[TV Ted Ellery]

Alex seafaring Seyfarth returns. Melbourne are on notice.

 

[Odessa]

Nofo ?

 

[aturkey]

Joe injured? He sucks anyway so I'm glad he's out

 

[Tiger913]

The bench is a bit ehhhh, see how we go 👍

 

[innsaneink]

Shifty

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Double

 

[Yossarian]

Junior Tupou and Ken have merged into a single person?

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Nofoaluma dropped - deserved.
Ofahengaue dropped for Seyfarth - that's interesting.
Doueihi fullback - wonder how far into the game we get before Sheens changes that again?
Wakeham 5/8 - I guess it doesn't matter whether he wears 6 or 7 but he should be the dominant half.

 

[hobbo1]

Doohey at 1 is puss
Seyfarth 🤣
Wakeham to lead is a plus

 

[KingRobbie]

Junior Tupou and Ken have merged into a single person?

My mistake lol.

 

[cktiger]

Why do they continue to name Brooks a 7 ?
Everybody knows he’ll be playing as a 6 so why not just name him there?

 

[KingRobbie]

Joe injured? He sucks anyway so I'm glad he's out

Joe O dropped.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Putrid.

Zero effort and gets another run in a different position, displacing someone who did nothing wrong.

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Seyfarth over Joffa? Really?

Madness.

I'm a fan of Joffa, but I'm also a fan of giving a seasoned NRL player a kick up the bum. So good move dropping him. I'm sure he will come back stronger.

Love that he moved AJ to centre.

I knew he wouldn't take the 7 off Brooks. He should have for Lukes sake, even if his role doesn't change, just relieve of what wearing 7 brings.

Great starting pack, but for balance I'd like to see Pole or Stef to the bench to add some punch after 20mins

 

[Tiger913]

Surely Matamua gives you more than Seyfarth ?

 

[aturkey]

I'm genuinely just glad Doueihi is out of the halves. One step closer.

Storm: Star playmaker Cameron Munster returns after missing two games with a finger injury in a huge boost for the Storm. Jonah Pezet goes to the reserves bench. Halfback Jahrome Hughes heads to the judiciary on Tuesday night to seek a downgrade on a Dangerous Contact charge. Should he be successful he will line up against the Tigers but if found guilty he will miss two games, meaning Pezet could come back into the team at halfback.
