[Wiz]

Love the back row. Like last week, hate the bench.

Laurie injured or dropped?

 

[The Fresh Oil]

Poor Laurie.

 

[Pbulk]

Laurie injured, exemption granted for Bula

 

[hsvjones]

Laurie Dropped
I like Wakeham to put pressure on Brooks
Hope Bateman come in for Tumeth
And I thought Bula was after round 10

 

[earl]

Yoss nailed it.

Interesting team. AD and Brooks still named as our starting halves but Wakeham on the bench. I really hope they play Wakeham as a 7.

To'a and Tupou in are big pluses.

The pack looks pretty good but look at that backrow. It's a bunch of kids.

 

[hobbo1]

Wakeham 🔥

Doohey and brooks 🤦‍♂️🤢🤮

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Fonua Pole named at lock. Very interesting. Maybe a smokescreen and Bateman will come into the 13 and Pole to the bench?

That would make the Bench a better picture.

Laurie has a minor knee injury, this is why Bula has been given NRL exemption to be named in the 22-man squad.

 

[Tiger913]

I am struggling to see especially after being at the game watching on Sunday what Nofa offers us anymore

Thank you for your service Laurie.

Laurie injured or dropped?

I would say dropped but not certain. Don’t be surprised if final team has a few surprise changes. Maybe Wakeham for Brooks ?
But Nofa survives.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Reckon halves will stay the same

Wakeham to alternate with Koroisau, maybe

 

[jadtiger]

Good to see Matamua Bula and Wakeham hopefully get a chance

Laurie injured or dropped?

Early Bali Trip

 

[Bula]

That would make the Bench a better picture.

Been hoping for the Klemmer-Stef-Pole successive hit ups. Work something off the back of that.

Bateman will come in for tumeth hopefully pretty good side

 

[Tigerdave]

Hope Staines kills it and Wakeham has a good enough game to keep the spot
