that’s total bullsh*t! Reedy needs to become best mates with Cooper Johns to get a look in..Reed Mahoney released from QLD Camp as Grant to start.

And I've seen a similar spread in The 2s with Dunster caught infield trying to defend 2 or 3. It will be interesting indeed. That said The Knights look weak. Should be a cake walk for Old Boys Day.The strength of his runs have surprised me this year. I’ll reckon he’ll go alright.

Not forgetting we played 60 minutes with 12I reckon last week was about getting our best defensive centre alongside Jake Arthur (and probably Ferguson too). When Blake arrived at the club Mennings (our best defender) was on the left helping rookies Sivo and Drown. Now that Drown is our best defensive half he moved over to the right to help that side, but with Drown replaced by Arthur we suddenly had our best defenders all on the left. Of course teams were going to attack our right side. So we moved Opacic. I wonder if Opacic will move back to the left now that Drown is back, or if he will stay on the right to help Dunster.
Brett plowmanI wonder if we'll see Niukore attacking on the wing
Hmmm Well I'll have an egg on my face if Blake plays better without Ferguson. I'll be ok with that egg if it means the team will be winning.
So it will be just like our last game against the bunnies thenDont think you guys will have to worry about your team defending too much on Sunday.
1. It weakens our middle rotations.
2. Marata prefers the middle (morale).
3. He also provides outside back cover if on the bench.
3. The psychology of having a player on elite centre money playing reserve grade.
4. The fact that Marata hasn’t been heavily targeted or tested in the position and;
5. The fact that Blake is RIDICULOUSLY talented and has untapped potential, though it hasn’t been seen to that level or close to consistently.
The thinking is that Niukore is a front rower, and therefore our worst defensive centre of the three. If he looked better it's because he was never tested. He certainly never defended outside Jake Arthur. How could you know he was any good if he never faced any overlaps?
The Manly loss was frustrating but not concerning (for me anyway). The Souths loss means absolutely f**k all in the grand scheme of things. They have a better team and should have won. But we're f**ked if we lose to the Knights. It will be alarm bells even for a unicorn fluffer like myself.And I've seen a similar spread in The 2s with Dunster caught infield trying to defend 2 or 3.

Without RCG, and then with Kaufusi only playing for 16 minutes last week, we're lucky we had Niukore in the middle or we would've had 50 put on us.1. It might somewhat weaken our middle rotation, but our forwards are going fine without Marata.
He was poor in the previous two games but he was good against Souths, with a solid 42 fantasy points. Looks like he's back in form and fitness.Simple. Waqa has failed every test put to him so far.
He was converted to the forwards because he doesn't have the tools for the outside backs. But it's certainly good that he's able to fill in. Very few teams can afford to carry first graders outside their top 17 and I understand Opacic was supposed to be our backup centre this year until Mennings was cancelled.Also, my understanding is that Marata played a decent amount of centre as a junior - so he's not exactly naïve to the position.
I'm sure he plays for us on Sunday and then flies to Townsville to be part of the extended squad. Best outcome for us but not for Reed. He will however learn a truckload by being in Origin camp and only make him hungrier. His time will come..Harry Grant is not exactly immune to spending a fair amount of time on the sidelines. Surprised Ben Hunt was not selected in the extended Qld squad
I also think he has been a bit tentative since the head knocks.Also think Ryan Matterson has been a let down. Does absolutely nothing. He’s got the skill but doesn’t get involved.
He was playing better at the Tigers.
He has been used horribly in attack in all his time here, it would be nice to have a half capable of putting someone in a gap.Also think Ryan Matterson has been a let down. Does absolutely nothing. He’s got the skill but doesn’t get involved.
