Storm should do it comfortably but it would be good for the game if the Eels push them all the way to the end.

If we had our best front row I'd be confident of pushing them on current form. Alvaro gets plenty of knocks on here but he is a machine and he really carries the pack in terms of doing the hard yards, and Mannah (if he is actually out) fills the gap defensively when he's off the field. Timmy has really had a renaissance this season. Hell even Evans has found some sort of mojo only to get injured straight away.

Big step down to debutants Oregon Kaufusi and (maybe) Ray Stone though. Oggie is big lump of a kid and a great young talent and Stone will work his nutsack off, but it's a rough debut against NAS, Bromwich, et al. Especially when the senior prop is a fat sack of lard like Dave.

Hopefully Mannah is fit.

Good luck to Ray Stone making his debut for Parra, Magpies Juniour who regularly folds people in half.

Really keen to see how he goes. I feel like he's maybe a little small to be a top-shelf NRL player, but the kid works harder than anyone at the club and he hits like Nigel Plum.

Real old style country kid, I used to love in the 20s watching these 120kgs monsters run at the scrawny little lock who would belt them into next week.
