I think you'll see the same side as I don;t think we have any better cover in our weak areas than we put out on Friday. If Gleeson is fit then fair do's, that solves some problems. Should Gleeson not be ready then the only change I'd make is to put Bridge at centre from the off & Johnson on the bench.

Penny/King partnership doesn't seem to have really worked - even for most of last year.

With a very fast winger - you need a solid defensive centre.

In that case King needs to be released as I believe we need Pennys speed more than what King brings.

Surely we could afford a solid defensive centre to partner Penny if we got rid of King.

Also, after seeing Kings interview on sky pre match, I believe he would probably love a return to the NRL.

Jimmy didn't employ King or Monaghan so he doesn't have to justify anything.

I know that - I was just moaning.

Reardon won't be fit for yonks, he did his leg way after Bridge, months later, so he'll be a good way off yet. Once he is 'fit', your looking at him needing reserve fixtures etc before he'll see SL, so I think it's safe to discount him for a while.

If Gleeson isn't fit, maybe go same again, possibly Anderson for Blythe, Blythe bench for Harrison or something like that. Give the players another chance to show what they can do etc.

I cant believe we gave this guy a new contract.
