Great to see Cherrington back adds a whole new dimension…
 
Dragons, who belted us twice this year

Massive effort to be alive when Moses, Seve, milone and woods have all missed most of the year. Remember brooks could still be playing too!

We gave the Broncos a touch up earlier this season and I reckon we can do it again with that side.
 
Really dissapointed the club hasn't released a statement on Moses saying why he isn't playing. It's not difficult and can't imagine it's a secret. It's a tiny thing to keep fans and members informed. Things like this are why I'm not renewing my membership next year.

Cherrington is a huge in… one of the top half dozen in the comp IMO

much better side with him playing. Would have been nice to have Moses playing, but TBF, he has not played much in the back half of the year.

His absence will see Andrew Kazzi shift to hooker and Matthew Lodge to lock forward, with Dwayne Lemafa called on to the bench to replace Sione Alofi.

A late inclusion to last week's team, Mitchell Moses will not be doing the same tonight after undergoing groin surgery this week to have him right for the start of pre-season.

That's a huge pack, no doubt trying to counter the Broncos huge pack, but why no Marshall King at hooker?! He's looked quite the capable replacement for Cherrington, and his speed out of dummy half would have been a great asset against the Broncos.

Kazzi is bigger, but much more of a backrower. Doesn't have the pace of Cherrington or Marshall.

One wonders whether there's enough pace in that team. Only Martin, Heleta, and to a lesser extent Farrell and Hoeter have any pace. It's where a hooker who can put the opposition on the back foot comes in so handy.

The loss of Moses isn't too bad as they've played without him every week for the past few months anyway, and he didn't touch the ball in last week's win either.
 
Marshall-King is also injured I believe Balmain Boy…succumbed to a shoulder injury which also required surgery..
 
Early error from Grant and a repeat set see the Broncos score 4-0 kick missed from close range 7 mins gone
 
Great tackle from Hoeter causes a Bronco error ..we go on the attack
