Big chance Ponga and Jermaine aren’t right to play

Seems early to call this? Surely they will give them time close to game day.
Im hoping this call is made based on defense. The biggest loss imo is browns defense verse what Sandon provides. With Lucas out also, that left edge is weaker in D also. Tough call, what side of the field is our best in defense now? Manu and bradman, or mckewen and gagai / hunt? It's pretty close I think, but I would be tempted to switch Sandon to the left, mainly due to most teams favoring their left (our right)? Sandon has a habit of rushing up hard, manu seems to have a similar instinct, could work out great or disastrous....
We might just run out our NSW cup team.... seriously we have the worst luck with injuries.

Starting side is a bit of guess work but Ponga starting, Gags playing question marks.
1 Ponga/Hunt/Votano, 2 Young, 3 Gags/Hunt, 4 Best, 5 Marzhew, 6 Sharpe, 7 Smith, 8 Mooney, 9 Crossland, 10 Jones/Hopwood, 11 Manu, 12 McEwen/ESL, 13 Croker, 14 Graham, 15 Frizell, 16 Hopwood/Jones, 17 Crouch/Cant/ESL, 18/19 Hunt, Votano, Cant, ESL
A lot of uncertainty but still a strong side based on recent efforts

Quads are challenging injuries. If Ponga has a strain he is missing a few weeks.

Starting to feel that way isn't it, lose and you're going to Canberra without a win in a month. Lose in Canberra and you're relying on getting it done against Titans and Manly to play finals.

I think we can beat the Raiders and i definitely think we can beat both the Titans and Manly, Manly aren’t the same anymore and whilst the Titans have gotten better I believe we can still win it.

Those big forwards are a bad match up for us, but the Broncos also have a habit of absolutely packing it in once finals are gone, so who knows.

I'd be way more confident if we were at home, they might have a go in front of their fans unfortunately.
Yeah at home against Titans and Manly on old boys day are the two wins I am pretty confident in getting us across the line.

I hope Ponga and McEwen are available. I’ll be more confident on a win if we have those two.
Obviously not ideal losing two of our best players, but when we get Jsaf back I still think we have a very competitive side. Was impressed with X-FACTOR Brodie Jones last weekend. I want the boys to start getting back to that second phase play.

If no Ponga I guess it has to be Hunt at fullback I guess. I think Votano has fallen off the perch altogether.

He’s been excellent in NSW Cup. I’d prefer to keep Hunt in the centres, Sharpe at 6 and bring him in.
