Why take Currie out of the pack, to put Mata’utia in it?

Smithies has received a 1 match penalty notice. I'm not sure what this was for exactly? That's a blow.

No mention of Singleton from the match review panel which was a common sense decision in my view.

Looking at all the charges across the league just confirms where we’re at now and that is the game has become trial by tv. If you’re on tv, you’re far more likely to face issues. Last week there were 6 charges, with us getting 5 from our tv game and this week there is an absolute mountain, which is a result of the extensive tv coverage.

No idea who our forwards will be 4 missing and 1 gone home.

Unlike Sky lol

Smithies is a massive blow. I was at the game at had watch it back and didn’t notice the incident either time.

The battle between him, Byrne and Havard - young academy products vs Kasiano, Vaughan and McGuire 30+ year old NRL imports would have been fascinating.

I have little to no confidence in Mago and Singleton.

If we had Field playing id back us to pinch it.

Wire look the best team in the league at the minute and are at home so they are rightly favourites.

Should be an intense game in front of a big crowd!

Just seen he smithies incident, it was like a mini hip drop. Correct decision to ban him

Ellis to 13 IMO to replace Smithies.

We’ll have no Clark, Dufty, Bullock, Harrison, Dudson (no loss), Mikaele and Philbin. We will be struggling.

Currie will slot straight in on the left and mark King very well. He's rapid, safe under the high ball and better in defence than Mata'utia. Easy straight swap for Ratchford who's also been superb this year at centre.

What's wrong with Dufty?

Fair enough. At what point in the game did it happen?
