Apart feom the long-term injured, Gilbert and JMK, that's the best available team, isn't it?

I wonder what Milf did to piss Wayne off so badly. He's not great but he's the best 5/8 we have. And apparently he played well in the QLD Cup.

Wayne seems to really want Niko in the starting 13. I rate Niko as an interchange utility. Not as a 5/8 barring an injury/suspension crisis.
 
In that case, from the limited amount I have seen, I'd go with Plath at 9, Stone on the bench, Harrison 18th man.
Plath has played the lower grades in the halves. Would need a lot work to turn him into a #9 playing anything more than 40~50min. But with such work he would probably be better than Graham. A bit faster and more creative.
 
Why is the whare dropped? I bought the idea was game time and match fitness.

Sadly Gona miss this one flight takes off at 640 which assuming the French done fuck it up again.

I thought that too. And thought his fitness was improving.

Where are you going?

Dolphins by 20! Wishful thinking or what? SJ and CNK are the only players they are resting. You would think there attack won't be as good but miss much in defence.
  • Warriors by 4
  • First try (for Dolphins): Isaako
  • MoM: Niukore
 
Anyone going to the game today?

Big game for Val. Get inside running for first chance to partner Herbie next year.
 
SOS stinking it up yet again. Hopefully a competent #7 found/developed during the off season.
 
What the hell is going on with the Warriors?
