What's Max King doing in the reserves? I wonder if he's a genuine possibility.

F..k me. Remember when NAS and Kaufusi were dropping elbows from 3 feet and not getting charged? It was only a few years ago.

There's always been a narrative on TK that halves have to be top tier defenders.

Solomon Haumono preferred the British Love Machine to the Bulldogs back in the day.

Xerri will be the best value-for-money centre in the comp this year. Good one Gus.

True, but if the Titans game is anything to go by we should be ok. The Storm loss should have us hungry, especially with the with chance to go into the bye on a high. The alternative (two weeks to think about a home loss to Newcastle), would be torture.

Surprisingly our front row has held up really well, our backrow is a weapon, and injuries and rotations in the outside backs hasn't bothered us with our great depth. Even Burto is showing glimpses and starting to combine with the outside quality (his kicks are still a lottery). Still need more...

I'd go Hayward at half. Showed he belongs in FG tonight, gives 100%, and hasn't forgotten how to play half. Maybe give Taaffe a go in NSW Cup first, but not straight into FG. Otherwise keep Hayward at 14 till Mann gets back and try Sexton at half. At least he knows how to give early ball.

Yep. Just cause Taaffe was improving doesn't put him close to Tracey.

It's an odd swap but I reckon Turpin will bring more than Knight would have.

I think when Gus labels someone ‘a project’, he means they are gonna take a while. He’s not as impatient as some of us to see Skelton in 1st grade, but still reckons he’ll get there. I just hope it’s with us!

Agree he does a pretty good job of tightening up the middle and doesn’t shirk the hard work.

What's the bet NAS comes in for them. It's gonna take a superhuman effort to get the this one now King's out.

Move it to guess's, or dreams, or better still, nightmares.

We've got a decent enough team this week if they all end up playing. I had a chuckle when I saw Xerri'e sponsor on our website.
