Just saw the team and wondered the same thing.Waddell must be injured as he's not even in the extended squad
Or ... Des is playing the long game and wants to keep a number of players in some sort of match fitness?

Yeah makes sense to rotate the fringe players. Im happy for them to all get some game timeJust saw the team and wondered the same thing.

Our team looks fine to me. Having said that, Williams may well be the final piece of the premiership puzzle for the Raiders. And Wighton is seriously right up with Tedesco and Turbo as the NRL's hardest player to stop.Can’t see us troubling the faders with that side and our current form
We certainly look a lot weaker with 2 of our starting backs out. This was always going to be our weakness. We can cover the forwards and even the halves to a certain degree but we are very slim out wide. Im hoping for a good effort but winning would take an extremely smart game from us and on current form seems unlikely. As you mentioned we have an easier draw after this week only playing 3 of last years top 5 teams. 3 from 6 is a pass mark, if we can scrape a win then 4 from 6 is a flying start to the seasonCan’t see us troubling the faders with that side and our current form - but they do have trouble with us usually. After this game our draw becomes a hell of a lot easier and we could string together a nice run to build the confidence.
3 and 3 , if we lose, is still a reasonable base to launch from and we can only get better.
Hopefully Wighton is out with his eye. It was pretty bad and I would imagine it would completely close up during the week. Id be surprised if he plays and even if he does he will be playing with one eyeOur team looks fine to me.

Will be a good contest well worth watching!
A tad optimistic I think but you never know your luck in the big city.I have a funny feeling walker at centre and cust to 5/8.

Im watching the donkey's game and he hurt his shoulder in the 2nd half in a Darius boyd tackle.Must be rotating fringe players to give them all a run
I’ve never really seen an eye that bad that hasn’t got a fracture associated with it.Hopefully Wighton is out with his eye. It was pretty bad and I would imagine it would completely close up during the week. Id be surprised if he plays and even if he does he will be playing with one eye
