Navale in for GCKT. Simpkins can go 80 mins.I reckon that's as good a list as currently possible, except Navale is a must for a bench spot.

You forgot to add our dumb arse Ailoia in the absentees list also.I'm going to have a guess after yesterday that the injuries to Paseka, Sips and Waddell will keep them out for the game against Souths (thankfully we have the bye the week after). That's in addition to losing DCE, Jake and Haumole to Origin and Garrick to HIA.

I think the former Centre of Excellence himself, Hank Scorpio Parker, will make his return to first grade in the back row (like Burbo, he can also cover the backs). Other than former Bulldog Schoupp (damn its strange having someone who isn't a former Wests Tiger.....), the rest of those needed because of injury and Origin hitting at the same time will probably be on the bench.
I also expect Brooks to get the captaincy. He's easily the most experienced player out there and as the chief playmaker for the day will probably be leading the side around anyway.
If Schoupp doesn't get the vacant centre spot, I'd expect Talau to be moved infield and either Ray or Paulo to come in on the wing.

Yep @XV-1 Matterson and Woods are both injured as well.I notice Matterson is not in this team.
Is he injured?
Yep. Parker is a back row/utility these days.I’d probably swap Schoup and Parker. I think Parker has utility value after transitioning to the back row in Reggie’s this year. Schoup is a centre, so I’d put him there. But I do feel more comfortable with that 17 overall. I’m not sure we can carry Gordie when we don’t have a strong team around him at this stage.
It’s just Parker’s experience in firsts that I like, and he helps that inexperienced bench look slightly more solid, IMO.
So... swap Shoup and park Parks on the bench? Sounds good 😉I’d probably swap Schoup and Parker
Have I missed any player here? If not, this is our current injured/suspended list. Arguably, 10-11 of them are in our best seventeen.Yep @XV-1 Matterson and Woods are both injured as well.
That's a huge list, that's a whole side and 2 on the bench. Should see at least 7 off this list after the bye.Have I missed any player here? If not, this is our current injured/suspended list. Arguably, 10-11 of them are in our best seventeen.

Better but a Souths guernsey mate…..Bruh. Souths 30+ Just hope our for and against doesnt take a hit. If Manly win i will run Manly to Palm Beach naked or even worse with a souths jersey on.
18 minsDid Uesele get many minutes?
If they crowd Walker he'll get frustrated and it will put him off his game, once he gets crazy eyes he's fkdJai Arrow, Campbell Graham and Havili are also amongst their injured.
You are right Walker is the man most likely to cause us grief.
Please don't 🤢Bruh. Souths 30+ Just hope our for and against doesnt take a hit. If Manly win i will run Manly to Palm Beach naked or even worse with a souths jersey on.
