Milf back but still no Niu.What's going on with him? Was supposedly a chance of coming back in the for the Souths game. Is JMK playing 80min now? Lee and Niko should be fired up for a big game due to the club chasing Wighton so hard.	I lost track of which Hopate is which but did #2 used to play for the Broncos? Looks like a pretty strong team. Wonder why they are so low on the ladder.

It's not a good situation where Jennings doesn't get dropped. Not only did he bomb tries but was hardly a standout apart from the bombed tries.

And who do you suggest should replace him?

 

[Josh]

I hoped Niu would be but no one seems to know WTF is going on with him. He was apparently almost ready for the Souths game. As for the replacment.... Good question. I'd probably give Bostock another chance.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Bostock isn’t up to it in my opinion. Let’s just hope Niu isn’t far off

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

After what’s been happening with Wighton, this has to be a win to us. I am confident going into this week.

It might do the opposite. Really fire them up.

Needs more months in the QLD Cup, IMO. He's only 19.

Yeah being an ex-dragon I have seen him there.

Yes he may come on, here is hoping, but he isnt ready yet.

I'm very confident he'll come on, especially under Benny's supervision, but probably needs the rest of the year in the QLD Cup and then NRL next year. He might turn out to be a much better centre than winger.

I could see him in the backrow with a bit of beef. I remember watching a young Ben Creagh on the wing before moving into the pack.

Might end up in the backrow in 10 years but I think he's a winger of centre for a while yet.

Late mail: Mark Nicholls has been ruled out due to a thumb injury. He underwent surgery earlier this week and is expected to return in Round 12. Meanwhile, Anthony Milford has been cleared to return from a hamstring injury and is expected to be a late addition in the halves with Kodi Nikorima dropping back to the bench.

Kenny Bromwich moves to prop, Kafusi and Lemuelu second rowers, Wallace still on the bench. Not sure who else will come onto the bench. Probably Donoghoe who was 18th man.

Canberra Raiders v Dolphins, scores, stats, Felise Kaufusi’s pledge​

Fresh from a successful return from suspension, Dolphins enforcer Felise Kaufusi has promised to maintain the rage and keep terrorising opposition ball-runners.​

---

Kind of successful. team won but Kafusi didn't have a great game.

Canberra will either be

• Fired up over the Wighton drama.
• Demoralised over the Wighton drama.
• Neither here or there.

So I can see 3 possibilities:

• We lose
• We win
• A draw

You read it here first.

You got on the drink early today?

 

[Nashy]

Hopefully they lose. The meltdown on The Greenhouse would be amazing after losing Wighton.

Plus during the Origin period we are going to draw level with or overtake the Broncos😎

As long as we win today.

Made it out of my pit this week. Weather looks grim.
