Nofa out with concussion?
I prefer Gildart out, Peachy in the centres, Madden to the bench.
Will miss LL big time
Stefano UTOIKAMANU... i love him..
Expect changes ?????
Doesn’t really matter the 17 imo. We are gonna lose this one. The last 3 weeks have been intense. Now watch us crumble.
Keep steering the right path

Day game v Turbo scares the crap out of me as well .....can see Koula making a mess of Gildart as well
Anyone in reggies looked good at fullback ...move Toa back to the centres
hope turbo is underdone, it could get ugly
hypothetical - if we lose another forward this week from 1-17 named who would join the bench? Sure we are not looking at all likely for finals this year but given the long injury list I can actually accept that outcome this time around. We have never had so many injuries.

Agreed. Before a ball was kicked this year, my interpretation of this year was it was a "development" season to transition to a stronger season next year. A year of getting Hastings, AD, Laurie etc established with Api & IP joining next year. Having said that the performance in the first 5 rounds was pathetic and below acceptable, but the last three weeks is about as good as we can expect and like you say with the injury toll we are fighting up hill.
If somehow we can claw a win or two over the next month and then start to get our better players back, it could actually be the sort of trial by fire that sets us up for the end of year and next season.
The centres are a concern, especially Gildart.
Good to see Utoikamanu back and firing, we seem to have plenty up front now.
Peachey needed to be there last week, let’s hope he can finally contribute something to the team.

Take Turbo out of the Manly backline and they are about our level. Our bench looks solid. Hopefully the Peach turns up to play rather than niggle.

And the two backrowers .....Taupau ....Keppie .....and we tend to make Harper look like Inglis
