The team is still severely undermanned and after last time, I think the Titans are really going to be fired up. As far as I remember, Kafusi was also suspended for the last game. If we don't win, we'll start to lose touch with the top 8.

They have a stack of Origin players as well. Hopefully they'll be rested.
 
Team Tips: The Dolphins enjoyed a much-needed bye in Round 16 after a 58-18 thrashing at the hands of Manly the week prior. Felise Kaufusi returns after serving his suspension but Jeremy Marshall-King (shoulder) and Brenko Lee (ankle) are unlikely. Ray Stone and Kurt Donoghoe are the options for the No. 9 jersey and Valynce Te Whare will slot into the centres. Halfabck Sean O’Sullivan (pec) is still another week or two away.
Anyone have any idea WTF is going on with JMKs shoulder???

I don't know why I thought we were playing Gold Coast..... Fixed now. I think we're a good chance to stop the rot.

#16 is another whose form has gone off a cliff over the last month. Wayne has evidently noticed.
#14 straight into the team. Good luck to him. Hope he kills it.
Otherwise pretty much what we would expect. The way Wallace has been playing, he's going to be a huge loss.

What happened to Niu? Strange they put McGrady in.

Yeah i see now Niu is playing QCup.

I don't know much about McGrady, but interesting Wayne chose him as a replacement over Bostock and Jennings.

Someone needed to be dropped but didn't Tesi would be the one.
 
Late mail: Queensland centre Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow is expected to back up after Origin. Felise Kaufusi returns from suspension with Connelly Lemuelu shifting to the bench. Coach Wayne Bennett confirmed Sean O’Sullivan will return, but at dummy-half, with Kodi Nikorima and Isaiya Katoa to start in the halves. Jeremy Marshall-King (shoulder) will miss out, with Harrison Graham to come into the side. Graham will wear #18 and come off the bench. Brenko Lee (leg) is out with Valynce Te Whare in the centres. Mid-season signing Josh Kerr comes onto the bench, while Brayden McGrady – who has scored 10 tries in 11 games in reserve grade this year – will debut on the wing in place of Robert Jennings.
Big blow with JMK out! I think SOS would struggle to tackle in the middle at the best of times, let alone just coming back from a lengthy suspension.

JMK might be our most valuable player because Kafusi, Gilbert, Isaako, Hammer all have someone ready to step in to take their place. No one for JMK.
