Not a bad side if Lagi was on the bench. No Anderson is somewhat of a surprise. EDIT: Missing from the team is prop Scott Anderson, who will be out for three weeks with an elbow ligament problem. Broncos site
Same. Beale can only really cover fullback and is inadequate everywhere else. Gillett can cover any position he wants too so Norman is probably the better option.
Yeah both are there to probably cover Kenny/Winterstein/Wallace/Hoffman if there is an injury. Glenn would probably move to bench if Kenny is not fit.

He is lucky that Anderson is out, otherwise he wouldn't be there. How he is in more favour than Sims I dont know...
**** Setu off already, remember the offload on Sunday? In our 1st set I think, he was carrying 3 defenders and in our own half. He attempted a shitty offload and turns over the ball. While if he took the tackle he would have made about 12m and taken a few guys out of the defence. Such a dumbshit. I cant understand why the Roosters want him, he is useless. They have good back row stocks anyway.
