Let’s hope Cleary does not hold back TPJ and let’s him loose.he has a great offload yes that can create mistakes but in order to beat the storm we have to be creative
Stock standard footy will not beat them

Yeo and Api makes us a lot more solid in the middle. TPJ should slot straight onto the bench, Ivan mentioned him in the press conference after the storm so I assume he is hoping to get him straight in there.

Expecting some backline changes. Cleary's presser suggested to me that the team will change. And it was on the left edge that we got slaughtered.

Probably start Tago. And I'd look at Momorovski as well. He has to be ahead of Naden and Jennings by now.

I don't really know.
Some players that have personal problems at home sometimes they go off their game for a bit. I hope that is not the case here.
I guess we will find out this weekend.

That was my initial thinking when the story broke. But I have a feeling he will get through it.

If he doesn't then it might cost us the season. His importance to this side is almost on par with Cleary.

In our last 3 matches the Roosters have raced out to a 10/12 nil lead. It would be nice if we are ready for the fast start this time round.

If not then at least play up tempo football. Don't let them dictate terms. At our best its Cleary taking the initiative. Quick tap or fast kick for touch off penalties. We are also very good at forcing a quick drop out. Its that kind of football that has seen us overrun the Roosters in 3 straight games.

If tago doesnt come in to centre over capewell i think ivans truly lost the plot.

Sorensen has been brilliant in the middle and martins been better on the edge. Not sure ehy they arent reversed.

Pretty avg line up

May and tago have a brilliant combo. They really play off the back of each other. Would love to see them together

This will be a dog fight. Exoecting it to be really close and could go either way.

Api needs to have a big game to start and make uo for letting himself and thr club down

With May and Tago on the extended bench I dont think Capewell will play centre. That being said he is more than capable of playing there and not losing us the game.

Dear god. Ivan went full genius.

Momirovski and Capewell in the centres. 2 nuffy centres will mean our wingers are slso out of the game now (Staines already was).

Tago hasn't ever looked anything other than solid to spectacular yet he still struggles for a run.

If he was going to give a young guy his first start he would usually try and 'hide' it for as much of the week as possible. I think we might see some reshuffling done.
