Is this...is this what it feels like not to rage over the team list? Is this real life?

I know...I just...I dnot enev knwo wah tto say.

Yeah seems to be a big lump capable of looking after himself. Hopefully we can control the pill and his work is done with the pill rather than defending. For what it's worth I think Barba on bench is a good move at this point. If he gets on fresh against a tiring defence he may rediscover his mojo. God I hope we win this game!

Agree. Think it will be good for Barba to play without the pressure, and after a bit of freedom on the park if he can get his confidence up again, then we can worry about the long term structures.

Happy Days! (til friday at least)

We beat them last year by 30 odd, since then beating roosters last weekend was our highest margin win. And that was by 8

Wonder if Flanno is going to switch Gal to prop, Bird to 13 to let Barba play at 6. Or if he will drop a centre and push bird there?

Don't see him playing Barba off the bench and losing a forward.

Not a bad thought, but I rather Leutele be replaced by Bird. Which is good and bad because Leutele has been safe but Bird is the word.

That's exactly what I see him doing. Prior or Bukuya. I don't think the 15 minutes that our 4th bench forward has been playing are that hard to cover from the other 8 forwards in the team.

Also, Nu Brown was down for a bench spot pre his ACL calamity.

Good result, one less forward on the bench and a speedy tryscoring, match winner as a pinch hitter off it.

I'd go
1 holmes
2 beale
3 bird
4 leutele
5 feki
6 barba

Unfortunately Gordon goes, leutele defensively sound and solid hasn't done anything wrong. Bird to try and shut down BJ and I think he's up for it but in saying that I can't see flano changing our centers to accommodate bird they have both been solid.
