Taumalolo out probably tips the scales our way to favouritism.
That probably means we will definitely lose ☠️

Wow! Payten is cooked. That's right up there with Fittler playing Anasta at fullback.
He was actually pretty good in his game at fullback, and he at least had some experience at the back as he play Qld cup at fullback before becoming a first grade hooker.

Centre though, any decent team would exploit that all day long. So I expect us to play the opposite side for most of the game.

Hasn't been that way, the last 2 weeks?

But a lot of our future forwards are playing, so it should be interesting. Good to see Jake Simpkin get a run.

No backs reserve though?

The team looks good to me. Simpkin and Simpkins are in the team. We have to run with two hookers because Liddle is struggling atm. Hopefully if we limit their minutes they can show us they can be quality NRL players.

Finally 2 hookers! We’ve been calling for it for ages. I’d like to see Simpkins start and Lids off the bench. I think Simpkins could play a role similar to B Smith, same build

It looks to me a bit like a team for next year with Jake S, Tuki and Tuilagi all on the bench.

In the press conference Madge seemed to insinuate Jet will play, so wouldn’t surprise me if there’s another shuffle to come.

Still not sure we win but happy Madge is giving some of the younger guys a go.

Now that Mbye is on his way, we can expect some of his ‘champagne football’ to return.

It was revealed that he’s been trying to get out since the start of the season.

We’ve been screwing him around all year to make sure his impending exit is as financially favourable to us as possible.

I was ropable when he stole Doogies spot after a couple of fair games. That was Madge flattering himself, succumbing to weakness.

As a person, he’s a great guy, down to earth and loves his fans. Good luck to him.

I remember Jason Taylor moving Kyle Lovett to the centre’s during a game, what a disaster that turned out to be, everyone could see it was not working bar that imbecile Taylor.
But like Mbye, when all is said done, take jason out of any position of responsibility, he’s a f**king good bloke.
