    @taniwharugby nope, Guy is fit.

    Really don't understand the continual changes in midfield. Nor the benching of Waa and Macilai

    I guess Harris was stating fact when he said we wouldnt be relying on the super players...

    Yeah the selections are baffling, I dont think our mid-field has been the same on consecutive weeks yet, and yet it is the weakest part of our defensive structure.

    We are past the worst of the season, we have 2 games left, with a super duper slim shot at a top 4 spot, 7 and 8 day break, you play your 1st 15...I guess that makes the assumption he knows what it is, cos it would not appear he does?

    But hey, as above, I hope I'll be eating humble pie cos the coaches know better than me, although TBF last weeks win seemed less on any kind of structure they may have been coached and a bit of good old instinct!

    @Gunner Tua was benched for off field actions so his reinstatement should be expected.

    @kev thanks for that. You'd think it wouldn't be too hard for the coach to give simple explanations like that when the team is named. But then what would we speculate or bitch about.....

    That's right...but tbf Dunn went ok last week, so start him again to further ensure Tua knows you can't fuck about...so again, another change is still another change at this stage.

    Reminds me of that season under Ferris where I don't think we started the same hooker on consecutive weeks for no reason other than we had 2 quality hookers so let's share the starting duties.

    TAB has no idea about this game...both paying $1.90 for the win.

    All match result bets, inc margins are the same, so I suspect a wee bit of laziness as well as no idea, as while I think they are a better shot to win, I think we are a better shot for a big margin if either team were to win big.

    Both the first 2 line outs were not straight and let go....

    We need to get the ball, but behind on the scoreboard already

    Not sure I agree turning down a 3 but we get over eventually in the corner to Kite.

    Some good continuity there too.

    Surely that quick throw was taken in front of where it went out?

    @taniwharugby we disagree about Dunn - he was very average last week.

    Very....yes McLeod getting bullied by Cowan.

    Looking like it could be a high scoring game but we need to keep in it
