I have a problem with O'Neill at fullback. I do not know who to put there, but it should not be him. The dogs will score from the balls he drops.

Him under the high ball is the last thing I'd be worried about with him as fullback. Has pretty safe hands.

Chambers will be in camp but released to play on Sunday unless someone is ruled out by then which is unlikely

He's predominantly in the squad just to get the experience. With Hodges and Tate stating that this may well be their last year in Origin, Mal is planning for next year.

Based on the official team 1 - 17, my four inclusions in my original post of Hampton, Fonua, Moors and Garbutt were correct. Of course it is Craig so there is no guarantee that this is the team that will run out.

As long as Blair stays in the centres, I'll be happy :)

You would hope that a first grade NRL game is rated ahead of a curtain raiser...
