Rd 15 vs Parramatta

[Mattpoet]

How do we think we're likely to run out?

I'm thinking:

1.Slater/Mann
2.Waqa
3.Chambers
4.Mann/Fonua
5.Tonumaipeia
6.Hampton
7.Roberts
8.J.Bromwich
9.Smith/Hinchcliffe
10.Norrie
11.Proctor
12.Hoffman/Harris
13.Hinchcliffe/Harris/K.Bromwich
14.K.Bromwich
15.Harris
16.McLean
17.Glasby/Moors

[steaming stormer]

I'd be disappointed if we don't start Tohu - I think that every week but especially after last night's game

[Inglis#3]

Harris has to start. No question about that. He should be the one back-rower playing 80 minutes.

1. Kurt Mann
2. Sisa Waqa
3. Will Chambers
4. Mahe Fonua
5. Young Tonumaipeia
6. Ben Hampton
7. Benjamin Roberts
8. Jesse Bromwich
9. Cameron Smith
10. Bryan Norrie
11. Kevin Proctor
12. Tohu Harris
13. Ryan Hinchcliffe

14. Kenny Bromwich
15. Junior Moors
16. Jordan McLean
17. Tim Glasby

Personally I would be giving Hoffman a rest this week and no way would I even ponder the thought of having Slater play two games.

[stormy]

Yep I hope they give Billy a weeks rest.

[yourhero]

Yep I hope they give Billy a weeks rest.

Assuming he would otherwise be fit to play... I really hope he gets through Origin without sustaining further damage.

[glennb]

I a bit cross about the Billy situation. When asked last week if he was trying to get over the injury quickly to help Queensland or Storm he sort of said Origin is the plan. Melbourne Storm pay his wage, he could sit out origin and get the shoulder really good and play for us on Sunday. I know the players love origin, but I pay my membership to see my team play with the best players they have on the field.

[blazza18]

I'm good with the same 17 who played last night playing again this week. I guess Cam will want to play, so move Hinchy to the bench and drop Romelo.

[sallymay]

I really like Romalo but he is giving me the shits...two games played and he get 10 in the bin and injured

I say Kurt to fullback and billy to 14 give him a rest for a bit...he wouldn't like that though

+1

[blazza18]

Mann named on an extended bench ? Hmmm

[Mattpoet]

I suspect he is on a 2nd tier contract so can only play if billy doesn't

[blazza18]

Maybe, but he's played with Slater before.

[bula]

I thought Junior Moors played well. Hit hard in defense and had good Impact running the ball. Put on some bulk too by the looks of It.
Mann is a star and tbh I don't mind Hampton. I think he's getting better and given time he'll come good. It's unfair to compare him to Widdop.
If Ben Roberts could polish up his play making and not come up with the usual blunder, he'd be a top half.

[Mattpoet]

Maybe, but he's played with Slater before.

yes, but, we've reached the limit now so it suddenly matters where it didn't a month ago.

[blazza18]

Ah fair enough.
