What's the inside word on Paps? Will he play? Start or bench?

Munster will likely be out, so who goes to 5/8?

Hughes is in the team gives me confidence we can still win.

I am hoping it’s Paps to 1 and Meaney to 6 if Munster is out.

Maybe Nikorima finally gets a shot? That with Paps off the bench would work for me

Why is Loreiro missing? Been solid all year.

Will be pleasantly surprised if the attack looks on song in this one given everything going on. I doubt he will play but Nikorima would give us an actual half option and someone who can take the pressure off Hughes on 5th tackles.

Happy Paps is back. Hopefully it doesn't take him too long to find his feet again.

Strangest team list ever
Surely it would’ve been better having Tyran instead of Dean on the bench

Would have thought Tyran was a better option. Must mean that they don't expect Pappy to play 80 minutes.

Paps forgetting how to FB by the looks of it... forwards have gone missing yet again... defense is paper thin... Manly would be killing us if they could hold the ball.

Manly are deep inside Hughes and Paps minds. Several rushed passes, missed passes or just not wanting to receive the ball.
