Yeah kinda happy with the changes, especially Jennings, probably more pleased he actually made changes more than anything else.
I hope Packer grabs this opportunity.

Me too mate, I don't think we will roll the raiders, especially after they lost last week, but I think this is the turning point moving forward, the old keep doing the same thing over and over hoping for a different result was doing my head in, here's cheers buddy
Some interesting decisions glad Madge has the balls to do it.
Musgrove starting and Mikaele bench is a great move, our forward pack won’t be as weak when the starters go off and Musgrove looked good in his two games.
Lawrence for Garner is a bit baffling but at least rowdy can play second row instead of lock.
Talau for Jennings a much needed move hopefully he can catch a footy, he’s a powerful ball runner
Grant playing 80 is good, we suffered when he went off last game
Good to see Chee-Kam back he suits these new rules and very interested to see how Packer goes.

Squad looks alright, I don't really agree with Brooks staying in the line up and benji getting dropped, benji as we all know is not without his issues but he has by far shown way more attacking ability, urgency and effort then luke Brooks all year even at 35 he constantly has defences second guessing and his ability to keep plays alive has dug us out of a few holes . Personal opinion I don't think Brooks has shown the progression of the other good halves in the league to lead a team, with poor choice poorly timed kicks for the situations at the time grubbers into opponents legs , low driving kicks into other players, I don't hate the guy by any means at all on the football field, I once had huge hopes for Brookes but he's just not the answer for us? Am I wrong?

I thought Clark did well last week. Harsh to be dropped, imo. Should be Seyfarth instead

Packer is the big one for me, where has that come from. I actually like the changes Benji bunted means no one is safe i hope grub takes his chance and smokes them. I would say Garner is injured or a huge doubt which is why Rowdy is in. I just hope Talau keeps away from Harrys legs but im looking forward to having another look at him.

No complaints about Marshall, however, would he have been dropped if we fielded the short kick off? I don’t think he would have been.

Mbye mate . As per usual .
At this stage there are only 2 players that have definitely been dropped..Jennings and Clark..the others that were not named in the 17 could still play...

I don't think you're wrong.
Perhaps his age works against him. He's still only about 25 years old, still very young. Perhaps a good half-back is like a Prop, needs to hit mid late 20s before he comes of age. I agree he seems to be progressing very slowly, and I'm sick of the excuses for him (like I'm sick of the excuses for every player).
Maybe he'll come good, perhaps, we have him for another few years so I certainly hope so. I wouldn't blame the coach on convincing him to go to another club though and finding a replacement.

Good to see changes...halves needed one to go.
Garner and Walters very unlucky.
