    Shame KP took himself out. Brimson seems the obvious choice. I wouldve looked at Hammer at the back with Gagai at 3 but Bennett is moving Hammer to centre so that wont help.

    Anasta is kidding himself moving Munster back there. Munster at 1 for QLD and Hynes at 1 for NSW lol.

    Surely Billy can talk Ponga into playing.

    If it was a decider I'd say he would.

    I've been thinking more about Fittler and I'd forgotten he had picked McLean at one point which makes me wonder where the hell did he go in Fittlers thinking? Never got to play, yet moves on to more darts at the board.

    100% and not only that, does Wighton pull out this year if Freddy picks him in the 17 in game 3 last year?

    I think he still does. That had more to do with his decision to leave Canberra and felt he owed the club and Ricky his full attention before he does, imo.

    Graham is ruled out. If Haas is also we might have a good chance.

    Fittler is retarded. Feel sorry for Utoikamanu and Hynes. 12 minutes each and then dropped. Should never have been picked.

    Walker in for Luai. Bradman Best in for Turbo.

    If these predicted line ups are right, how on earth do you drop Utoikamanu for Leniu on what's transpired in the past month? Deadset dartboard shit.

    Actually like a couple of the changes, lol at Gutho/the bench and the 11th hour picks of Bradman Best and Jacob Saifiti who are obviously world beaters now they beat the bulldogs by 66 yesterday

    The bench is putrid. Also Freddy very much has form of picking players who are in teams going well and/or off the back of a big win, he's so reactionary and short sighted.

    Might be the first time I've ever actually hoped we get pumped.

    Ignoring the actual quality of the players picked which has been covered already, the balance is a fucking joke and the biggest issue with Fittler's teams.

    Surely the entire point of Gutho is that he can play hooker if there are no injuries and in the backs if there are, nullifying the need to take up an extra bench spot for that (or play Cook at centre :laugh:). And yet we've picked two hookers anyway. If there are no backline injuries then Gutho just won't play at all (or at least really shouldn't with two hookers and three locks in the side).

    We've only picked two props, and despite that we've also managed to only pick two second rowers.

    We've got three locks, but we'll probably use a hooker at lock for a third of the game anyway.

    Shambles.

    Lets get #punished here and put a line under the whole sorry era.
