Well Ty Phillips is out indefinitely with a leg injury (meaning Reuben Rennie will probably slot back in to the starting side in Intrust). Sam Kasiano is also out indefinitely and I reckon Fualalo may replace him.
We have Lloyd Perrett (who has a four year contract with the club, probably our 19th man ) in limbo and he has played little to no footy this year. His match fitness would be horrendous. Whatever happens, our bench is looking pretty non threatening to say the least; but for the wonderful rotation we have of those players by our coach perhaps we just need three and give them all a few more minutes, lol.
At least the boys from Origin will have a turnaround time of 5 days a bit more manageable than say if we played on Friday/ Saturday. Fualalo and Mariner will be better for the run last week but I can't help thinking that our problem of the fades will continue.
I have my fingers crossed that the boys can lift and win this game but it will be a mighty effort to best the Sharks who have been on fire of late and sit 6 points above us on the premiership table.
