Interesting that Corey Thompson is listed in the extended squad, so he hasn't been released (yet).
Woops didn’t see this ...Musgrove back good...Lawrence I can only think it’s for leadership according to your guys comments ..Round 05 Team Lists have arrived with BIG changes!
* Tommy Talau has been named on the wing in place of Robert Jennings.
* Josh Reynolds replaces Benji Marshall in the halves.
* Zane Musgrove and Chris Lawrence start in the forward pack with Luke Garner and Thomas Mikaele shifting to the bench.
* Russell Packer has been named to play his first game since April 2019

Jennings not in the 21 and hopefully that will the last we ever see of him. I'd release him. He's just as likely to break lockdown, get on the piss and assault someone. We could do without the reputational damage.
Personally, if I was in charge I'd forfeit this game. It would save our +/- copping a 50 point plus downturn. I'd also dock all the players their weeks wages. That would send a very clear message. Except Grant. He's the only one who earned his money.
BJ will be seeing plenty of action in defence this weekend.
Madge doesn’t f**k around
Benji played like a cripple on Sunday, I’m pretty sure he is carrying an injuryWell ..if nothing else it makes it as clear as day to them that no ones position can be taken for granted
..Benji may be the tall poppy fall guy to ram that home...dropping him seems rash but still being early in the season it may just be the zap to the heart this club needed. Match fitness with the new guys is a big concern though
I wish Rowdy would retire, off field he is likeable and a credit to the club but on it he is a liability.
Id be dropping Brooks before most of them but he is a protected species so....I’d b dropping Brooks b4 Benji.
I wonder if Maguire is aware of Benji’s formidable record vs raiders.
Not really... this is knee jerk at best. He is pretty devoid of ideas past plan A.He knows how to make tough decisions doesn't he.
