I can't see them going with Buhrer and Randell on the bench. If Buhrer is fit, Randell should make way for a prop - either one will do.

I can see Hodkinson and Starling coming into the he side on game day for Randell and Feeney, no way that bench is the one we take into the game it is far too small.
 
2nd half is definitely a massive concern for us, seen something interesting today that if we only include the first half then we would be fourth on the ladder! Hopefully Brown starts teaching them to play for the 80! Something we havent been able to do since i can remember!
 
The penalty goal didn't really effect last game because it was like a minute out from half-time, there was gonna be no momentum lost whether we took it or not. What did happen was we came out in the second half & started playing to defend the score, Feeney admitted that in his press conference.
 
I saw the kick at goal as a sign they weren't playing anymore football. They were well on top & should have been more than confident of getting a try, but they took the easy option & that was the last we saw of them playing football

That is all true, although because of half-time, it wasn't the classic situation of us going well, getting a penalty & taking the goal, losing all momentum immediately as we run a weak set back from kickoff & hand over the ball. It's very often how we lose possession in the middle of a game because we don't decide to go for the try or repeat set. The only way we can win is to have heavy possession, we just can't handle it when the other team has the ball.

Brown loves his midget men on the bench, and really what choice do we have? Paea, Mataoara and I cant even think of a 3rd option all stink up the joint.
 
Would prefer gagai to wing, wardle to centre sio out, Randell out, starling and mataora to bench.
Sio, Randell, Hodko, Stone to res.
 
Happy to see Buhrer back, hopefully he can come back into the side and tighten up the edge defence, really pivotal game this is if we want to avoid the spoon.
 
Quinny the NRL direct a 21 man squad be named, and the final 17 come from there. But I don't think either will be there on play day.
