Good to Ellis getting game and ditto another opportunity

When it's all said and done, no surprises - safe and predictable

BAD LUCK: Griffiths, Drummond OUT - injured

BAD: Newman, Chaplin IN ... McDonough OUT

OK: Vickery IN - replacing Griffiths ... Gordon OUT - thought he was better than Lloyd

What would you have gone with?

Agree with you, safe and predictable!

Grigg, Batchelor get matches based on what?

What sort of chances are you talking about, thought Foley may have got a spot but apart from that i cant really think of anyone else playing well enough to come in.

How the hell does Lloyd get a game?
The 2 dropped are pretty stiff

[dwaino]

After Lambert and Drummond I fear for Ellis.

[🏅Dooks]

Vickery hey? 

We are in big stuffing trouble people

 I would have dropped Astbury for Grimes

 I would given Arnott another game

And I would have dropped Morris for Foley

Reckon they're planning on Morris going to Johnson and won't that just be Terrific, just TerrificTM

About time Lennon got a crack at it, and some very handy returns thank you , boy did we miss chappy and newy and can't wait to see Ellis unveiled 

[big tone]

Surely if Grimes is fit he plays in front of Batchelor?
With Batch, Chaplin and Astbury down back we are extremely slow. And throw in Vlastuin and Houli and we arnt very quick at all. Need an injection of speed in this backline and side in general.
There is a kid on the rookie list that could add that?? But that may mean someone has to make a tough call.
Axel in front of Grigg, Lloyd, Houli would have been nice too.

Anyway good to see Ellis and Lennon. Let's hope both are there for the next 10 years.
