mary has lost the f**king plot!!! WHY did you only give Mann one chance at 7, yet you give mcgroan unlimited... fmd
Mann didn't even get a full game at 7 and never got any ball. f**king ridiculous. One bad game at fullback last year and banished to reserve grade for half a season yet the likes of McCrone and MacDonald play shit nearly every week and are constantly picked. I can't for the life of me work out why Mann stayed with us. He's just signed on for two more years of being treated like shit. And the chances of Dufty getting a run of any longer than 10 minutes are probably zero to none.

Saw an article about an internal stink between Leilua and Austin. Those 2 were keys last year to the Raiders great end of season form. That Leilua is a deadset loose cannon and comes across as a hot head and temperamental. He has form previously at the Chooks and Newcastle too. Stuart apparently called them in to an "honesty session" and all is now rosy! If that is the case we could get rolled by 30+....
Let's all hope Austin throws Leilua a bad pass in the first minute of play shall we!

I really don't think Dugan will play. So I think Dufty will get his debut.
More than likely he'll come on at the 70th minute mark which is the usual crap that McGregor put on the number 17.
More interesting for me is I don't think Vaughan should play either too much of a risk on a very cold night in Canberra. And why oh why is maketto named in the 23 man squad.
