If all fit then;-

Grix

McGilvery
Cudjoe
Lawrence
Hodgson

Brown
Brough

Mason
Lunt
Griffin
Gilmour
Fa'alogo
O'Donnell

Robbo
Faiumu
Crabtree
Patrick

I agree with the post above but start robbo instead of Lunt, and Mason out for ferguson

Possibly however I think Raleigh did enough yesterday to keep his spot and with Mason out we need a more solid hard worker rather than an impact prop which I feel Patrick is. That would allow Eorl to play more an impact role rather than the grafting role he played last year. However reading the Examiner it appears that Fa'alogo will probably miss out so move Horne or Ferguson into 2nd row and Patrick on the bench, or Gilmour into 2nd row and Cudjoe or Wardle to centre or..... my head hurts, It's no wonder NB lost all his hair.

From reading t'Examiner it seems Mason is going to be out quite a while, potentially the season. If so someone else is going to have to fly out of the defensive line to whallop the first receiver! He will be missed but it's a chance for someone else, as NB would say.

I got 13 out of the 17.
10 starters correct and 3 interchange.


If Nathan had picked my team we would have won by 29 points....

...and i would have lost my bet.......Giants to win by 16-20 points at 7/1

Hee Hee...I just keep betting on robbo and mcg to score each game. It pays for the beers.

Fiver on Scott Grix as 1st tryscorer at hills 16-1 then thought better of it and changed it to McGilvery at 12-1 grrrrrrrrrr £83 down swanny but win made up for it!!!!

i had same problem too.....was just about to write Grix then changed it to Robbo for better odds

i as on at 6/4 for the win
