Massive blow with Gagai out. Been our best. Speaking of best, Best hasn't been the best. Need to see a lot more from him. If he's not getting it laid on a silver platter it seems he's just happy to be a battering ram. Still not sold on him personally.

Hate to admit but I'm fully expecting a hiding, especially if we get a couple classic low energy games from the Safs.

Missing a few, Thompson, Gagai, Marzhew which means a likely loss.
I expect a strong effort from all that will please most but still result in a close loss

Yeah this is all I want too. I’m already resigned to a loss but just want to see a good commitment. I think they will. I don’t think attitude has been a problem this season, just not clicking in attack.

The only reason I can see why Jones is on the bench is because they see him as a middle option due to Leo being out and DSaf being in the starting side. But it’s definitely concerning that Jones is literally first cab off the rank when literally one of our front rowers isn’t available…

Think it’s more Hetherington and Croker for middle and Jones covers 11 & 12. I would prefer to see Croker playing wider with Jones in middle, think it’s his better position.
Happy Jones is getting a run, think we have four vying for 18 and they will all alternate between 18 and Cup allowing for no injuries/suspensions

O’Brien selecting Jones is a strange one. But he must not be happy with the contributions of Cartwright etc. Again it shows the Melbourne attitude he has been mentored in. No one is safe. I like it. It is risky but it is a line in the sand.

Not confident but you never know. Warriors found a way to lose their first 2 games maybe they’ll do it again.

It's hard to see how we don't get towelled up today. I just hope we keep our fists up for the full 80.

Hastings and Pryce out there for NSW Cup. Got the free 14 day trial of NSWRL TV so I can watch it.

Edit: Pryce scored 2 minutes in.

Down 10 - 6 at half time. Not really a lot happening in all honesty.
