Is it? We seem pretty stacked ahead of Brodie Jones atm. Perhaps even a Shibasaki to the bench play?

Lol

Lol

You heard it here first!!

 

[Old dog]

Most likely Barnett with Watson 13

 

[PhilGould]

Would prefer Johns or even Shibasaki on the bench to Brodie Jones

 

[slotmachine]

All fairly unappealing options to be fair.

Yeah I dont think I see a high ceiling with Brodie Jones, but happy to see how he's improved over the off season.

I've liked what I've seen from Johns, albeit very limited, so I'd be happy for him to get a crack. He would offer some second phase play at least.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Johns has a long way to go as a back rower, as does Shiba

Jones will get the nod for a bench spot imo

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Can Sasagi play back row?

 

[mozza91]

I like Jones he definitely deserves a bench spot. Hopefully he can nail down a permanent position in the 17

 

[PhilGould]

He's a safe depth player but that's about it

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Yep, every team needs them. Cant all be superstar rep players

 

[PhilGould]

Mann (MCL), To'a (shoulder) and Best (ankle) all getting scans. Mann likely facing 4+ weeks out while Best and To'a are doubtful for this weekend. Connor left the ground in a moon boot but considered only precautionary and should be right to play this week.

dom youngs debut might be accelerated by 12 months.

 

[Jono078]

I hope Dom Young gets the chance. He may not be close to a polished product but you can tell there's something about him and I'd like to see what he can do, right now.

I reckon they'll run him in regs for a few more games first.

 

[PhilGould]

Sounds like Best, To'a and Watson are all expecting to play
