Sitili probably deserves a slot ahead of Butch on form this year, but Robbo may think otherwise.

Bench Aubbo Collins Butch SBW
I still believe Robbo will go with his most experienced. Sitili, Lussick & Farmersilli will miss out. It would of been interesting if Rads & SV were fit.

every chance injuries will force our hand but at this stage i'm thinking butch is the unlucky one.
freddy's been great but jake can play 80 so he misses out. maybe one of the reasons robbo rested jake last week was to give him a break before the work ahead.
aubo went into dummy half when jake went off v knights so i figure that gives him the edge for a bench spot. plus he can seamlessly cover if a back goes down.
so for me its sitili v butch. sitili's been great this year and his d has really improved. he's capable of a big hit and his tackle efficiency is more than 90%. their d is comparable but i think sitili's a more potent attacker.
still if robbo goes with butch i won't complain.

btw i don't think sbw is pushing someone out of a spot. sure we shouldn't just select him cos we've gone to a lot of trouble to bring him out here - he needs to earn his spot. i think he's shown enough.
injuries to rads and sammy has given other guys chances they wouldn't otherwise have had so the guy who misses out would have missed out if rads was fit. swings and roundabouts.

You can bet your balls they have 2 bench spots.
Who would you give the other two spots to?..it’ll be interesting to see
