Would love to see Munny at 1 v Riff but without Hughes’ organisational ability I don’t think it’s feasible….

Best team available. Maybe with them missing JFH we will go after them with NAS and Tui both starting….

Hopefully even with Meaney back we get Munster to roam around more in attack.

the team is looking much better obviously. I would not expect much action in attack via our right edge without Hughes/Felise combo so Nofo, Olam, Kenny and Munster will be the attackers of choice. I'd much rather keep that 3rd as stable as possible in the lead up to finals, with that in mind i am OK with Munster at 5/8

I think the guys can jag a win here but man, they need to stick with their tackling.

I went through the stats from all the games since that weird loss to Manly and the team is averaging something like 40 odd missed tackles a game.

Before this period it was at about maybe 20-30 per game.

Win this one and it’s an enormous step towards finishing in the top four.

Brandon Smith and Tui Kamikamica will join Melbourne Storm's run-on side as they face off against rivals Penrith at BlueBet Stadium.

Tom Eisenhuth and Josh King will return to the interchange bench alongside Chris Lewis and Tyran Wishart. 

Alec MacDonald will start as 18th man.

Charlie Staines named at fullback for the Panthers in place of Dylan Edwards.

Will Tui actually play 2nd row?

Don’t like our bench. We don’t even have a genuine prop on there.

Against the run of play, brilliant by Grant, Munster, Kenny Bromwich for Olam. How about the kick from Olam for Meaney?

Very good first half. Built on defence. Munster saved a try just before our first try. Then awesome effort by Johns and NAS to stop Kikau from scoring.

What about the two kicks from Olam after breaks?

The defence has been a massive improvement, very impressive. really really happy with that half, just hope they don't switch off at half time

Really impressed so far.
Edge defence is best all season.
Loving NAS in the back row. He's making Kikau look like an amateur.
