Should be a good game guys..it will be hard to win up there but if we can grind out a win like in Canberra it will be great.

Manu looks to be out with a broken ankle but we get Brett White back!!!

I think the team will be as follows

1> Slater
2> Turner
3> Chambers
4> Falou
5> Quinn
6> Iglis
7> Cronk
8> Lima
9> Smith
10> White
11> Crocker
12> Hoffman
13> Johnson

14> Geyer
15> Kaufusi
16> Blair
17> J. Smith
18>Manau or Tolman

Will be good to get White and Lima back,

This game will not be easy, Cowgirls are finding their feet again,

Win this one and we will be well set up though.
Go the Allblacks, Richmond , and the mighty Storm

A few more games of the bench & he'll make a punishing impact player.His hiccup at the play the ball Monday night didn't throw him.

Tolman did look good, didnt seem nervous or scared on his debut...which is a great sign.

Whilst he did look good one area of concern for me was each time he played the ball. I was not at all surpried that he got done for that play the ball as he was barely getting up before playing it each time. If he doesn't improve in that department then I can see the same thing happening again (and again). But otherwise he was alright.

I have seen worse play the ball efforts let go though.  it was sloppy, but I thought he was really good on debut.  Loved his workrate

I've seen him play once in the toyota cup and didn't think much of him, thought he was too small and didn't make any impression when hitting the line.
He held his own though against Canberra. We should give him another run and Tagataese azwell.
Everyone is playing well when given a chance.

Was impressed with  his work ethic,

Looked good for his age,

But not in the top 17 players with all being fit,  not at this stage anyway.

Hope Whitey doesn't get unfair attention from 'the ref'  :x Thurston needs to be terrorised & tenderised ;D
Sam Tag & AK off the bench with hopefully more hunger & passion  :?

Such as the Raiders player that was facing the touchline whilst playing the ball?
