Preston is in the Reserves. Assuming he comes in. It's great to have Mann back...

Mann is back

 

[NPC83]

It’s a small forward pack but I reckon there is a good chance of the team changing a fair bit come game day.

 

[NPC83]

NOOO, Preston is out?!

He has been named in the extended squad.

 

[CaptainJackson]

You referring to this clown? Been reading all his posts, he has one of the worst takes.

Yep

Lol

He's absolutely clueless

 

[B-Train]

Mann is back

Yeah I corrected it. Somehow glossed over him at lock. Haha

Mann is right there at 13

 

[JORDZILLA]

Preston in for Hayward late change?

 

[up_theDogs]

Preston in for Hayward late change?

Then switch with salmon

 

[Dawain87]

Bench looking light- don’t know about Taafe and Hayward. Suluka Fifita is due back next month. Hopefully his recovery is on track. Another big body we can add to the pack

 

[Moedogg]

Preston in for Hayward late change?

Yup. Looks the most likely. Taafe has been given the utility role so it's either Bailey or Morrin.

 

[NPC83]

Preston in for Hayward late change?

I’m guessing he goes into the starting side Salmon drops back to the bench and Hayward out of the line up.

 

[underdogsontop2246]

all we need is preston and faamausili to come in.

staines and naden are gonna be fucked.

 

[djdeep4172]

It’s a shame we can’t hold 6 players on bench we would still have guns on standby

 

[underdogsontop2246]

if salmon is playing against fainu we are fucked. fainu isn’t that good but he’s better than salmon for sure.

i expect preston and faamausili to come in.

 

[Raikkonen]

No Preston????

He's 50/50, according to Ciraldo

 

[DinkumDog]

He has been named in the extended squad.

I reckon Preston starts if named.
Ciro keeping options open and not giving the Benji brains trust all the answers. Hayward might step back temporarily but like Xerri his turn will come again.
Great to have depth/options.

 

[underdogsontop2246]

Jacob Preston remains an outside chance to return from a jaw injury (fracture), pending clearance from the medical team. He will be assessed as he progresses through the week

 

[Raikkonen]

If Preston does start, I hope Salmon isn't moved to lock and Mann to the bench

 

[Nate DAWG]

I reckon Presto comes in for young Bailey, Salmon to the bench and Presto on the edge
