I feel a bit sorry for Jenkins. Just as he was gaining his confidence and ball security, Bizza is back. But he will provide good depth during state of origin.

I would be surprised if both Schneider and Jenkins end up on the bench. I expect that one would be dropped, most likely Jenkins.

Jenkins on bench is waste need another forward glad Luron retained his spot

I suggest Jenkins on the bench is to cover for To’o’s (that was a lot of apostrophes lol) lack of match fitness. Having not played for 6 weeks or so he may only play for 30 minutes or so before Milky comes on.

Jenkins on the bench is to allow Garner to move into the second row at the right time.

I suggest Milky is there as cover for Bizza if he doesn’t make the final side

Am I the only one who prefer to see Toelau over Schneider?

I’m sure the bench won’t include Jenkins and Schneider.

Glad to see Luron there. Well earned!

The number 14 is certainly a contentious position isn’t it?

Schneider - a running, defensive half, ok at hooker
Tokelau - an immature half, who shows promise at hooker
Sommerton - a good back up hooker
Cole - ok half, ok hooker
Laurie - mediocre back

I would be surprised if Schneider is not 14.

Looking at today’s updated team list, I would say Schneider no 14, Eisenhuth onto the bench and Sommerton the 18th man. I suspect that Jenkins will miss out this week.

Didn’t see the game, but Flegg beat West Tigers 40-20 at Parker St last night. Couple of late tiges tries made the final score closer.

Watched the last 50’ of Cup from Tamworth. Panthers beat West Magpies 40-16. Looked pretty good, a bit too much class for the pies, with part-time 1sts players Casey McLean, Laurie, Cole & Toelau showing they are a step above Cup level. Big Preston Riki bagged his first try for the year.

I’m with Gogatee. Nothing against Schneider, but I think Toelau offers more. He had a rough night against Souths (he wasn’t the only one, either!), but he’s done well every other time he’s been in the side.

I never mind Huth on the bench

While he is not flashy, he’s always a hard, solid, dependable player with limited mistakes.

Reasonable first half. We are winning the arm wrestle. Would prefer to be more than 6 ahead with the amount of possession we have had.

19

I’m sitting here watching swearing at the TV.

First try had a pass go 3metres forward and then a basketball pass that I thought looked sus.

Now the try to go from 18 to 24 points went fwd and not picked up.

Momentum has been lost :see_no_evil:

And missed offside for Bateman picking up the ball which should have been a penalty at the death.

Be lucky to get out of jail here.
