Brand straight back into the wing? With O'Brien to 6 and Hughes to the bench?

Hardaker, McIntosh, Hanley, Leutele, Brand, O'Brien, Lam, Amone, Mulhern, O'Donnell, Halton, Asiata
Subs: Pene, Trout, Hughes, Dwyer (or Davis).

Think both sides have squads that are a lot stronger than the game they previously lost between the two this year.

Bailey Hodgson will get a debut as a replacement for Charnley

That would be my guess as well unless Lam thinks that Hodgson is still someway off match readiness.

Fingers crossed the return of O'Brien will be the difference and we will get more of the team that demolished Saints than the truly awful shower of ineptitude that turned up against the Pies

Be surprised if Moylan plays.

I thought Moylan was crocked and out for several more weeks?

A big game for Keanan. Potentially a big opportunity for him as well. I hope he goes well.

Hardaker and O'Donnell were the standout performers for me, but also thought that Brand did very well, coming into the side for such a big game. Did his defensive work, and carries early in sets, and capped it off with a decent assist as well.

Once we took the two to go three scores ahead, we stayed in control of the game with our defence. O'Brien needs to learn to not carry the ball so loosely when through for a try, and to dive for the line. Would've been 40 if that is scored I reckon.

Very good to see us nil someone, when you consider how much we were struggling defensively early in the season.
