    Strange forward pack...we've got two big guys Stosic and Donnelly in the front row, which is fair enough
    But we have Hilder and Swain in the back row together...I'm still not sold on Swain yet because I've yet to see him beat a player in attack and his defence looks soft.

    I'm going to view this game like a trail run...besides Minichello, all forwards (including run on and bench) are fighting for a future spot in the side.

    There sure is, but theres nothing really wrong with being an armchair coach and sharing your opinions.

    What should have been somewhat easier games to tip this weekend have been made difficult with Origin.

    Are the Warriors back or were Penrith that bad? How will they perform away from home? Will Wiki cover Price's absence? Why did they change a winning side after a month and half of the same losing squad?

    Main thing here I reckon is if the Titans have enough size to go the tustle with the big Warriors. I don't think they do, but I think they've got far superior play makers and kicking game, which should make up for it. Josh Lewis has a fantastic long kicking game so if the forwards begin to struggle for yardage, he'll have the opportunity to come into his own.

    I think Campbell, Lewis and Prince can take advantage of the big tiring Warriors provided the rest of the team can weather a bit of an early barrage, after that it could get nasty looking on the score board in favour of the home team.

    some strange selections from carty, thought cooper might start for his size stosic is an automatic replacement for bull, gives the titans a mobile forward pack, i think this is to the titans advantage then they can move the ball to tire out the big forwards of auckland,
