Hoffman has come good over the past few months after a shit start, besides, if Hoffman's dropped, who plays centre? It was always going to be between Mead and Don. And I have NFI why Henry has decided Don wins out. Don is always going to be a guy who will only offer the ability to trip over the tryline, Mead brings so much more to the table. Surely Mead is injured or something, unless Henry thinks Don will nullify some event in the game that is playing out in his head, and it's worth it.
Hoffman out, Nene to C, Mead on W. But yeah I'd just drop Don. I'm assuming it's because Mead is probably leaving so he'll keep playing Don, but Mead is better in every way than Don.
Yeah, pretty ridiculous selection policy when you're in the top eight though. Not time to be thinking about next season yet; Mead should be playing.
Especially when we still need to win or have other results go our way to stay in the 8. Terrible call from Henry.
Leaving can't be the reason, as McDonald is off to Dragons next season, yet has been selected. Where is Mead going anyway, Force?
Don't think anything c'd yet of him leaving, but he wants FB and won't get it with Hayne so it's very likely he's leaving.
Just on the Titans backline I reckon it's a horrible decision to let Nene leave early. Even with Hurrell I reckon he's your best three quarter.
I like all the Queensland teams, but I have to back the Titans this time because they need this win more. Would be sick to see all 3 Queensland teams in the top 8 this year.
Hope to win this because it'd suck ass to have to play the Titans two weeks in a row if Canberra ended up winning.
That's fucking ridiculous from Tamou. 18 to go, up by 8 and you're pushing passes like that. Fmd. Play smart ffs.
