At some stage, we will let ourselves down and sh!t the bed. With this team, that is a given. Until then, let’s have as much fun as we can.
The most fun is to win next week and have a home semi final. I vote for that.
Week 2 final for me is a pass mark anything else further is a bonus
 
I reckon we go with Tolu at the back. Least disruption possible to the backline by keeping Hoppa, Talau and Garrick in the positions they been in all year.
Pretty sure that's how Seibold will go. Not sure I agree, but it has some force to it.
 
I personally want Lehi at fullback and Humphreys on the bench, but unfortunately I think this is the team we end up with:

1. Koula
2. Faulalo
3. Talau
4. Garrick
5. Hopoate
6. Brooks
7. DCE
8. Paseka
9. Croker
10. Lodge
11. Olakau'atu
12. Lawton
13. Jake
14. Ben Trbojevic (backs cover you would think)
15. Josh Aloiai
16. Ethan Bullemor
17. Nathan Brown
Think this will be close to it, though won’t be surprised if Sipley gets into the 17, his stats yesterday were very good in NSW cup.

Brooks and DCE have both floated at times on both edges, with Turbo out we may see these two swap edges throughout this game..
 
Here is the current Brookvale weather forecast for Sunday's game:

I think this is how we will line up
1.Koula
2.Faulalo
3.Taulau
4.Garrick
5.Hopoate

What about (don’t think Garrick will move to wing)
1.Koula
2.Garrick
3.Taulau
4.B Trobjevic
5.Hopoate

Another option:
1.Hopoate
2.Faulalo
3.Koula
4.Garrick
5.Taulau

Another option:
1.Hopoate
2.Garrick
3.Koula
4.B Trobjevic
5.Taulau
Another option:
1. Hopoate
2. Faulalo
3. Garrick
4. Talau
5. Koula
 
Don't forget the X-factor Wardell will be fresh for week 1 of the finals. We all love the 1 or 2 dropped balls unforced errors that he brings to the game.
 

They clipped the end off the Saab sentence.

Saab will have scans this afternoon on a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss a couple of weeks, but will be available for selection in the grand final.

Do we rest players …and possibly lose but be fresh for first game of the semis and play away?
OR
Do we have a punt and play our best side.. risk injuries .. but have a chance of a home final at Brookie?

Umm bet with you head not over it !!

Just sayin’
I’ll take option 2 thanks Eddie.
We’ve waited so long for rule changes and a chance of a semi at Brookie.
Especially after the excellent turn outs we’ve had this year…even when we were average.
The faithful deserve it.

If all we get is a home semi it’s a huge thank you to the faithful who have excelled themselves in 2024 by almost selling out the season.

Just asking, if we did make the GF, would you put Saab in and take out a bloke that has helped get you there?
