Awesome team imo.
Luke?

 

[Dixpat]

F..k we have got Ben Cummins as the ref and he was the won that f..ked us over against the Dragons

 

[Dixpat]

If I had any funny money I would set up something in the Bet Exchange offering odds that Luke won't play

 

[Aman]

No Tevanga at all?

Surely a typo with Tevanga starting

 

[dean]

What is going on? Is Luke out for four weeks, or does Kearney think naming him gives us some sort of advantage? Or, has his knee come right and nobody has been told?
Good to see Karl Lawton get a shot , surprised to see Tevaga not in the 22.

 

[RiceOwl]

Jazz dropped out of the 22...?

 

[mrblonde]

Tevaga out with a shoulder injury. The fact he's officially out means he can't be a last minute switcheroo.

I suspect Cook and Gelling drop off, leaving Lawton and Lino in the 19 in case Luke's injury/whatever it is asserts it's ugly self and they have to rule him out on Game Day.

 

[Tedster]

What the heck with luke? Happy other than lisone.

 

[Aman]

Luke been on the special Tongan healing herbs all week

 

[Fazz]

Jazz injured, I reckon Luke drops out. Very happy with the team regardless. As long as we don’t wind up with 2 utilities on the bench, I’m happy.

Wish we could fern Sao in there, but he must have REALLY pissed off SK

 

[Afakasi247]

You’d assume Luke slots out, does that mean Lino comes onto the bench?

 

[AlexM]

Luke trained with the team. He should be OK. Maybe not as much running, which is why Lawton is there to provide that spark and impact.
If Luke doesn't make it past Captains run I assume Cook is in.

 

[Aman]

Luke apparently trained with the team yesterday and must have come up ok. Luke is back and Tevaga is out completely !! yeeeoooow

 

[Afakasi247]

Pretty interesting considering Matt Manukia tweeted this a few hours back:

[eudebrito]

More mooks mindgames. Lawton-Cook might struggle defensively but the tigers don't really play straight up the middle so could get away with it.

I think it's a bit silly to name luke on the 10% chance he's able to play, seeing as you can't just summon up anyone on game day anymore in the event of a late scratching.

And if he's a good chance why'd they claim 4 weeks yesterday?
