Update | Trent Robinson has trimmed down his side 24 hours ahead of kick-off.

No changes to the seventeen have been made. Drew Hutchison is the side's 18th man, while Terrell May remains on the extended bench.

Only issue there is whether the Dragons are cooked too

Yes what Dragons will turn up - one that will role their sleeves up or one that has the travel luggage in the car boot.

My family can pass them onto us...I'll keep you posted...ours don't have to pay because of family connections...

I see what you’re saying but honestly the Merge are dealing with their own dramas too. Half the team wants Hook sacked so I’m not so confident and the Broncos have far more to play for.

Don't know why anyone is banking on the Broncos losing next week. We have played great the last 6 weeks but if we can't win one of the next two games with the squad we have now then we won't go too deep in the semis.

Well said. Our destiny is in our own hands. I trust the team to come good.

Parra has the game to beat Penrth and the Storm though if they happen play them during the finals- vs Penrith through the ruck with angle runs and offloads as the Riff love it when teams play side line to side line and try to run around them - The Storm are different as teams that use the ball trouble them as they love it when teams play through the ruck/middle.

Hence the Roosters have to use the ball and not get into a ruck/middle battle with the Storm as they won't win that.

Fair but I think we need to play pretty direct against Melbourne as we have great strength coming off our bench to do so. We need to bash them up the middle and earn the right to use the ball.
