No real suprises there - Skando went great off the bench last week and the backline was in great form. The only questionable decision for mine was to keep Lolesi at lock...or in the first grade team. I'll admit that he does have some agression that we seem to lack, but every time he makes a tackle he looks like he's going to give away a penalty because of the little niggling things he does. I'd have the fowards and bench as:

8. Gibbs
9. De Gois
10. Payten
11. Heighnington
12. Galea
13. Harris

14. Flanagan
15. Galloway
16. Skandallis
17. O'Hara

If they'd dropped lolesi to Balmain and he'd taken out a magpie player this week the whinging would have become unbearable so I'm glad he's still in the team ;-)
