I'd be very surprised if that's the team. The backrow is way too light. Canberra have a giant pack. We need another big bopper in there.
And even tho Hendo didn't go bad the other day, I think he is taking up a spot for no reason. Put Maubs to the bench for cover (including dummy half) and have 3 big forwards on the bench

Selecting Henderson is like playing with a 16 player handicap just to help the other teams a bit.

We looked small in comparison to the Souffs team last week too....

Moa & Taukeiaho should be in the run on side with Evans & Liu on the bench. I thought Aubusson was one of our best last Sunday he was better than Guerra so he would be in my back-row. No JWH & Nikorima at 5/8 are the problem & there is not much Robbo can do. Lucky for the Roosters Austin & Seizer are out so it evens things up.

fox sports.com.au is reporting that powerful forward Junior Paulo will leave the Eels at the end of this season, signing a two-year deal with the Raiders. Raiders are recruiting well.
