I'm expecting many changes, can see Buhrer, Heighinton coming into the side beside, due to injury Cogger and at least one surprise prop/central forward, expect Esee, our best forward to start with Lillyman our most experienced with Buhrer possibly filling in at centre, Heighinton on bench, with DanS because he is our best option, with Levi and Sione. JSaf and Lamb out injured. Surprise prop, Buhrer , Sione or Ross to miss out.
King to reserves, no place for Yates, sorry. Have no one in reserves to fill centre so options are drop Sione or Ross and replace with Buhrer.

Fifita will have a field day- there’s no way they’ll be able to shut down his offloads. Straight through the middle all game.

Maybe Cory Dennis gets a run this weekend? He seemed to be next in line for the left centre spot at the start of the year when Moga was coming back.

I reckon Ross and Sione will stay.
Cogger will get the half spot. Buhrer in to cover if we need him at half or anywhere else.
Stig in the squad. See how he trains with the firsts. No clue whether he is even close to having some form but worth looking at I think. He was picked at 18th man when he first debuted for us. Went on as a member of the 2011 team that made the 8.

I think the side will be
1 Ponga 2 Sio 3 Sione/Buhrer 4 Ross/Buhrer 5 SKD 6 Watson 7 Cogger 8 Esee 9 Griff
10 Lillyman 11 Barnett 12 Fitz 13 Guerra 14 Levi 15 Heighinton 16 DanS 17 Buhrer/Sione/Yates.
If Buhrer replaces Sione is 17, if replaces Ross then Yates 17

The first game this season for me where I think we have absolutely no chance to win. Not gonna call 50-0 but hopefully we stay competitive and not embarrass ourselves out there.

Do you think they know they are soft and need to do something about it??? Or are they giving it their all and what you see is what you get with them???

If Brown really wants to make a statement about our poor edge defense he should send both Sione and Ross back to NSW Cup this week.
I don’t care who he replace them with.
Enough is enough.

I'm referring to the forwards.

As far as our defence goes, and there are multiple problems with it, the edges have been diabolically bad for years and Brown doesn't seem to be able to fix it.

Brown needs to sack himself.
How can he continue to let Sione make the same defensive error over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again?

I've seen every excuse in the book, mainly that it's our rubbish middle to blame.

I think conceding when the Titans were a man down and we were numbered up on the right has put that to bed.
