I bet your daughters are proud of you!

So what do we think of the 19 man squad for Saturday?

I’m presuming Ackers is injured but I’m surprised he’s dropped Oledzki and Batchelor. Of course I’m biased but Batchelor is coming off the back of an outstanding season.

Seriously, no one would breed with this half wit. He's too far gone to have got on Jeremy Kyle ffs

Agreed. Bathecolor has been excellent and should be in ahead of McMeeken. I do think KPP offers something different but may be found wanting at this level atm

Ackers missing is a real shame. Picking Mcmeeken over Batchelor is hardly a game changer. Cooper's stats are very strong so again I'm not sure him playing instead of Oledzki matters too much.

If Wane goes Tomkins, Welsby, Williams I think its a big gamble. Personally I think Sneyd needs to play with his kicking game.

I agree about Sneyd especially if its poor conditions too. His goal kicking is also a huge bonus. I can't see him not playing Tomkins or Williams so where does that leave Welsby? I can't see Welsby not in a 17.

Wane did mention a couple of niggles, so presumably Oledzki would be one. I’d have had both Ackers and Batchelor in the 17 but maybe one or both is in the same boat. It’s a long tournament either way and you can guarantee that the side which plays on Saturday will change throughout and players will get opportunities to make themselves a certainty.

The two glaring ones everyone has mentioned
Micky mac instead of Ackers is obsurd..
Bachelor is way ahead of some of those other guys so maybe a niggle for him

Who is Batchelor way ahead of? Certainly not Radley, Whitehead and Knowles.

Wane may play Knowles at second row to get him and Radley in the team.

Can't see that. I think it is more likely that Knowles will start on the bench and will come on as an interchange 9 to spell McIllorum. He's played 9 a few times at Saints.

Whitehead definately, had a poor last couple of seasons at canberra.
