Time to move on to the next round.

I dont think there are many encouraging signs on the team sheet but here are the tips:

- Melbourne were dealt a fresh injury blow in Round 3 with prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona injuring his knee. The hulking 115kg front rower is set to be sidelined for two months.
- Alec MacDonald could take Nelson's spot
- Tariq Sims returning from a calf injury via the bench
- Tom Eisenhuth is due to return from a back injury and could shift Kane Bradley off the pine.
- Xavier Coates is likely to be deemed fit after an AC joint blow in Round 11, with Grant Anderson dropping out of the team.

This'll be stiff to Jennings but that 2, 3, 4 and 5 line up is wonderful to see (if all are fully fit).

We all of a sudden dont look so light on with troops now do we.

I think we're all going to have to get used to the Queensland cup sides not being accurate until an hour before game time based on last year and last week

Don't stress.
Craig probably wants to limit the number of debs - especially with a few new and nearly new faces in the side.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Really can't understand why Pene was 18th man last week and not straight in this week

Pretty solid team considering the amount of injuries we have. Good to see Tariq in the lineup. Not as confident as I'd usually be after what happened last week lol but we *should* get the job done. We love playing in QLD & usually get up there.

Not sure what Jordan Grant did to be picked ahead of him. His aggression would be a nice addition to the team.
