I know these things change all the time but I suppose out of that you could assume that A) The Week One side more or less (Russell over Kelly for instance) and;
B) Talataina is currently still rated higher than Lincoln Fletcher.

Anyway, really looking forward to this one. Hopefully another good showing in defence and zero injuries.

Also is older so Fletcher can drop back to Ball this week

“Based on form” of trial 1, it’s what’s been rewarded I think. Russell was so good he’s creating a great reason to pick him. Simonsen brought the ball back really hard so he looked good.

I like that Kelly doesn’t walk in.

KK kept spot, William straight in on the edge, interesting.

I still have a fear we cop a lesson round 1, but I do think if we play to our potential we have a decent side.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't we flog the Panthers a few years ago in a pre-season trial but they then went on to win the Premiership?
