At 10:05 at Home on Saturday.
Gold Coast are presently 22nd, so it is a danger game. We're 12th.

[1] Our 3 senior emergencies are Reidy, Flynn Young and Zac Williams. One of them will probably not play, maybe two.

[2] Playing 3 rucks? I don't like it.

[3] I am a little surprised that neither of the Camporeale boys got a guernsey this week, but we seem to think we can play finals. I hope Cerra is as fit as he is supposed to be.
I hope that boys can show enough to be considered in the last few weeks.

[4] We haven't got many KP types in the seniors, what are we going to use for them in the 2's? The only height we have is our rucks.
Well, luckily Dane Harvey and Sam Paea are performing reasonably, even if Paea can't kick.

[5] Hopefully Tucker is fit to play, as we need a few old heads out there. He is doing more than Saady is at the moment.
I really hope Saady can show some form. I'd like to give one final game. But his form of late has been less than inspiring.
