I suspect that is very close to what we will see. I don't think Mamo and Kibula will feature and Burrell will probably be playing only with his family and other animals. But perhaps we might see Matty lightning bolt Ashton on the bench ? It would be good to bring him on in the second half when defences are getting tired. Plus he can cover for the wing and FB spots. That would probably mean dropping the other Matty though.
Slight injury in training apparently, nothing bad though from what i've heard. Latu is apparently fit though but not selected. I think if he doesn't play in the next 3 weeks he could be put straight on the back burner for quite awhile. I'm so excited for this 6 again rule, i love watching the Aussies as it's massively sped up the game. And with the type of players we have, Daryl Clark, Austin, Ashton, Philbin, Cooper all Fast players that if we get a few 6 agains going we'll rip team apart. We're nothe biggest squad but we're fit fast and mobile and this could play nicely in to our hands
I suspect: Ratchford, Charnley, King Gelling, Lineham, Austin, Widdop, Hill, Clark, Cooper, Currie, Hughes, Clark. Bench: Philbin, Walker, Akauola, Davis. Miss out: Mamo, Ashton, Kibula, Burrell.
Can't really argue with that selection, I'd too like to find a spot for Ashton but with Ratchford, Austin and Widdop fit its a tough one, especiialy given the change in rules will put the forwards under more pressure.
I would like to see a bench of Ashton, Philbin, Akaula & Walker. New rules and hot day alters the game. Much more exciting than leaving out Ashton or Walker for another forward.

I reckon you'll get to see what you'd like to see.
