Flanagans out..

[zac]

I don’t necessarily agree with Robbo’s communication here. He had an opportunity to tell him behind closed doors and tell the media he was being rested due to fatigue or injury.

The public would have bought it with the way out team has been going the last few years.

Now it plays out in public and only dents the guys confidence even further.

from what i can see there's no better man manager in the comp than robbo. he knows what he's doing. he would have had a private word with flanno so we don't know the full story.

Iku to left centre, Manu to right wing and Aubo to right centre?

from the photos manu to l centre, teddy to l wing, fitzy to r centre, sam walker to l wing.

Haha, not sure if you're having a dig or not but considering Ikuvalu is also a centre, I don't think my proposition was all that outlandish.

Based on the captain’s run photos, the lineup is looking like:

1. Tedesco
2. Hall
12. Aubusson
4. Manu
5. Ikuvalu
6. Keary
7. Lam
17. Collins
9. Friend
10. SST
11. Tupouinua
16. N. Butcher
13. Liu

14. Hutchinson
15. Faamausili
18. Fifita
21. E. Butcher

Not a lot of punch off that bench. Although keen to see Egan play...will be a big moment for him and Nat if it transpires.

i think iku was primarily a centre so you're not being outlandish at all. wasn't having a dig, just being silly.

Fitzy to centre could still offer more pace than Hall

Unfortunately it will be Sitilli to left centre. Dufty will have a field day coming down that side of the field

Also incredibly keen to watch Egan play! Lots of wraps around him, even heard he might be better than his brother?

I think it was his last few performances but he did miss a kick right in front which gave the Titans a look in. I was just warming up to him and he is the NRL’s leading point scorer. Must be really tough on him not to play this week.

I'm sure Robo knows what he's doing. He wouldn't drop him for no reason, certainly not this close to the finals either.

I can’t deal with watching this again. NO!

Don’t dispute that and his man management has been A grade. Even more reason why I found this situation peculiar.

Maxy Bailey and Dan Fifita in....jwh and bmoz out...sitili centre aargh!!

[Bahrain Rooster]

Maybe him and Aubo will swap. I can deal with Aubo in the centres, Sitili, never again.

[rented tracksuit]

Go the Roosters!
