Round 18 - Sea Eagles vs Storm
Reckon they might manage NAS's time a bit. Has had an enormous workload recently. I reckon they start Welch and Glasby, with NAS coming off the bench.
Hopefully Felise and Finucane are OK as I'd expect Stimson to miss unfortunately.

The halfback decision is tough!! Hughes was outstanding - Croft brilliant on return (stiff to get stripped for the try - great play by Aitken! but he did a huge job getting back in field) and Jacks had one of his better games. I think he's a running 6 rather than a half.
Jacks' is the best one-on-one defender out of the three, but his defensive decision making last night wasn't crash hot and cost us a couple of tries.
Croft probably gets the nod being a "true" halfback but geez it will be rough leaving Hughes out after what he has shown... See who backs up I guess. He may get another run.

So that means someone else will miss if Croft plays also.

He didn't say that - he said we reward form and effort, and that's why he couldn't leave Hughes out.
Nowhere did he say he won't be left out under any circumstances

With Slater having had the month off with the hamstring, I don't think they'll feel the need to rest him, but definitely a see how he pulls up and we have the benefit of being able to err on the side of caution if he's sore.
Dale must be close to back surely - on last night too, have to love that Welch and NAS were so good up front. Props don't hit their peak until mid 20s normally - so that's a great thought!

Your major issue with him is preventing you from being reasonable or objective. He was very good again, in limited opportunities.Deadpool wrote:Without losing pace? He had no pace to begin with. Cheyse is so overrated on this site it’s starting to become funny
