Should be a tight game. Will need to play at our best, but certainly winnable.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Hopefully Pezet stays in the 17.

Yeah, I'd definitely play him. Certainly makes more sense than Anderson getting a free seat to the game last week.

What am I missing about Grant Anderson ?

A decent Q Cup player. But that seems about it.

There's obviously something I'm not seeing.

Probably better for Pezet to go back and play 80 guaranteed minutes but still annoying to not see him in the 17.

Anderson? He must train well because it's painfully obvious how out of his depth he is when playing first grade.

My tip for this evening is Cheese is taken off with HIA for going too hard.

We will lose. Cheese will score 4 tries. Manu will run 250m. Radley won’t go off with an HIA. Crichton will make a bizarre surprise return. Naaaah just shittn ya. I’ve never got a prediction right…so it means Storm by 12.

We are as listed early in the week, although team lists don't really matter for this one - the most influential person on the field will be f-ing Ashley Klown, with video ref Gerard Sutton acting as insurance for the Rorters...

I recon if you cut Which open he would bleed purple. What a performance he's delivered thus far. All forwards really putting in work.

I feel Katoa is noticeably slower in getting up to play the ball, if he can speed that up that would improve that right edge.

Munster and Hughes combining is a thing of beauty.
