Maybe we're just good (enough) now? But I still hate how we lineup. Jahrome is a bit out.

Low grade hamstring strain for Jahrome Hughes, hopefully back after the bye.

Big game for Wishy to show what he can do, need a blinder from him this is such a big game now.

Wishart playing hopefully tightens up that edge in defence, Hughes was awful last week put Chan and Lisati under a lot of pressure rushing out or being too passive at the wrong times, Wishart should be fresh too he has had some great games for us over the years at 7 need it bad this week.

Maybe start Toelau again and bring Wishart off the bench. Might be a big ask for Wish to play 80 after so long out and not getting a gallop last week.

I have no idea how Chan is expected to mark Koula or Garrick…

Good to see that Grant is starting after last weeks shyt show slow start. If we start like that again this week, it's going to be a very big ask to claw back the points.

How much we can get away with Chan on Koula will probably decide the game. Curious how much thought has gone into Leo going into the centre this week just to match the speed? Our options are pretty bare right now.
