Maybe House has been playing well in NSW Cup ? Trying to rationalise why Cuthbo would have been dropped.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Dobson playing NSW Cup too

Boggles me why Cuthbo was dropped. Maybe Wayne doesnt like 2nd phase?

 

[slotmachine]

haha, too many offloads for boring bennett!

hope tets has his conditioning up to scratch, would be embarrassing to get the hook after 9 minutes like last season

 

[Frederick]

I'm pretty filthy that cuthbo has been dropped.

Even more filthy that Houso has been recalled

 

[Jono078]

Such varying opinions.

Tyrone has impressed me so much so far this year.

I'm not a fan of Cuthbertson at all.

 

[slotmachine]

I'm pretty filthy that cuthbo has been dropped.

more metres than any other forward, averaging 115m a game

 

[Zoidberg]

Not that I agree about Cuthbo being dropped but I thought House played pretty well in the games I've seen him in this year (in 1st grade). Ate up quite a few metres.

 

[Jobdog]

Tetevano and Houston to start, Mason and Rochow back to the bench.

 

[Frederick]

Tets and house starting

Mason and rochow to bench

 

[Noname36]

Not sure if I agree with who was cut but I'm happy Bennett is making a statement and showing the boys that we won't accept a performance like last week without there being a huge shake up.

NSW Cup have been terrible anyway.

 

[Whats Doing]

How did NYC go

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Won 48-28 from memory.

 

[perverse]

Some very odd changes to the team. Did Cuthbo defend very poorly last weekend? I don't remember him standing out as particularly bad at all. Thought he's been generally good this year, actually.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Rochow is paying for his poor defencive effort last week

Im guessing, or hoping lol, that House wont play too many minutes in the backrow

 

[Jono078]

Maybe Mullen and Houston have perfected their short line balls this pre-season :sarcasm:

 

[Dave_]

Wow, I don't get these selections at all. I hope it doesn't cost us.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

And there's the expected square up penalty

 

[Burns]

Welp. Here we go.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Gagai and uate standing flat footed. Those 2 are really poor at reading in defence

 

[Noname36]

Aaannnnnndddd it starts.
