Agreed, i'm led to believe Duffie, Kostjasyn and Lowrie will all be fit and you'd think vea quinn and champion may miss.

I think champion wonders if he made the BIGGEST mistake of his career going to the cellar dwellars and leaving a TOP CLASS QUALITY TEAM like STORM.

If hanging out with your cousin and his best mates is all that is important to him...then he probably doesn't even realise that he's made the most stupendous error of judgment in the whole HISTORY of rugby league in Australia.

By the end of September he will probably realise it however...cos barring major injury concerns, he's unlikely to get a gig in the big dance

i want quinny to be in again... he is a good player but is inconsistant with injuries. i dont get why we have a centre on our bench. that is used for rep games mostly but i think some of our forwards are capable of playing in the backs. and troy thompson should get a run now that he is injury free

Can somebody tell me what Quinn has to do to get praise off people on this forum, why should he be dropped for this upcoming game??

I loved seeing Quinn back and I think he will retain his spot this week! He has a level of maturity and a toughness that is good to see.

Bellamy has admitted he wants to give his players some game time before the finals and I think Quinn will get another week. Bellamy will want to have all players having some game time so he has the best in form players to pick from.

Troy Thompson played NSW Cup last week - I think he will get a game this week - the reports seem positive.

I like Champion as a player but in reality he may enjoy a little more field time attention at the Titans. I'm sure they will bounce back.

Quinney's big game experience and maturity will be invaluable in the finals. If he's fit and in his current form he'll get the nod ahead of one of Duffie, O'Neil or Waqa in the GF.

On the injury front, Bellamy said the club's leading tryscorer, winger Matt Duffie - who has missed the last three games with a sternum injury - was expected to be available to play the Dragons on Friday week at AAMI Park.
