Yep, agree - the pack we've ended up with has more than enough to take theirs on or down. Sucks Demi isn't there - but this will trigger capes back to the pack with Marata moving into the middle. Agree that Freddy likely to drop off now too, with a different contingency for hooker cover... and we get Eddie at centre (a good thing!)
I dunno. I think Freddy will stay on as the bench DH cover since Healey likely doesn't play 80. I think we roll with the 2 forward bench. Given everything that has happened to our outside backs this year, we really need a utility back cover as well. I find Holic's scenario to be way too far fetched. Although I would like to see TT at the back, I don't think he gets any game time unless there is another injury to the backs mid game (fingers crossed).

I like this pack too, although I would like to see Bunty start for this one and TSS comes off the bench. As for the lack of size, I swear this is the 2nd or 3rd post on every thread on here. As a fan base, we always use this as an excuse for games where we don't win the middle. But the fact is that under webby, we've had one of the smaller, more mobile packs in the comp for the last 3 years and have had no problem making meters. Last year I think we came close to topping the running meters and this year I think we are up there again in the meterage stats. Problem isn't really our lack of size, it's our lack of physical intent in games where we got outmuscled (ie Penrith and Brisbane Away games).

We've shown all year that we can outmuscle even the biggest packs in the comp (ie Cronulla and Brisbane Home Game) if we show up with the right physical attitude. That's what we have to do tomorrow. If we do that, I give us every chance to win this very important game.

This is actually a good and fairly exciting side tho.
Also Taines only loss where he’s started at fullback for us, was that close loss in Melbourne last year
I think he was FB when we lost to the Sharks in Rd1 at MSS last year. But I agree with your general pt that he hasn't ever let us down when he has been put in that position.
