Good news on Viliame Kikau. He might only be 2 weeks. Waqa Blake very close. Probably leave him until after rep round. Moses Leota going well. Maybe 3/4 weeks. Josh Mansour hopeful of round 20. Peter Wallace struggling with bicep injury. Browne, McKendry, Edwards won’t be back.

Beat me to it Stu..............

Nightingale to the bench and Mann to the wing is the first time this year Drag Queens haven't had the same starting 13 and its round 14, that's unheard of.

I was going to say earlier when someone mentioned Mann that the poor guy is going to need to get some match fitness if he's going to cover the halves over Origin. Maybe this is for that reason?

That is insane, especially considering that the change keeps the same guys in the 17.

Klemmer named on the bench........again. Why not name him on the bench from the start, this is the 5th game in a row he is named at 10 and reverted to the bench on game day. Dean Pay is DH anyway, especially for dumping Martin

At least Martin isn't playing after all that.

Maybe Nightingale got the sly text to say he's off to Denver so needs a rest

Yep it's these sort of things that really shit me and trigger my OCD due to the team list being out of order now....

Seriously though, whenever coaches do this, it also comes across like the player in question (Klemmer in this instance) is being a bit of an egomaniac and demanding they get a starting guernsey number.

Just to top the week off, Aitken for a sub 30 score.

Need 69 from Aitken and Olive for 900. Will be tight.

I have no confidence in Olive and will accept a 26 from Ethan Lowe instead of looping. Olive for a 50 now, thank me later

I'd be happy with a 69, but not from Aitken, nor any other bloke either

Good luck mate

I have now resorted to just wishing others luck haha

I need 32 from MBye for 900. I will be fucking pissed if this doesn't happen.
