Robinson and Gibson likely out

Papali’i/Ioane/Sotutu trio with Lamborn on the bench would still be strong

@Duluth this is going to be tasty. I'm excited.

I'd like to see that backrow, but I can easily see us starting Lamborn at 7 and Papali'i at 6 to counter the Chiefs potentially having Cane and Boshier in their starting backrow.

BB vs DMac should be good. That will be a big talking point this week.

I've been re-watching the game from Sunday. BB dragged defences around, and committed players by his presence ... kind of like mid stage Lomu - just having in out there created space for others.

Hopefully the same happens again at the weekend

Should be another good crowd - 15k tickets already sold.

[Bovidae]

I am expecting the Chiefs to make a few changes. Cruden to start and possibly Alaimalo back in the mix.

I'm not sure on Brown's injury and was surprised nothing more came from that incident.

As it isn't Thursday yet.

Referee: Ben O’Keeffe
Assistant Referee 1: Mike Fraser
Assistant Referee 2: Paul Williams
TMO: James Doleman

anyway, with Ginge out we'll murder you lot, and prove last week was just all emotion and shit...

Blues by 15

Cruden to give away game defining try with a chip kick in his 22

[Stargazer]

@Kirwan Why?

Just as likely that Barrett concedes another penalty try because of a deliberate knock-down. It's a family trait.

Just a joke about your complaints about complaints about refs.

[Donsteppa]

I wonder if Supercoach has figured out yet that attack through the forwards is still attack.

[Tim]

Chiefs $1.71
Blues $2.05

[booboo]

Really?

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim weird odds considering how shit the Chiefs were last week. Lap it up Blues fans.

[Hooroo]

That is frustrating. After last weeks performance from both these teams I would have Blues favourites despite the loss of that red headed chap.

Blues 13+ could even be a good bet.
