Watts very still. Wasn't his best game last week but he has been better than George most of the year.

[mightytiges]

Interesting.

Has Broad been brought in to play 2nd ruck as it seems or does he go back into defence and Balta moves up the ground?

[pmac21]

I'd say he's in to ruck. 
Pickett very lucky, not picking Caddy a mistake.

I'd say he's in to ruck.

We may get away with Broad against the Saints missing Ryder but will it cut it against Port and Brisbane who both have two genuine rucks? Anyway, let's hope it works tomorrow night  .
 

Pickett very lucky, not picking Caddy a mistake.

I'd say Caddy will be brought back in against Port if we get that far.

[Knighter]

Bachar and Cantstandya very lucky to stay in.  Markov and Aarts very stiff to miss.

[Diocletian]

Watts very still

Probably had a few too many while enjoying his retirement...

[The Machine]

Interesting.

One or the other for sure

[lamington]

Broad surely to ruck. Balta owns his KPD position

[Fluffy Tiger]

Stupid autocorrect.

 Aarts very unlucky.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Broad surely to ruck. Balta owns his KPD position

Surely not.

Balta is a supreme athlete who can go match it any contest with ruckmen. Gets up very well at the centre bounce. There's a chance he can actually give us first use at times.

Broad in to play his natural role. Not a great deal of height up forward, so the back 6 should be able to cope if/when Balta goes into the ruck.

[WilliamPowell]

Glad to see Broad back.

Will probably play 2nd ruck.

But just gives us another option down back
