@tiger5150 I reckon AD to 13
think Bateman comes in for tumeth
It will be Wakeham to 7 and Brooks to 9 i'd imagine..
I think Wakeham will be a straight interchange for Api.

@loganr21 expect Bula to debut taking wakehams spot
doubt it. No cover for Api in that case. Hate having a half on the bench but Brooks will go to 9 and Wakeham 7
already been debating this with Garry this afternoon 😂. I’m with you saying I think Brooks will play some 9 and Wakeham to 7. Garry saying no way. We’ll see 😜

Sorry Garry, I’m with team Steve on this one. They trialled it at the back end of last year and while you could technically call it a kimmorley tactic, it smacked of sheens. I personally prefer it than having wakeham at dummy half. It worked okay for Ben hunt and he seems in a similar mould to brooks (in physique more than skill).
Brooks definitely plays some 9 on the weekend. Could be a good test to see how Wakeham goes at half.
I actually think Brooks would be a good 9, I doubt Sheens goes that way.

I would rather bring in Rua than go with Luke @9…. It was done last year and all he did was pass. If Wakeham doesn’t play 7 then back to Koe. Let’s move forward Timothy

Rua is underdone in my opinion, I thought the Magpies bench hooker outshone him on Sunday.

Last year I was thinking Brooks would make a good 14, similar role to what Hunt does for QLD.
@loganr21 I thought he can due to Laurie's injury

I think it will serve two purposes with Sheens getting a look at Wakeham at 7. Also think Brooks meets the defensive requirements at 9 as well as having experience there last year.
think he might shine if given a chance…some are just made for the big show.I would rather bring in Rua than go with Luke @9…. It was done last year and all he did was pass. If Wakeham doesn’t play 7 then back to Koe. Let’s move forward Timothy

IMO he looked poor when given a shot in the trial. Looked overweight, slow and a chronic case of white line fever. Nothing Ive seen the two halves of KOE changed my mind.

Possible, I didn't expect what Pole has shown based on his reserves form.
