Hutch dropping out must mean that Keary is close to 100% fit and is in no doubt for the game. That’s great news.

Agreed re keary but I can’t understand why hall is in the squad the bloke is a has been who could he possibly be cover for?

Lots of talk that Isaac Liu is struggling with a leg injury. Being told he hasn’t trained a lot this week. Guess we will know more tomorrow. Friend looks certain to play now he is in 19. Reckon Verrills will make final cut too

Why would they drop Collins if Liu is a risk of not playing?

Daniel Tupou had a big bandage on his leg on Friday walking to training ... maybe that’s why Hall is still there????

Mentioned Liu looked pretty sore post game last Saturday with a knee injury, would be surprised if he didn't play given its a GF, no doubt he will be sore though.

Everyone knows Toups has been carrying a groin injury hopefully he has 1 good game left in him this year.

A little surprised Collins was dropped

I agree, maybe Liu is not as bad as the reports are suggesting.

Looks like Jake the rake gets to eat his cake.
Welcome back skip!

Wonder which forward drops out. Interesting, but disappointment for someone.

It would have to be Verrills unfortunately. Radley will relieve Jake if he has to
