Why is Ronnie named in the reserves? Wasn't he due back Rd 26-27. Quick recovery?

I seriously loved our game plan last week. Really think this could be the start of something new. Everything goes through the middle!

We were great last week, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Outside of Foran, that Titans team was woeful across the park. Can’t expect us to make those meters up the middle week in week out to give us those crash play opportunities.

I do too mate but I think the Knights will be a bit stronger than the Titans last week. I know they had something to play for to make the 8 but the Knights are closer and will fancy their chances. Ponga always pulls one out against us, the young fellow Sharpe needs to be watched and Brailey Snr will do all he can to upset Brailey Jnr.
Agree on Ponga finding something against us, but Newy were bog average last week. The tigers were just worse. If we hold the ball again we'll get it done easy.

Wow did not expect that at all. If Uele is fit for me he comes in for Burns.

Even swap Trindall for Berrell and give tricky 20 minutes out there lol

I know you froth Trindall but trying to shoehorn him into the team if he's not 100% isn't the right move

Knights have been hot and cold all year, here’s hoping they have an arctic cold week against us and we can increase that F/A tally to keep the Doggies at bay in 5th.

That lineup will change
Mindgames from Fitz
Not sure it's mind games mate, I just think he's got 3 guys on the injured list and he isn't sure if they'll be right yet. I don't think it takes much brain power for the Knights coaching staff to predict what may happen.

Ronnie must be very close to being available if we are naming him. No need to if he's 50/50 or worse IMO, you just stick with Stonestreet.
Obviously recovering well (assuming we had other fit players we could name...)

If we rested Trindall for muscle tightness last week, I can’t imagine Fitz brings Ronnie back THIS early.

If I was a betting man, this is what I think we’ll see:

6. Atkinson
7. Trindall
8. Toby
9. Brailey
10. Kafusi
11. Nikora
12. Sifa
13. Cam

14. BHU
15. Hunt
16. Williams
17. Hazleton

18. Burns

Curious to see if Hazleton or BHU have another “injury” to see them sidelined when Teig is fit though.

Are we not playing 1-5? Puts us at a great disadvantage. 😆

Fitz knows how powerful the mind games will be for the rest of the top eight when they see us beat the Knighs with zero outside backs 🤣

Jokes aside, don’t think we’ll see any change to 1-5. No way Ronnie comes back this quickly if we’re resting Tricky for muscle tightness and BHU for knee soreness.

But its hard for them to prepare with 2 vastly different lineups and style of play
