Latest injury update according to MWSE - I wonder if Brown's "injury" is to try and force the NRL's hand on Fainu when we name him today. Tangles may not be ready yet - maybe #nextweek

I think that there is zero chance of getting Fainu until Hastings is off the books. We will have to make him one of the 30 once a space becomes available.

Looks like Marty is still in the US!

From his Twitter

Another F***ING delayed flight which is highly likely to be cancelled due to mechanical issues. Now the last player stuck at @DENAirport with staff that has been patiently waiting for over 8hrs on the back of a cancelled flight yesterday! @UNITED is by far the worst airline ever!

This one is on the Kiwis as the Poms left after the game and are home already.

Don't we get compensation for Uate out for season due to rep injury or is that another "only if you're not Manly" rule.

 

[The Who]

Why didn't the Kiwis fly Air New Zealand? It's a much more reliable airline than United.

They're one and the same aren't they ?

So Marty is the last one left, how did that happen???

What was Barrett thinking

United is the $hittiest airline around, flight from Newark to Frisco was delayed leaving so missed our connecting flight, but our bags didn't, then cancelled on us twice in Frisco, no change of clothes for three days , never ever again

I like seeing Walkz at 5/8 with Hodko on the bench and Suli in the centres. We played our best footy with this side. Only concern is having two backs on the bench. If Kelepi is ready to go then I see him coming in for Wright on the bench. Other than that, I'd have T Wright replace Hodko at 14 but I can see why Barrett when for Trent instead. Might just be the best side that Baz has put out this year till date.

 

[Cliffymagic]

Fmd. Our only bright spark for ages and he is left out of the team....

 

[Bearfax]

He's got it partly right

Team just announced

Tom T
Jorge
Kelly
Suli
Parker
Walker
DCE
AFB
Fainu
Taupau
Thompson
Winterstein
Jake T

Trent
Matt Wright
Lane
Paseka

Good to see Walker at 5/8 but why oh why after seeing what Tom Wright did, would you not only leave him out of the run on side but also prefer Hodkinson and Matt Wright on the bench. Barrett has lost it.. He wants to be sacked. I hope he wakes up before the weekend.

 

[Cliffymagic]

Can see no point in hodko on the bench.

We might need some kicks for touch if we are behind with 20 to go.

 

[The Who]

I commend Twenty on his decision to play Walker at 5/8. Now we'll have some running options in the backline. Also in picking Fainu. I'm sure Tom Wright will be drafted into the top 17. I'm now looking forward to this match as I believe we'll put in an improved performance.
It will be interesting to see who is the goal kicker. I guess DCE will do it but maybe Walker will be given the role.

 

[Clay]

T-Bag has lost his marbles

Why can Fainu play this week and not previous weeks? We still have Brown and Hastings in the squad

 

[Bearfax]

Can see no point having Matt Wright on the bench
