Not sure what the news is on John yet so might not quite be full strength, but at least close enough. Might not want to rush them all back either with the team going pretty well at the moment.
I don't think Tate mentioned anything about it on 40/20 last night.
Mind you, it was a train wreck with Halligan at the helm anyway. Price & Tate should have kicked those clowns out and did the show themselves.
The funniest part was when the Channel 9 sound feed cut out from the Penrith game, and they had to commentate a set.
2 biggest jibberers the world has ever seen. What about when Stray Dog called Swann "Logel"?

If all 6 of those players were fit and ready to go, I would select
1- Hohaia
2- Locke
3- Tate
4- Ropati
5- Vatuvei
6- Maloney
7- Seymour
8- Rapira
9- Heremaia
10-Royal
11-Brown
12-Mannering
13-Luck
Res- Ta'ai, Packer, Matulino, Henderson
Unfortunately, that would mean leaving out Tupou, John, Latimore, Lousi and Moon.
I'd concur with that line up, but I'd have Packer starting ahead of Rapira. Packer has really stepped up and deserves a run on spot.

Funny thing is I'd pick your team minus ropati at centre (i give him credit at FB not a centre) replace him with brown or moon - the rest are fine
I was actually hoping those 2 idiots didn't come on. But then Stray Dog destroyed the beautiful silence. It was painful.
They did love Henderson though. Even gave him MOM. Fair enough though, hard to pick out of him and Luck.
But just picking up on another point. If Hohaia was to slot straight back into Fullback, who do you drop out of Brown & Ropati? I personally think Brown has been going better at centre than Ropati lately.
Brown will most likely go back to the back row, but I'd like to see him stay in the centres.
You only give him credit as a fullback because you have to on the back of his last two performances.
In any event, only an idiot would drop Ropati at the moment. You prove that point
