the season

Wouldn't be surprised if he replaced Jennings on wing in second half of season.

[Mattpoet]

Jesse out as a covid close contact. Replaced in squad by Moeroa

[Itzbek the Purple]

So NAS goes into 8 and Tepai on the bench?

[Mattpoet]

Likely but I guess we won't know until Saturday

[blazza18]

Frank said in the injury report video that Moeroa isn't fit enough to play yet.

[Bartos]

I think McDonald gets a run here. Was pretty good in the trials. Can see them switching cheese to 8 and Wishart to start
