Oh damn had no idea. That is rough, just as it looked like he'd get some good FG games in.

Interesting. While forced, it does give us a little more spark and quickness off the mark

Players playing against there old club always seems to cause those players to just go 10-20% harder. So seeing TMM in could be interesting.

Really don't get the TMM inclusion unless it is cover for LM who had some hammy issues towards the end of the Newcastle game.

I think he can cover 1,2,5,6,7 postions. Which allows us i guess to handle any injury on the feild by shuffling some players. Could see the same as the broncos game where CHT moves to hooker and he comes in at 6.

I honestly think its for the first reason, but if no one goes down with an injury they will use him for the latter.

 

[Inruin]

I'm not a fan of having TMM on the bench. I get the versatility factor but realistically the only way he gets game time is if there is an injury to our halves or CHT spells Egan at dummy half while TMM goes to 6 which is a bit of a rigmarole. Egan does need a break but I would much prefer a legitimate hooker in Healey or Lussick getting 15-20 minutes experience. It is magic round though so I suppose it makes sense to have the magic man from last year there.

Very nervous about this game Cowboys step up from knights & it's played in aust.

If Luke has injury problems I would prefer he had a week off to get over it. Long season to go yet

Need everyone to win the season. Keep TMM warm and ready

Yeah 9 times out of 10 i'd prefer healey or lussick. Might be a late switch?

Experience is why TMM I reckon.

*Edit. Plenty of miles ahead for Healey

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Laban no Bueno?

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

I like Martin's inclusion, could give Egan a spell and we could see CHT get another crack.

We have cover in all areas of the starting team, I think with Niukore staring prop and having Bunty, Vaimauga and Ford on the bench is enough forward cover.

Webby is getting the horses for courses right here i think. Martin loves this ground.

I think it's great balance having Capewell, Leiataua on one side and Leka, Berry on the other.
Capewell and Berry with the kick chase , 1% stuff and x factor in the other 2.
