Since Pay left we've scored 3 tries a game. We've got a chance today but we need to start well. I like the line up, some impact from the start

Nope having Remis on the bench for just that reason is a stupid idea!
We have Jmk on the bench already and Jackson has played in the centres before if they're injuries.
So your reply doesn't make any sense id rather have another forward on the bench or piss Jmk off!
Jackson in the centres ??

And you say I make no sense lol .

Marty Bella would outrun Jacko these days . And JMK ain’t no outside back

Anyone know the local weather/playing surface conditions? I think they’re playing at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

Smith on the bench isn’t that bad of an idea. A few scenarios:

1. Backline player gets injured - Smith straight in.

2. Halves get injured - Averillo to halves, Smith to the back

Katoa can go to lock when JMK comes on.

Also, a bit left field, but maybe Reimis is being turned into a forward.

Finucane being rested. Hopefully that means they aren't taking us seriously and won't get out of second gear. Even then they probably still win...

Long as we dont make any stupid errors and play smart we should do alright.

Spend some time at 13?

I would’ve preferred Renouf but clearly he’s pissed the coach off ?

I think playing an outside back as an edge forward late in the game - last 20 minutes will become a strategy teams will use increasingly.

I'm sorry but what the fuck is the **** thinking running a hooker and a winger on the bench v a power running pack with the likes of NAS, Tino and Vete coming off the back fence. In wet conditions too.

That's why he should be gone at the end of the season.

All of pays crew should be sacked, get rid of the remnants of this ugly losing culture.

Think we are even money today. 5 bucks is a steal.

If we can hold their pack and not get rolled through the middle it will be close .

Plus some luck would be nice ...
