Real toss up whether we keep Mauro in there or give Lussick a run. IMO Lussick is the more devastating of the two, but we have gotten here off the back of hard work from Mauro

Pleased to see T-rex start ahead of Rodney, he deserves it.

Mauro probably deserves his spot more but I think Lussick would have more impact. I'm happy to see either get a run on Sunday but I think Lussick probably has the edge. In saying that, I suspect des will go with 1-17 leaving Lussick to rue what could have been had he not been suspended.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

It will be nothing to do with who deserves it.

The only issue is, will Lussick, who is very inexperienced at NRL level and hasn't played for a long time, be a better bet than Mauro, who has been playing week in week out and going very solidly indeed?

It's a tough call but I suspect Mauro might get the nod.

Luckily we have someone pretty smart making this decision.

 

[Jatz Crackers]

Same...i would be going with Lussick but Mauro has more games up and Des puts more stock in experience.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Pleased to see T-rex start ahead of Rodney, he deserves it.

No guarantee it'll happen that way on Sunday

 

[DSM5]

I'd start with Rodney, with Rex on the bench. Has George shown enough over Lussick and Mauro? Choices, all good. Any player will do it for us. There's not a weakness. The Checchin factor weighs heavily on my thoughts.

 

[Jatz Crackers]

Theres only two possible changes:

1) Rodney in Trex to bench
2) Lussick bench Mauro to miss out

1 is more likely than two, but i dont think either will happen.

 

[eagleE]

I would like to see Rodney start with Williams coming on at about the 30 min mark.
I think Lussick is the better out of the rest. I do think that Des will give Mauro a go. They are both a bith like Choc with giving penalties away. Hope it doesn't happen this weekend.

 

[DSM5]

Does George do enough to warrant his bench spot? Lussick and Mauro are certainly mobile

 

[Disco]

Im certain Rodney will start.

Lussick or Mauro.......................thats anyone's guess

 

[voicefromthehill]

George will be in, not sure of this talk of who will Des give a go? You don't give someone a go in the gf you pick the best team!

 

[Mybludog]

I think he'll start T-Rex.

Need some size out there to start with. Those Warrior forwards will be running at a 100 miles an hour early in the game

 

[tookey]

It will be sad for whichever 2 players miss out as they all deserve to be in the team.

I just hope that the NRL give us 21 rings this year so that kingy.wolfie also get a ring
