So that's how the NRL decide which storyline they are going with each year. Good news for us!

Sammy gave away to Andy Raymond the strat tonight is holding the ball. Looks like error mitigation and completed sets will be the flavor of the evening. Seems pretty typical for Round 1

[Big Pete]

No late changes, both teams will line-up 1-17.

See ya'll on the other side.

 

[Wild Horse]

So it begins.. I'll be watching our bench players as keenly as our run on team. Hope TP has a confidence building game tonight.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Good old Bennett, calm as ever.
