Staines and Momirovski on the wings would be horrible. Staines is fine if we have other metre eaters in the back 3.

First 2 or 3 tackles will be horrible. Edwards will do a job. But chances are they bomb him to reduce his metre output on kick return and there's no one to carry us up field on the back of his plays.

Maybe Momirovski can offer more with those carries than I expect. I think in attacking field position he will be fine as he should be trying to go himself. Really only concerned by how we get out of our own end.

Iirc, Momo was a pretty good defender and he is better suited to the wing (not knowing how to pass). So it might be ok. He's not too bad at darting runs, but heavy carries, not so sure. Definitely better than Jennings though. Him and Tago can't be any worse can last weeks pairing defence wise.

Roosters were $3.25 this morning. After Cleary being ruled out along with TPJ and Naden they are now $2.50

I think if Cleary had been in they would be out past $4

$2-50 is way overs.

I only lose my money on the horses but if I was a non panther fan I would have gobbled up the $3-25 Even before the outs.

I threw 50 on them the second I saw Nathan and TPJ were out. Odds hadnt changed yet.

Did the same thing against Tigers after Origin teams were named. Got ridiculous odds for them to beat a reserve grade side.

Rather lose my 50 (and get a try scoring multi I'll put on once the team's finalised). But with our backline this week i can really see Roosters backline having a field day.

Looks like Reed Mahoney just did his shoulder again. Nothing in it. Just fell awkwardly.

This is why Im worried for Nathan. Happy to wait as long as possible for him to return. Less games he plays the less risk of busting his shoulder again

Id honestly be tempted to use him off the bench for a few games. Maybe Rounds 24, 25 and Week 1 of finals.

Bring him on when the intensity of the hits drops a bit. Let him run up the scoreboard for a bit to win us the game and bench him again. If we lose these games it sucks but wont hurt our premiership chance. Losing Nathan would

Come sudden death games we just hope he has 160 minutes in his shoulder. 240 if we lost week 1.
