[bornadog]

As expected

[The Pie Man]

As expected

yep - few changes for Brisvegas.

[LostDoggy]

Happy to see Ward keep his spot in the team.

[LostDoggy]

No Bradshaw!
Ward will get 1 or 2 more week at the least.

[Scorlibo]

Drummond, McGrath, Roe and Stiller are pretty big ins.

Good to see Callan getting another game.

[Big Will]

I'd be surprised if Drummond played, my guess would be Copeland to come in late for him.

[craigsahibee]

Tiller is extremely unlucky. I hope he doesn't lose any confidence over being dropped. I know someone had to make way for Murph and whoever that happened to be was going to be unlucky. I hope he brains them at Willy this weekend.

Agreed, hopefully he realises that it is not because he is in bad form, but because there was always going to be a very unlucky player this week. Though it is great that at the moment we have so many players in gra form that nearly everone has to be at their best week in week out if they want to be able to maintain their spot in the side.

I wonder whether Roe will be of much use for them against us?

[Mantis]

Why wouldn't he be?

These blokes know the drill, Rocket would have had a word to him, Tiller knows he is a cusp player atm, he'll be happy to go back to Willi with the knowledge that he is right on the edge of senior selection. They are all professional enough in that they understand that being dropped is not due to a lack of form, hence it doesn't impact on confidence. It's all for the glory of the team.

[hujsh]

Why wouldn't he be?

Just having that second tall defender usually isn't that useful unless he's loose against our forwardline.

But maybe he's more agile than i give him credit for

I'm pretty certain he'll play. He came out and said he was ok to play last week but given his history of soft tissue injuries this year they decided to give him an extra weeks rest.

He is, plays more of a flanker's role rather than KP.

Will pick up someone like Welsh or Hahn.
