No way Lee come straight back in. Klemmer, Ponga and DSaf all hopefully back in. Is Jones supposed to be right for next week? If so:

14. Crossland
15. JSaf
16. Thompson
17. Croker

18. Jones

Think Croker was too good to be dropped, same could be said for Thompson. Momo misses out for mine.

Jones is so far out of this discussion it's not even funny.

Barny to replace Fitz, Thompson is a definite in. Then it's a decision between Crocker and Momoisea, depending on what you want off the bench. Reckon Crocker has done enough to keep that last jersey

This spot on for me although I’d swap JSaf for his bro

Jones was one of the best trainers all off season and I saw him up close last week and he looks crazy fit.

I think they'll play him if fit, and he will show he has made as much progress as any of the other guys we have seen in the last 2 weeks.

Would consider Brodie but he should come back in via reserves.

Arguably no recognised second rower on the bench hurts us but J Saf has shown he can fill in in a pinch and I don’t like picking based on possible injuries.
 
I didn't realise To'o is out, that is massive for us.
We need to target their wingers, Stains is a weak link Imo, and whoever is on the other, Jennings maybe.
 
I don't think Leo and Croker should lose their spots on form. Jones will have to bide his time in reserves.

Brodie does a job, I don't reckon we'll be saying this once he gets into the team. Would be perfect to come in now but being short of a run, he probably does have to start in reserves and earn his spot back over the incumbent guys.

I remember Wayne Bennett talking about why he'd dropped some rookie who had played well the week before and he said he didn't like waiting till a rookie had a bad game to drop them. He said that giving them 2 or 3 games where they were trying their hardest and then sending them back to reserves with a list of things to work on was the best way to to introduce a young player to firstgrade, because they went back knowing they could hold their own, and not thinking they had failed.
The point being, it wouldn't be a bad thing to send Leo back to reserves with a list of things to work on improving. When we bring him back, he'll be ready to do even better.

Barnett wanna have a blinder. Is he coming off the bench to rest himself @ prop or Backrow?
 
Feels like we will have another couple of wins up our sleeve with Cleary, To’o and Fisher Harris out…can’t help but think we will go on a losing streak soon after based on past experience 🤣

Would like to see Simi at some point in the 14 jersey but don't see any reason in messing with a winning formula
