What's our starting Jets 1/2 back in Puru like just out of interest? If it's not Trindall picked to start I'd presume Puru will be the next guy in for Hynes. Good kicking game, more of a ball runner etc?

Regarding NSW, I thought McIness would make it despite our flogging to Penrith, however Cleary Snr must be surprised, frustrated that McIness has made it as starting lock over Yeo just on the bench haha.

Fair enough, my memories bad obviously as a QLD'er haha

I can't say for certain but I've just seen the QLD squad, Fifita has missed out completely, Cobbo set to make it as the 17. Hopgood & Sua from Parra & Dragons to make their debuts. Hunt set to start at #9 with Grant on the bench. Nanai & Sua to make the 2 starting 2nd rowers with Fotuaika...

In a way it's sort of disappointing they don't get noticed, otherwise I'm sort of pleased we've still got most of our team to pick from. We all know no matter what our players never get recognised unfortunately.

I highly doubt it all those guys the way we perform when the pressure gets to us haha, unfortunately/fortunately.

Who knows, Ramien may very well have been set to make his debut, our performance a few days ago may have changed his mind in the end though.

I'm more surprised he put in an outside back on the bench before another forward (Dave Fifita, Selwyn Cobbo). Sam Walker has been in great form, if he doesn't even make the squad I'll be shocked. DCE has been great for years but he can't keep playing for so many more years. Imo you may aswell...

Nowhere near as good as we have been in the last few years at this stage. We've got a lot of injuries aswell which doesn't help. I'm wondering whether Slater is going to ignore Walker from Roosters completely even on the extended bench.

Thats what has amazed me, he's put a winger or centre on the bench in Cobbo before another forward who can cover the forward line & centre if need be.

I'll wait till tomorrow but if he's ignored Dave Fifita completely I'll be surprised considern the form he has been in. I'm not worried if Felise Kaufusi is back in though.

I was expecting McIness to get it in the 17 somewhere but I certainly didn't think at this stage he'd make the starting side

Regarding NSW, I'm surprised McIness has been picked as starting lock over Yeo from Penrith on the bench at this stage. There is still a week to change though.

I'm pleased to see Hynes & McIness make his debut even if Fittler get frustrated about our 2 players get picked. I'm a QLD supporter so lets see who Slater names for QLD tomorrow without Munster, Ponga, AJ Brimson, Gilbert, Tino & a few others.

Listening to Cleary in his press conferences compared to other coaches like Fitzzy, I wonder whether during their playing days Fitzzy gave him a few head injuries & has made him nowhere near the same as how he was during his playing days hahaha. Cleary might be a bit dirty on Fitzzy & other...

That was an absolute disgrace, what an embarrassing effort, no way were going to win with a 65% completion rate, 3/4 of the errors coming out from our end. I hope Fitzgibbon had a good go at them after the game. We have a performance like that for the top players in Preston Campbell, David...

If thats true that ridiculous, no other club rest their top players before Origin especially playing a top team.

Anyone think Hazelton has an outside chance of making the extended squad this year at least?

Penrith didn't look strong at all, with Cleary out still I hope Edwards continues his kicking haha. Did they get a bit arrogant before the game & early on or did Warriors just get rather stronger later on during the game? I picked Penrith but I'm not fussed, it's good to see Penrith get done haha.

I was a bit frustrated I had 2/6 before the final 2 games, I'm pleased I picked Melbourne & Dolphins, at least got me 4/8 in the end haha. There probably would have been a few wrong tips in general during this Magic Round for a few people anyway.
