Surely Dunster coming in on the Wing and Fergo to centre was the common sense move??? Melbourne are one of the
Quickest teams in the comp they are going to absolutely shred a bloke who does his best work in the middle these days. Development club that’s too scared to give Dunster a run. He more than held his own against the Bunnies.

If there was doubt about Waqa playing from the outset should have Dunster or Penisini ready. (Penisini wasnt even in the extended squad). Will be funny if Waqa plays reserve grade this week.
Nuikore adds so much off the bench. We will now miss that.
It will be a slogfest in the middle and probably shouldn't expect too much lateral movement.
It just wreaks of safety first approach and not rewarding the young blokes. Prefer a player who plays that actual position not someone who is a good player to do the job for the night.
We don't know how this will play out but Roosters for example aren't afraid to name and play Walker and seek dispensation to play Suuali.
I hope we win but i think our chances have just been weakened

I don't feel it is a good idea to put Penisini in a game like this and in these conditions.
Dunster would have to be upset however. He is a winger thou, So what does this say about our centre options moving forward? We rely on the injury prone Opacic and the only back up is Oldfield? Seems ridiculous. But what backs do we have? Looking at the NSw cup side it seems All good and Dunster are the only guys ready.

I'd be surprised if the Chooks debuted either of those players in the wet against a full strength Melbourne Storm.
