Yes, Cant out with a calf tear confirmed by Toohey. ESL will come into the side. Will be interesting to see how they line up.

Seriously. He's been sitting on the bench waiting his chance, bow this. Esl has been going well in reggies. Deserves a shot too.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

Jesus ****ing Christ dude we can not catch a break.

 

[slotmachine]

There doesn’t appear to be so much a lack of talent but maybe coaches are just to quick to give up on guys or theres not enough good coaches

Andrew Webster seems to be an absolute halfback whisperer. If the warriors ever get sick of him the NRL should give him a bag to set up a halves academy of some sort.

Wasn’t Gould talking about doing that at Penrith years ago from memory?

 

[Lefty]

With Cant being out for several weeks, it gives ESL more experience in first grade which will help improve our depth.

Yo that's huge news

 

[Beer Me Strength]

So who comes into the run on side? ESL surely not straight in is he?

 

[frankLauda]

Well few on here saying ESL should be getting picked. Now’s his opportunity. Feel for Cant that sux.

Manu or ESL

 

[KPGreatness]

ESL probably deserves it but I’ve actually enjoyed him much more at lock than second row.

Now that’s the left side which Manu plays and he has been huge in reserve grade but I’m still skeptical about his stamina despite a few big minute performances in cup.

Feel for Cant, didn’t want him in the side but finally having his chance and it goes away via injury is heartbreaking for him, hope he is fine.

Manuleleua starting, ESL onto the bench
No other changes

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

Francis starts and ESL on bench. Toohey just confirmed.

 

[Lefty]

Manuleleua to start.

[frankLauda]

Picking Cant originally was the right choice because he has the most FG experience. Manu and ESL hardly any, so a starting spot is throwing one of them into the deep end.

 

[Les Misérables]

Can Manuleleua be expected to play more than 20 mins on the edge without becoming a liability?

Perhaps the best use of Manuleleua is a short 15 min stint. Bring ESL on to finish the half. And bring Manuleleua back on with 15 mins to go in the 2nd half

 

[frankLauda]

Frizz and Lucus both have high work rate, that’s what we will miss most. So yeah asking a lot of Manu and ESL. The other forwards and our wingers will need to pull the slack. Fingers crossed the two new boys can hold there own.

 

[Macca89]

Let's just hope we don't cop any injuries, really over that.

Put the mocker on before the game has even started

 

[MattyM]

We need JSaf, Mooney, Sharpe, Brown and our young bench forwards to have the games of their lives today otherwise this one is gonna hurttttt.

So in saying that, Knights 13+.

 

[KPGreatness]

This game has the makings of being able to make me lose it.

I honestly think at full strength we win easily, hope we can pull it off anyway.
