Dufty
Ashton
King
Ratchford
Thewlis
Williams
Hayes
Harrison
Walker
Crowther
Fitzgibbon
Holroyd
Currie

Powell
Bullock
Wood
Nicholson

Crowther Starting prop for me so we have a big body in Bullock coming off the bench, and for me Ratchford massively improves the right edge defensively and in attack, plus his kicking game and general in game kicking are invaluable.

No King tonight. Got a knock. Ratchford & Wrench as the centres.

Glad to have Ratchford back in, will miss kings workload though.

I haven’t seen a massive amount from Tai yet to convince me he’s a better option than Wrench - but it’s early days I suppose.

Reminds me, so far of a latter years Ryan Atkins, that's all I'm saying.

Tai only signed for 12 months didn't he? If he ends up back trying to get in the PNG franchise then we could start circling Zac Lomax (very good friends with Vaughan) who wants out of St George.

Yeh, I haven't noticed Tai make a pass yet either.

Nah Atkins was much more dynamic and strong, with quick play the balls.

That pocket dynamo Leon Hayes will make up any shortfall tonight.

Will be interesting seeing the team without Vaughan against a half decent Leeds.

Parramatta are offering him 700,000 per season for 4 years, can't see us getting him.

Also wasn't very complimentary about Dufty and with Duftys new deal there may be friction there.

But I think too much money and the dummy spitting he has done at the dragons not a fan of. Great player though but imagine he's staying in NRL, or swapping one red vee for another.
