Are there enough fit players for this game?
  1. Gutho
  2. Sloan
  3. Allan
  4. Suli
  5. Finau
  6. LKT
  7. Flanno jnr
  8. Fifita
  9. Cook
  10. Klemmer
  11. Su'A
  12. RFM
  13. JDB

  14. Liddle
  15. Nick T
  16. Gular
  17. LPT
This is the team I'd pick assuming Couchman, Leilua, Lawson and Stewart are out and Val is in the QLD team but I guess Flanno will leave Allan on the wing and Nick T centre, Sele on the bench and Finau out.

Think your pretty close, would love to see Halangahu get a crack in place of RFM though. To be honest after watching the ressies yesterday and how much it fell apart when Ramsay went off and Sloan just couldnt put anything together I'd probably rather leaving Allan on the wing with Nick in centre again and Finau on the other. Think it's better for Sloan if he does a stint down there and gets his head back in it, then you could also get Sele back on the bench like you said, another middle against a big Canberra pack could help. Interesting team list this week.

I can see Lawrie and RFM back in the mix
You’re probably right but that is such a negative thing to do. RFM is gone at the end of the season and clearly Blocka is on the outer. Why play them?? Better off playing Nick and Jacob off the bench. Young and inexperienced no doubt, but fitness, desire and the future should play a part. Enough of this vanilla shit with RFM and Blocka, if they’re not good enough for 2026 then don’t play them now

Good call, either way I think NRL and ressies are going to be in a world of hurt this week and maybe more

A few outs but it gives those in NSW Cup a chance at NRL level again. I hope they rip in with hunger, desire & effort. I can't see Halangahu debut, especially v Raiders. I hope both Horsborough & Papali get picked for QLD.

Close I think.
I think Luch will play, Guler to start.
Bench
Vili/Loko
Hame
Nick/Ray

Training won't tell us much, I think a few will be rested early in the week.
 
Lawson fractured scapula - Expected to miss 5 weeks

Sloan must have Voodoo Dolls of all the other outside backs and he’s putting pins in them to get a bate in the side every other week
Shows you the courage of some players and makes that win all the more impressive and important because realistically we finished the last 15 min of that game with 12 fit players.
