Great for Honey Badger. A well deserved jersey for a big effort this year, congratulations Nick.

On a side note, a 5/2 bench with Shippers. So zero adaptability, no ability for a strategic change, and we are stuffed with an injury to halves and inside backs.

Perhaps McCabe could go to 15, Taps to 12 and HB to 13. A complete shift in an already completely makeshift untried back line.

This surely is the last desperate throw of the five for this disastrous rabble of management

Congrats to the Badger!! He will do us proud like always.

That's a fairly large pack we've named with Timani and Samo in the backrow. Robinson and Dennis have finally been dropped. Harris at 15 is a strange choice but could work if he can tackle 1 on 1. Hooper for BOG again.

Still too many Tahds.

This is first time gold jumper and hopefully one of many more and a starting one at that.

Good on you HB we are hugely proud of you!

Why Phipps at 9 and Sheehan on the bench? Did Deans watch the game last week? Or is Sheehan short on match fitness?

And why do we have a full-back at fly-half and a fly-half at full-back?

[Rex Messup]

sorry loyal Force fans..........we are really scraping the barrel

Deans has lost the plot

Harris at 15 ? Timani at 6? Tapuai at 13 ? haircut at 14 whilst Shipperley warms the pine ? Phipps in the 22 ? Mccabe at 12 ?

a very lazy backrow..........we are going to get belted

Australia by 20 ( Tobruk, Gallipoli, light horse, western front...........Cronulla Beach)

...Kapyong, Maryang San, Long Tan, Kakarak.....

Add to that the fact that Ben Alexander is a Loose Head playing at Tight Head and James Slipper is a Tight Head playing at Loose Head?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
