Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2597955, member: 1899"] You may as well wait until Thursdays because that's the real teamlist day during the Origin period. However, as it stands... Bulldogs/Raiders, Warriors/Broncos, Storm/Eels, Knights/Cowboys are all interesting games. Raiders couldn't have picked a better time to face the Dogs who are down on troops and beginning to luck very very average. Unfortunately for them, they're also without two of their better forwards in Papalii and Vaughan and it appears Ricky isn't going to go with young talent like Mago and is instead opting for the safe approach with Foster. In addition, the only real change he's made to the side that was easily beaten by the Broncos was the omission of Robinson for Allwood who will be playing out of position on the wing. It just seems so strange, a lot of the issues are there starring Ricky in the face and he won't budge. Interesting test for the Broncos on Saturday. All of their past four games have been against opponents they've been expected to beat but they'll be really up against it v the Warriors without a few key players and their Origin representatives. They'll give it a red hot go but if the Warriors that beat Newcastle turn up, I can see it being a long afternoon for Griffin's men. I'm really interested to see how the Eels will do in Melbourne. I imagine both Slater and Hayne will struggle to back up and while there were a lot of positives to take out of Sunday's performance for Parramatta, I can't help but think the Storm will be a much bigger test for them. However, this is also going to be a good evaluation of Melbourne. The Storm team of the past would have found a way to win this, if they struggle here then 2014 maybe the year for them to miss out. Knights/Cowboys is much of the same. Interested to see how the Cows will travel on the road. If JT backs up, this game will definitely be interesting, if not, Newcastle maybe able to snap their seven game losing streak. Either way, cannot believe this side from Bennett. [/QUOTE]
