I would leave Matai out as he will be an ornament out there on Thursday. Keep Killer at centre and bring in Godinet to half.1.Stewart

I'd say this is very close; however, Starling will probably be in there.Skivvy, and T-Red likely to play. BJ and kapow back from suspension so I think this is the likely team:
Mateo will be used as utility.

Funny mate, no one loves skivvy more than me but Thursday won't be like playing Sharks or Roosters. Souffs are intimidating, fast and fit especially with the melon head back. What happens if skivvy goes down with one of his many injuries when we've got 13 boofheads trying to stamp on our heads. It could get ugly.Wash your mouth out.
I would have Matai in the team even if Zorba had to push him around the field in a wheelchair.
@Mark from Brisbane
BJ, Marty, T-Red, Matai and a halve, Back in
DCE, Leary, Buhrer, Burgess, Starling out (if Lussick preferred)
Potato can stay.
DCE has been enormous in defence-not that he should have to be. This break will probably do him good
Be interesting to see which way Tendy Trent goes.which is why I believe his replacement will be the best defender. Slack defense on both edges (Walker) will be a disaster.
