Pretty much curtains for Johns then if he's been dropped with both Hughes and Paps out. Time to have a look at Nikorima then.

Hopefully we have some different players playing this week.
I like that Bellamy extends a big middle finger over teamlist Tuesday, why it's even a requirement is beyond me. The opposition doesn't need to know who's playing where, and really, neither do the fans ....sure its nice knowing, but would you be any less of a fan if you didn't know?
The only real beneficiaries are the numerous betting agencies, because knowing the ins and outs effects their odds, and really unless you work for them, who cares if they lose out.
It’s a big issues because the NRL takes in big money from bookies (30-40M per year) and betting occurs in the days up to the match. So having a fair idea of the team is important for it.

Just seen the team in NRL.com

Surely the run on sees Meaney FB and Wishart in the halves. Hopefully with Lewis centre over Seve too. Maybe Nilorima will get a run

Looking at the bench it’s a team to do it tough up the middle. Occasional flair from Munny when required.

Cows danger is Drinkwater and Dearden running games and the kick chase threat of Nanai and Feldt.

Based on Brandon's reliability in big games or games where he's needed to step up, I'm guessing a HIA by the 17th minute and his night will be done.

With all these Injury’s in the backs and forwards and howarth still can’t get a run? A guy that just resigned on a big contract can’t even get a run with all these injury’s?

Is he injured or something?

Grant missed 9 tackles last week in the middle. How will he go tonight on the edge?

A bit odd and a lot of pressure on Munster’s kicking game.

One of the softest tries we have conceded in 10 years.

Seve misses the tackle and gets in Grant’s way lol. His penalty was stupid too.
