I think it’s a mistake dropping Meaney. As a utility, he should be used at the very least off the bench. I don’t get that non-selection at all. I hope someone drops out for him.

There's no way Meaney doesn't play.....I reckon Ieremia drops out.

Meaney covers 5 different positions ..Wing, FB, Centre, 5/8 and hooker at pinch.

Plus he's a smart player....exactly the sort of bloke you want on the field for 80 minutes

Updated team list from tonight still has him as 19th man.
Don’t do this to me, Storm.

Was probably dropped because he can't kick lol.

I assume Paps will kick once his foot/ankle is right.

We're 1-17 for what feels like the first time in a long time. Hopefully Lewis, Meaney, Warbrick, Pezet, etc all get some QRL under their belts.

MacDonald selection and Meany omission are absolute head scratchers

MacDonald and Loiero both playing above their weight the first 120 mins of footy.

Harry’s gotta learn to slow down if he is to play big minutes. Dude is so frantic and threw some horrid passes late.

It was a very untidy half of footy, both in attack and defence - thankfully the Bunnies have been untidier! It is only Round 2 though, and the first real hit-out for a number of our important players, so hopefully we look a bit better in the second half.

I'm expecting to see leadership from JBrom in this last part of the match but I only see him laying on to tackled men.
