'10 | R15 | Sun | Sharks 4-22 Dragons | Toyota

[Ulysseus]

Apparently Saints are resting all but 1-2 of their Origin players for tomorrow's match.
It's sounding like, Boyd, Weyman & Creagh are definitely being rested. Cooper is obviously out injured anyway.
Not sure about Morris, Costigan or Beau.

Smart choice, win or lose this game because of it, the last thing Bennett needs is for them to be overly fatigued.

Lovely day in Sydney today. Not overly warm, but far from being cold. Not a cloud in the sky, a light wind blowing.

I'm very nervous about this match as a Dragons fan.

Beautiful sunny day.

I really wish I read this thread before putting my punts on, now I have no confidence in the Dragons winning if they are resting everyone.

Nobody knows for certain who is playing yet.

There was talk Henry and Fai Fai Loa would both play 1st grade today, but are both playing in the 20's.
I think Weyman & Creagh will be rested, have a feeling the rest will play, maybe Boyd rested also. Think with Fai Fai Loa playing in the 20's that Morris is definitely playing in 1sts.

You realise once the team is named after 1pm they legally can't change it without a valid injury reason?

Yeah mate, I know they aren't supposed to, but I've seen it done.
I'm just wondering if Fox had the correct team sheet, 2GB had Marketo or Smith starting.

 

[morri (cWo)]

plenty of changes. I still stick by sharks 13 points.

The changes were the same on both mediums, Hadley's been quite clear that Marketo was onto the bench with Merrin and Thorby to start.

Dragons wearing red v btw

 

[dragonfire]

big ten metres today

 

[dragonfire]

anyone else find the 'dont play at the ball luke' way too obvious, especially when amazingly the ball just pops out. If it is illegal play just penalise them ffs

 

[Meth]

This fullback for the Sharks Gardner is a good young player to watch

sharks finding the dragons defense different to the roosters

 

[Rodent]

What a cheap shot on Soward that was.
