Be interesting what the final 17 is an hour out, if Bunty is healthy I wouldn't be adverse to him taking the first 15 - 20 and then Barnett doing a solid middle period stint. Have Zyon Maiu’u to blast for 10 - 15 mins in there too.

Against St George - 1 experienced Man bench in Ale equals 18 point loss
Against Titans - 2 experienced Man bench plus a good rookie debut equals 3 point loss
Against Knights - 3 experienced man bench plus a rookie year player equals win???

Actually having some first grade experience makes a lot of difference to that bench, I know he's a limited player overall but can do a job in the middle, that's what we need at the moment.
Bunty been dominating tackles this season. We need to slow down oppositions ruck speed.
I do agree, as I said he strengthens the team.
But conceding nearly 30 unanswered points week after week is what needs addressing.

I don’t know why I feel old & tired looking at that line up…. it doesn’t fill me with energy 
For those mentioning that Bunty won’t play, he has been officially removed from the teams injury list and is good to go.

Come on bro, noone is saying he is going to win us the game or leaping out of their socks
We have leaked sixty points in the past fortnight, and defensive issues are a lot easier and quicker to fix than our offensive issues.
We are getting rolled really bad in that middle period of the game. Bunty holds the middle well in defence and controls the ruck, he adds in a department we have lacked the last two weeks.
Looks like CHT, Jazz and Marata’s returns have been delayed even more unfortunately.

Exactly
Bunty just solidifies the side provides the concrete won’t win you the game but makes it less likely we lose

Ah man!!! Both would be great benefit atm. I would have liked to see CHT have an extended run at 6 over TMM

Don’t think Bunty will play, he and Ale are doing the same things, maybe Zyon Maiu’u comes in last minute to diversify the bench, unless Laban’s being told to run harder, this pack needs a shock in the system midgame, Zyon Maiu’u clearly showed how to do it
Like a defibrillator
Like a defibrillator
Or Walker/Bunty/Ale/Zyon Maiu’u might have the best chemstry, sorry Laban, Zyon Maiu’u was at a different level from the first hit up

I guess webby is happy to have Walker at 9 if need be? Or TMM at 9 and walker 6?
A bit of a surprise seeing Afoa and Capewell named. Mainly as Capewell was TBC so it could have been short term or a while. Afoa I wasn't expected to be named for a few weeks with some of the weeks listed against him.
Being named is one thing. Making it to kick off on the weekend is another thing. We have see players named and pulled a bit this year.
Having them back would help. If they play lets hope they get through and remain injury free. Capewell has seemed to be battling a few different issues.
Good to see Laban still included. Keep his development going.
A few days off and a few players is good and all. Still need to turn things around on the weekend.
