Shame Buttriss is out for 3 weeks. I think he has been the strongest of the three hookers this season.
1. Lachlan Coote 2. Brad Tighe 3. Michael Jennings 4. Adrian Purtell 5. Michael Gordon 6. Wade Graham 7. Luke Walsh 8. Matthew Bell 9.Kevin Kingston 10. Petero Civoniceva 11. Frank Pritchard 12. Trent Waterhouse 13. Luke Lewis Interchange 14. Travis Burns 15. Gavin Cooper 16. Nathan Smith 17. Sam McKendry 18. Masada Iosefa 19. Frank Puletua 20. Daine Laurie 21. David Simmons 22. Sandor Earl
Matthew Bowen, Ashley Graham, Arana Taumata, Willie Tonga, Will Tupou, Grant Rovelli, Johnathan Thurston, Matt Scott, Aaron Payne, Willie Mason, Scott Bolton, Leeson Ah Mau, Steve Rapira. Interchange: Anthony Watts, Dane Hogan, Carl Webb, James Tamou.
Eels by plenty, Rovelli being in there speaks for itself though that likely isnt the same team thats gonna take the field.
The Eels have scored like 12 points total in 3 weeks or something haven't they? I wouldn't worry too much...

Cowboys have either been embarrassed or lost a game after leading by a decent margin, not like theyve been any better. Parra are notorious for bringing their best against us.
1. Anthony Minichiello 2. Phil Graham 3. Kane Linnett 4. Shaun Kenny-Dowall 5. Sam Perrett 6. Todd Carney 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. Jason Ryles 9. Jake Friend 10. Nate Myles 11. Frank Paul Nuuausala 12.

Tim has a high ankle strain, basically it is the same injury that Jamie Lyon has. No firm time for recovery has been given. I guess that means at least 4 weeks but it could be up to 8 or so weeks. On the Panthers team, obviously a lot of players there for cover. Earl & Simmons are obviously for Jennings and Gordon. Nice to see Daine Laurie is still alive doubt he will play though nor do I want him to.
Yeah I do hope. Has made a name for himself as well. We can cope without him for a little while but he has really established himself as a first grader this season.
