Saturday night at Gosford. Bookies have us as outsiders despite being last up winners.

Good. Happy to come in as underdogs.

Team wise... Surely Skelton has to get a run this week. Would you pick him over Luke L?

@tigerstu  That would depend on who else is available. No May or Toa and we may need them both. 

Apparently this is the team:

Skelton must be playing centre to try and match Latrell for size. 

Reserves: 
20. Bunty Afoa 
21. Tino Tavana 
22. Tony Sukkar 

Is Tony Sukkar recovering from injury? I would have thought he would be higher up the list of 1st team candidates than #22.

It’s the best team in who’s available. We’re stronger in the forwards and the halves but I worry about our backline. The key is to contain Latrell and drive Cody mental.

Still not sold on the bench. Madden or Hope, but not both. Charlie Murray on. How to get Bunty a run though?

I reckon Herbert and Afoa are a chance of a WT debut this week.

Campbell Graham out.
