I think Bainbridge will come in, not Myles. I agree that Barrett will have Brown start at hooker and Hastings will get a little more time off the bench.

If Tom is right to play next week then Parker should get the nod, otherwise Wright to wing and Tom to Fullback.
 
Brown is not a bad hooker IMO. It is his best position. If he had made a career out of playing 9 he wouldn't be as maligned as he currently is.

Let's send him out to take the brunt of the early exchanges before bringing Hastings on.
 
Mataele doesn't look too bad from what I saw of Blacktown today.
I haven't seen that much of him though so anyone who's seen him play more might give us an assessment.
Also the 2nd tier cap comes into play.

Is Schuster a chance at the wing spot? He's been playing left wing all year in reserves. The most experienced reserve back is Jonno Wright, wouldn't surprise if he got a call-up.

Is Jorges injury a ACL or Medial ? is there any conformation of the actual injury
 
You can guarantee the mrc will have today's game under the microscope to try and find someone/anyone to suspend from the team before next week as well
 
I agree with that team exactly.

Parker is definitely the best replacement for Taufua at this stage.

If Myles is out i think Lane probably deserves another opportunity with some more gametime.
Penny is pedestrian. unfortunately.
If you want a prop to leave an indent in the opposition I'd be picking Tent.

Now wouldn't that be something. Can he tackle yet though? I would like to see him given a run at some stage to see how he goes. It will be interesting to see who gets picked. Maybe Api will end up playing afterall?
 
Jono Wright to come in on the wing for Taufua and Jarrad Kennedy to replace Brown who will be starting in the 9 IMO. Both Kennedy and Wright have been named in the extended squads for a while now.
