The NRL are obviously sympathetic to Skeepes need for someone to blame if Canberra dont win

Interesting. Looks like Thommo will only be in the centres for a short period with Jack Wighton on the bench.

Interesting. Looks like Thommo will only be in the centres for a short period with Jack Wighton on the bench.

I'm thinking Wighton will start the match. It will be a bit too much reshuffling within the game if Wighton comes off the bench, and hence we will lose some continuity.

It'll end up looking like this IMO:

1. Dugan
2. Earl
15. Wighton
4. Ferguson
5. Robinson
6. McCrone
7. Williams
8. Shillington
9. Buttriss
10. Tilse
11. Papalii
3. Thompson
13. Fensom

12. Picker
14. Berrigan
16. Nicholls
17. Learoyd-Lahrs

Has Wighton played any footy since the injury?

Played the second half of the Toyota Cup semi final against the Warriors last week.

I think Thommo will start and get through the softening up period, then move to the second row. Picker to the bench when Thommo comes on. But who knows really.

Thurston is licking his lips at that Manly backline, especially if Lyon is out

 

[slamminsam246]

Manly's only hope is if their Forwards dominate. They are capable of doing so if they aim up and play alot better than they did against the dogs.
Can't write off the mighty eagles just yet!...

 

[Evenflow]

I'll be more than happy to see them playing Lyon. Surely he won't be 100% and you'd have to think he'd be a fair risk of doing even more damage taking the field.

 

[Gozilo]

Who kicks for Canberra? Can Wighton kick or is someone going to teach Dugan/Fergonson?

I heard Dugan has been entrusted with the kicking duties.
