Some guesses for this weeks selection
I presume Lam and Zarn will be missing? Maybe Telea too? So a back three of Clarke, Forbes & Tangitau/Heem?
Ofa should come back. Maybe Papali'i's turn on the bench if they are comfortable having Angus as captain?
McWhannell had a strange game he did a lot right but wound up on the wrong side of a lot of missed tackles. Perhaps he drops back to the bench and Beehre starts?
Oh and back to a 5/3 split. Cashmore to cover ten

Blues by 20
The cricket and now this? Really?
The Tahs are due to have a good week given the pattern of bad-good-bad-good but it won't matter.
Are you saying the Blues aren't heavy favorites?

Last season I'd go into this game expecting a bonus point, this season however with how things have gone, you're gonna have to work a lot harder for your wins.
Jordan Lay is an underrated loss for us too.

I'll take it because of Blues injuries.

I'd like to see someone other than Christie at 9.
He simply is not a good enough player not to have pressure put on his spot in the team.
Rewarding Funaki with a start after he put an in impressive shift on the wing makes sense to me.
Funaki started the Highlanders game, so what you are asking for is already happening.
Whatever you think about Christie, there is a drop off when he's not there. What has happened is Funaki has claimed the number two spot (Nock has been terrible) and is pushing Christie hard, which is great.

Nock has been his normal good pass mixed with brain farts
A completely unprovable criticism - imagine how bad Nock would've been if he had to play 65mins as a winger

Certainly wouldn't have defended as well as Funaki did, nor would he have bumped people off cleaning up in the 22. Funaki was bloody excellent.

The ticket pricing structure for this match is not conducive to bigger crowds. $25 general admission at the ends, then $65 for anywhere decent, and $50 for a few random spots that are ok but not great seats.
I've had two mates pull out as they'd rather watch on TV than the ends, and $65 is not worth it to them for franchise rugby.

ticket prices for everything have fucking skyrocketed. i was appalled by what i have to pay for an AFL and NRL game now.

I don't notice it as much with the Warriors games, maybe as I'm never the one actually ordering the tickets as my uber Warriors fan mate always grabs them early and I just transfer whatever number he specifies.
I guess I don't understand the economics of it as I would have thought lower prices and bigger crowds would be better than higher prices and smaller crowds.

@Nepia Tahs offered a 2 for 1 ticket deal for last week's match and all nsw school rugby players and junior referees get free entry.
Well that doesn't help me and my middle aged mates this weekend.
Sadly, I haven't seen any deals this week.
