Next weeks team? : Sat Feb 21, 2009 1:05 am  

what do you think we will line up like against Manly?
Personally, i think now, were going to get hammered by manly, but will give it a good show now. Teamwise however, i would have to say

Donald, Hall, Senior, Ablett, Watkins, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Diskin, Peacock, Lauitiiti, Jamie Jones Buchanan, Sinfield.

Ive found it hard to think who will actually be on the subs bench, because we will need a strong bench,

Buderus, Gibson, Allan and Burgess are the main contenders for the bench i would say, without Buderus, is the obvious McShane, and then thers Broughton who could be outsider, with Simon Worrell too.

Does it really matter if we do?

In the context of the season as a whole, it's meaningless.

Yes it does it's a match against the aussie champions with a trophy at stake.

They've come over early,arranged a warm up fixture and brought their best available squad i think that shows they aren't here for a holiday.

But in the same breath mentioned it as a pre season warm up.

You seem to stress at the slightest thing? The Manly game is over a week away. Players have more than enough time to recover.

I think Smith is more of a doubt than Bailey.

My concern next week is full back. Scotty is not a full back, as much as he did ok last night. Think I heard BJB was back in training, but it is probably too soon for him to come back, as I suspect it will be for Webb, regardless of what has been said on here.
Smith with pain killing injections??? Who knows.

One thing I have noticed is that Bluey is keeping injury news very close to his chest this year.
