that confirms that lindsay's in the 17 for the finals.

great to see lachie lam back.

[fletch]

With 2 wingers sitting in the reserves I wouldn't be surprised if BMoz is rested on Friday Night.

Surprising to see Lam back so quickly initially thought he would be out till the prelim final weekend.

I’d rather we rest the injury prone Morris brothers than the young buck Manu. I’ll be surprised if Iku doesn’t get a run.

Collins was never in doubt. I think the only real decision to be made for the finals, barring any injuries of course, is Sitili v Butch. I'm a bit torn on that one.... I've always like what Butcher offers, and he was tremendous in the GF last year, but Sitili's kinda won me over this year .... I'm still leaning towards Butcher though with his workrate and defensive starch. With Cords, Gus, Ice and SBW playing in the pack we have plenty of attacking weapons, so I'm thinking it's Butcher for his defense.

wasn't in our top 17 come gf last year but he's earned his spot.

I'm starting to think that Robbo has landed on 11. Cordner, 12. Sitili and 13. Crichton as his preferred backrower combination, with Collins, Liu, Aubo and SBW to come off the bench. Think Butch may miss out this year. I'd be confused as to why Robbo continues to start Sitili even with Crichton back in the team if this wasn't the case.

[zac]

with angus starting at lock and with butch on the bench maybe sbw plays a bit on the right edge. he's good wherever he plays but with a bit more space on the edge he could be lethal.

[Tommy Smith]

It's awesome to have Lam back, on top of Ikuvalu a couple of weeks ago. They are tremendous back up players that just might be needed at some point in the finals.

What bearing does this games outcome have on our position on the ladder. Does it matter if we win or lose? I'm too lazy to research

If we lose, we drop to 4th if Eels beat Tigers, stay 3rd if Eels lose.
