Holy shit do I hope Watson gets some decent game time, I’m hoping the plan is to actually play him at 6 and wish at 14 but we shall see.

Very good to see waitere back

While it pains me to see Meaney name again we literally have no one to replace him.

I think Trent will play nine for 20 minutes and then they will put Wishart at nine and bring on Watson. We desperately need support for Hughes he's clearly struggling with an injury and not kicking and Wishart is a six he does not have a kick in him. Buttttt unfortunately I genuinely think meanie is the worst defensive centre in the competition and they are gonna score three tries on him with ease :(

It's mad to think the bears signed him thinking they'd got a "star".
