Meh, does it matter.
We know where theyll put there heads in the scrum

the team hasnt played how it was named in both games. playing mind games so far so the teams cant study us up too much. i would expect duffie to start aswell if fit! *cue the quinn lovers assault now* quinn was safe but duffie and oniel havent gone wrong since they come in last year and offer more to the team out wide.
I'll admit I'm a huge fan of The Mighty Quinn. I'd preferably play him at lock & drop that waste of space Todd Lowrie. We have a nice roster of backs at least to shuffle around now that GI is out of the picture. As much of a fan as I was of GI during his time in Melbourne, I still think we got the better out of that deal...
Interesting to see what Bellamy does with the forwards this w'end. Anyone keen on Woolonough getting a bench spot this w'end?

just depends if manu plays, he and proctor were massive for us last week, so i cant see proctor moved. maybe blair to the backrow, manu out and lowe or bromwich to start up front, id like to see vea get a go on the bench
I thought it would be Duffie and Quinn named on the wings today, but delaying the decision makes me think Bellamy may be thinking of Duffie and O'Neill...the news would definitely be harder to break to Quinny than Justin.
What a good position to be in though when you can anme Duffie on the bench and lose nothing though.

The thing is, O'Neill and Duffie are so good with the high ball. Duffie is one of the best in the comp. Thats definitely Quinn's weakness, plus the occassional misread.
Quinn offers more from dummy half though and has a wealth of experience. If I was picking I'd have Quinn on one wing and Duffie on the other. Champion is a lock-in now.

if quinn gets the spot i would swap him and neilson around tackle 3 or 4 in the defensive line so dane could take the high balls, they didnt do that on the weeknd that i saw and quinn was lucky to get away with one
I think you will find, that is Duffie is fit he will replace O'Neil and not Quinn. Not saying this is my preference but i think thats the way the coaching staff is thinking.storming wrote:the team hasnt played how it was named in both games. playing mind games so far so the teams cant study us up too much. i would expect duffie to start aswell if fit! *cue the quinn lovers assault now* quinn was safe but duffie and oniel havent gone wrong since they come in last year and offer more to the team out wide.
There's a Storm brewing in Melbourne and it's forecast to hit Sydney on October 2
