Now that Rein is match fit, I reckon it will be his jumper to lose. He was on fire in reggies and could play lock in a pinch.

Carty proved all the Jake haters wrong about him being the appropriate sub for a backline injury. Yes he brings flashy Harlem Globe Trotters stuff to the game, but he's heart attack material in a tight game.


Rein ran for over 100mtrs. It gives Hands a start also at hooker which is good.
Being the times of other games and this one being in Qld I imagine we will take Bryce as 18th man. Or do they generaly take 2 spare up?

Well holy fu*k. BA has a 9 on the bench but will he get game time? I really hope so. This move could take Rheed to the next level. Rein has been killing it in the 2s.

I'd like to see Rein get a go in a good side. He has spent a large part of his career in shit teams.

I'm also not 100% convinced Mahoney is a gun player we think he is or just a little above average but in a great side. Just hard to tell.

Reality is when you win everyone looks good. And our best form last season was when he was injured.

There's a lot of talk that there will be a 6 again or penalty blitz this weekend.

Gus said it last night on 100% footy and someone else said it Sunday.

We will see how good he actually is next year when he goes over to belmore with the dogs breakfast of a squad they have and then he can spend 4 years of regretting getting sucked in by Gus going to that shithole.

There fans will be expecting him to turn them into a top 4 team. In for a rude shock.

Look at matt burton atm. Josh addo carr hasn't fired a shot either.

Ive been wondering if we will see the best of Rheed if hes spelled 10 b4 and 10 after the break. Of cause it all depends on how or if Rein is used but being named in the 14 jumper surely its a good indication. I suspect Mr Ennis might have his hands all over this very surprising selection. Im excited.

Marata named on reserves … surely once fit he is in our 17 and possibly starts ?
Interesting what BA does with our back row and bench once everyone is fit and available

Lol, Cartwright getting "dropped" after everyone creamed their pants over a lucky touch or two (while forgetting his glaring miss in defence).

Nuikore in #23 and on the way back (presumably with some game time in regiies) - now that is good news!

Would love Matterson to start for Papali'i, and Papa go into the middle rotation from the bench.

I'm not sold on the idea of split 9s when you have an established 80 min player. Appreciate the need to give the No. 2 hooker a sniff of first grade though so its not a bad option.

Has to play him at some stage or its pointless. I suspect he'll get a run in the forwards and maybe BA sees him more as a utility.

On the coverage they said Lane tore his hammy at training. One would think a torn hammy would be a 3/4 weeks proposition, not a 1 week unless it was a minor strain. We’re not in a position we need to take risks. I’d be starting Matto again with Niukore coming onto the bench. In fact I’m almost certain that’s what will happen.

not surprised to see Carty back to 18th, and equally not surprised at the outcry about it on social media who think 1 fluky moment of brilliance gives you a Mortgage on a bench position for the foreseeable future… I think our bench will likely change week on week based on opposition, game plan and injury mitigation. It might be that every 5-6 weeks we plan a spell for Reed by having Rein on the bench for a week or two, before Reed goes back to 80mins again. It’s about the long game….
