i think its stupid that the roosters and dragons get a bye even though tere is no players from those teams that have been selected for friday night. warriors i can understand being a NZ team they will obviously hav a few players out due to NZ duties and tigers are missing their superstar 5/8 and and 2 utha key players. i jst know sum1 is gunna say "well we r missing caylo and hindy" and yes we are but we can make up that loss, they have noone decent to replace benji in their team esoecially now that they have got a win under their belts

the byes should have gone to- warriors, Broncos, bulldogs, tigers

the NRL need to think more wisely about the concept of giving byes and who gets them at this time imo.

Saints and the Roosters both play on Wednesday for the traditional Anzac day clash for the start of round 7.

Roosters have Tupou or whatever his name is on the bench for Australia, funny that I have heard his named mentioned all season and he gets a run for Australia. He's playing tonight too.

The Sides that get the byes are based on Last years respresentative numbers. So the 4 clubs were Most Heavily represented last year were the Broncos, and Warriors Obvisously. The Roosters (Maybe Mini, Fitgibbon and Braith got a run last year?) The Dragons were chock full with Gasnier Bailey and the like. So it fits and also the Anzac match is on the Wednesday afterwards.
