In the doom, gloom and despair I thought it might pay to look forward rather than back so excuse my early start with this thread.
Im picking..
Bula
Alaimalo (if available, otherwise Stains)
Olam
Naden (selected with fingers crossed and everything puckered)
Lobb
Galvin
Sezer
Stef
Api
Klem (he is available isnt he?)
Sa Fainu
Seyfarth
Matamua
Twal
Pole
Sione Fainu (wasnt impressed last night though)
TDS? Latu? Other utility?
Im not happy picking Naden but he is miles ahead of next best centre (Stains/Faataape/Feledy).
Not happy picking Seyfarth but serious lack of back rowers.
Tricky choice of a utility/rest for Api on the bench. TDS and Latu have both been injured....other options? Would you risk Sullivan at dummy half?
Alaimalo will be out according to Benji's post game presser

Unfortunately the family and I are heading to Brisbane and the Gold Coast for a holiday from tomorrow so it is with great disappointment that I will miss this game.
I can’t see any upside to this.
I have seen worse from WAG's, her comments are pretty tame and not innacurate, however probably not going to be very helpful either.

it's actually quite common, has happened a few times in NRL and more so in other sports. Its usually only noticed when the wife has a high profile of her own, which is the case with Zoe.I’ve never seen this from the spouse of a coach of a professional team. I think it’s pretty embarrassing.I have seen worse from WAG's, her comments are pretty tame and not innacurate, however probably not going to be very helpful either.

I’m glad she has spoken out. She’s 100% right and the narrative on this needs to change not just for Benji but for all fathers in all professions.
