Still no big Frank though. Really want to see him run out, but i guess he will get his chance soon, when JK thinks the time is right.

Glad to have you back BD & TM!

From what i have read about the last reserve game Big Frank needs to improve his fitness.

That squad is now looking tasty as we get some players back. Just hope we dont go down the same route as last year and let the results slip.

Who is still missing, Bibey, Moore, Petersen, who else?

Stosic and Rooney (forgotten man), the key issue is 3 of those are props and have a lot of value.

Yes Frank looks out of practice though it really is hard to gauge a player from a reserve game TBH.

I agree i'd be very surprised if we don't see him Monday to freshen up the forwards. Glad to see Aaron Murphy has kept his place, i've been impressed with him so far.

Some hard decisions this week with Martin and Drew back.

Not for me,

Obst and Martin at half back, Drew at 9 with Latu and Brough to fight it out for a bench spot.

I hear Richard Moore is back in training.

You heard wrong, he played in the Academy last saturday

very hard to select a team i think its a dilemma indeed do we go with drew obst and latu 3 hookers to run there big pack about or risk the chance of being steamrolled by them i wouldnt like to be picking the team this week but i would go for

Might seem a bit controversial to some dropping Brough but we have been winning games under the direction of Drew, Obst and Martin and I see no reason to change the playmaking combination that worked assuming they are all fully fit. This will be our toughest game of the two over Easter and I think we need the wile of Drew and Martin to get us over the line, we could then rest one of them on Monday in the easy game.
