I thought Lowrie was apparently injured in the WCC. I'd assume Cahill to go to 13 in that case?

The Broncos picking Norman at fullback is a statement that they want to score points. The team may have defensive weaknesses but when you take the second best centre in the game out of the team they will be tested.

 

[Noa]

Winterstein isn't all that great in defense either. No idea about Beale.

So I don't think any of our backs are defensively strong.

Folau will do well, was good as a center in 08, Kemp just needs to make sure he comes in hard on those players fast enough to get around Issy.

Dont count last year, he was injured or on the wrong side.

Maloney is a good young half/five eighth from the Storm and Heremaia is a guy who fought his way into first grade last season after Henderson, Fien and co got dropped. Spent a lot of years in lower grades.

Why did you only bold Suttor...Cummins is every bit as incompetent. Looking forward to massive refereeing WTFs in this game. All it needs is Jarod Maxwell on the video

I'm guessing that one G'Bird

 

[simon says]

I think putting Rogers at 3 and 6 is dangerous in these hot conditions.

Cartwright really needs to ease up on him.

It is only round one.

 

[petetheileet]

I didnt know Rogers was that good!!!
