Bostock will be marking Mitchell? I just don't follow which centre or which second rower is supposed to be on which side. I think Bostock will do well. I'd like to see and give Herbie more cracks at their other centre.
Saying that, having Plath on for the opening 15min isn't the worst move in theory but it's turned out so bad in practice. The difference in the way they played when JMK came on last week convinced me. Plath shouldn't be a dummy half.
He's just so obstinate. He's absolutely determined to turn Plath into a hooker. He thinks it's going to turn him into a master coach. I think it's going to bring about his sacking.
By "fully ready" you mean "fully fit"? If he wasn't fully fit, he wouldn't be playing.
Dolphins by 30 (Matt, Dogs are just too unfit.)
MOM = Bostock
FTS = Hammer
Shouldn't gloat about the Dogs. They'll win and Matt will be back telling us how unfit the Dolphins are.

Dolphins prop Daniel Saifiti forced into early retirement after succumbing to shoulder injury
Former Blues enforcer Daniel Saifiti has tipped Dolphins duo Max Plath and Kulikefu Finefeuiaki to make their Origin debuts for Queensland as he confirmed his immediate retirement from the NRL.
Saifiti...
Should win this and confirm the Dogs are well and truly in the hunt for a bottom 4 spot. Dragons, Titans, Melbourne, Canterbury and Parramatta. Personally I think the last of those has more improvement than Melbourne and Canterbury.
