Yeah given McWhannell had a stiff neck post game (presumably from Slipper's high shot) then i would anticipate he would have a week off.
Hodgman vs his old team should be fun

QB Zach Wilson traded to the Denver Broncos for a late round pick swap.
That means in under 3 years since the 2021 NFL Draft 4 of the 5 QBs chosen in round 1 are on different teams.
This year's Draft starting later this week, there is an expectation that 4 QBs will go in the top 10.
The race for the 7th and 8th spot is going to be fascinating. 6 teams fighting for 2 spots.
6 points separate 7th from 12th.
That's fewer points than what separates 6th from 7th (9 points).

He kept growing and is probably more suited to 12 now. He’s gone well in the last couple of games at 10 though
Good under the high ball now too. A very handy utility if that’s what the selectors want/need
A Havili-style selection but more solid, reliable and able to run a backline. It's interesting that a number of Blues players look better this year under Cotter
I see O'Halloran is back with the Blues now. I wonder if his influence has grown too as Blues last few games have been far less clunky in the backs.
One area Plummer has traditionally struggled with is his punting distance but he was hitting them very nicely last night.
I could be hearing things but I thought after the match I heard Cotter say Suafoa is back training and might even play again this season.

Blackadder will be in the squad
Iose and Laki will not you heard it hear first .
Bold to assume Blackadder will be fit
Well deserved by the Force. They played well
Dalton, McWhannell, Plummer. Could have named many many players.
@Kirwan said in Blues MOTM v Brumbies:
Sotutu, Dalton and Clarke for me. McWhannell special mention.
Shows how well Blues played when Plummer can't even get a mention
Clarke finally showing that hustle and workrate.
Lam will want to forget that first touch
Another strong shift from McWhannell
@Gunner said in Blues v Brumbies:
I really like Funaki, he’s a little energiser bunny, with a nice quick pass.
Not sure where both the Blues and ABs obsession with the little ginga comes from, but I rate Funaki as a much better player.
Could not agree more
McWhannell took a knock there
Perhaps Dalton read Cully's article
Funaki works well with this pack. A good half from him again
Impressive power from Hoskins
Is that a penalty?
Forbes takes good options
@Canes4life said in Blues v Brumbies:
Plummer has looked a lot more assured than Perofeta for me.
Especially in conditions like this
