    They broke Foran in the process though.

      Yeah, losing Foran for an extended time shoots their playoff hopes to hell although I'm a quiet fan of Ata Hingano so maybe it's time to just stick with him.
      One guy not to stick with is Bodene Thompson. Two of the Titans tries were because he didn't cover his man in time. Makes little impact against the line too. Would rather see Bunty Afoa and Jazz Tevaga cover that backrow position (Bunty starting, Jazz off the bench covering hooker/backrow).

        @Sneakdefreak Bodene is slow and has been exposed in defence a lot this season. I'm not a fan and we need someone with a bit of zip in his position.

        The Foran injury looked bad. RTS coming more into the playmaking role was a positive today.

          Queensland get the axe out. Old timers gooooorn.

          Out: O'Neil, oates, Milford, thaiday, guerra, myles and lillyman

          In: slater, holmes, hess, thurston, cooper, wallace and glasby

          NSW are unchanged as expected

              Yeah none of the in's are saying we've got extra muscle up front to stop Fifita and co.

              Will Billy play on the wing or will they move Boyd?

                While i still think NSW look better on paper, this is a much better pack. Younger legs, and more aggression will help a lot. I am interedted to see if Hess can throw himself around at this level, he's been fucking great this year.

                Slater will be fullback, holmes and boyd on the wings, and gagai to centre. Defensively better, and also better on attack.

                NSW in a much closer one

                  Shaun Kenny-Dowell has had his contract terminated by the Roosters. Now a free agent.

                    Manly release Nate Myles effective immediately, and have signed Toafafoa Siply from the Warriors as a replacement.

                    Reports Myles will join the Storm (who do very well out of old players)

                      Myles will do well at Storm. Stink that the Warriors lost Sipley but Manly offered him more money.

                              Surprised the Knights didn't offer him a contract. Would rather have him than Kata right now tbh, Kata has struggled big time this season.

                                    @booboo Yup - he's been released from his contract and joins the French club this week. Fat lot of use he was.

                                      I think I'd have him over Kata as well. I told everyone Kata was shit but he fooled everyone last year because he ran hard.
