LIVE REACTION: Team Lists Tuesday Round 5 - Haas Named, Dragons Changes and More

0:00Now the blind and free job inside the album, out of the store, out of the store, you got a one. Let me look down the store, free life, this is the world, this is the world. He's got the football, he's got the privilege. Can I guys welcome back to the rugby league guru podcast. We got your live reaction to the team list Tuesday he heading into around five will go through and give our live reaction to each and every game this weekend. Again, keep up on Thursday night, APM with the dolphins taking on the manly seagulls. For the dolphins, I believe the starting side essentially staying the same as last week the backline remains the same. The forward pack still starting with Gilbert and Felice, Kofursi with Max Plath in the night. Lemuelo and Finne ferrarchy on the edges, Nulls in 13.

1:02On the bench, there you go. Brad Schneider, Tom Flegler, Ray Stone, Francis Molo, Trey Fuller and the return of Kurt Donahoe as well. I would imagine you would see Kurt play some minutes in the nine roll, but it'll be interesting to see what coach Christian Wolf wants to do with that side and with that combination in particular. Other manly seagulls, Kieran Forans first, TLT, Jason Sarb, obviously out with a suspension, so Clayton comes in on the wing outside of that. I believe they have remained unchanged, except for Brandon Wakeham named to start the night, but he was there last week, obviously. So Brandon Wakeham, he will start the night, Jake Simkin comes off the bench. You've got Ethan Bullemore coming off the bench, you got Kobe Heatherington starting in the front row. No other changes are to Kieran Forans side for this game, Joey Walsh, two remains in Jersey 20, so not in that, not on that six man bench. Just yet, we'll see if maybe he comes in before kick off. We then have Friday, four or five PM, good Friday again, the South St.

2:02New Rabadows and the Bulldogs, the Bunnies, obviously coming off a buy here. Kemba Graham, he returns on the wing, Trell Mit and Jack White in the centers. The rest of the back line remains the same. Humphries in the seven once again. That's a toller and Kieran in the front row, Bronson Gallic in the nine, Fefeder and Tullis on the edges, Murray in the 13th. The bench, four Wayne Bennett, Mammazellis, Lockie Hubner, Sean Kepi, Liam LeBlanc, Jaden Sullivan, and Graham Talfa, so still no sign of Brandon Smith, we were hopeful of seeing him this round. It looks like it might be next week, all the week after for the Canabry Bulldogs, nothing enormous here. I think they're starting side remains exactly the same as it did last week, Burton in the six Galvin, still in the seven, Max King and Hughes, up front, Sam Hughes, return, sorry, in the front row. Hayward in the nine, kick out and press it on the edges with Sam and in Jersey 13. The bench this week, Kurt Mans, Tilly to Benua, Sean O'Sullivan, Bronson Cherry, Lipoi Hapoi, but the big one there is Harry Hayes, look, they really missed him last week in Jersey 16. So that is Kim Sarato side for Good Friday.

3:06Late game, Friday night, Panther storm, Grand Final replay from a couple of years ago, this one will be an absolute cracker for the Penruth Panthers, a big out here, Mitch Kenny. So you obviously see Freddie Lusick start in Jersey nine. That'll mean that off the bench, I reckon you'll probably play big minutes here when you look at the bench, Jack Kogger, Billy Phillips, Scott Sorensen, Garner, Tungo Kalani going, Clanny going as a guy that can play hooker, obviously got Jack Kogger there as well. They've been sort of using him to replace Joseo wouldn't surprise me whatsoever if you see yo play big minutes in these bigger games against the top sides like the Melbourne storm and Kogger share the role at nine. Outside of that, no changes to the Penruth Panthers forward pack for the Melbourne storm. Tilly come a commit that obviously not featuring this week, Moses Leo also out of the side and not on the extended bench or anything. You've got Jack Howarth who has been named, obviously came up with an injury last week. So you could see how it's in there and Nick Meaney as well who is also returning. He is in the centers this week.

4:07I was sort of like he's staying on the wing. So we'll keep an eye on Jack Howarth whether he lines up or not. The halves remain the same, the starting forward pack. It remains the same as well. The bench this week for Craig Bellamy, wishy, Moalee Heatherington, Cooper Clark, Valipu and Vateri and that really is all there is to talk about with Craig Bellamy side. That'll be a cracker on Friday night Saturday. The first game kicks off at 5.30 no afternoon game, so it will be Saturday 5.30. The dragons and the cowboys going head to head for the dragons. Moses Sully returns in the centers unreal to see David Valle obviously gets the he gets the opportunity on the right wing. So set to two didn't play last week Tyrell Sloan came in Valle will get his opportunity there. Replacing the injured Kyle Flanagan, King Tongue gets his opportunity in the 5.8 jersey and Ackinson wears jersey seven. Toby Couchman returns in the front row for the St George, Ilowara Dragons, Layla and Sua on the edges with Stuart in jersey 13. Jacob Little comes off the bench with Blake Laurie, Jacob Hollingah, who harmed Sully, Josh

5:11Kerr and Tyrell Sloan. So by the look of that, set to two he is in jersey 22, Cade Reads in jersey 21, but it looks like set to two is dropped down the pecking order three spots in a week, which is pretty fucking crazy. I don't know if he was injured last week or just dropped, but an interesting one there, set to two. I actually thought he did okay in the first few weeks for the cowboys. They're back line essentially the same, except for one change is really interesting. Tom Chester, he comes back into the team with Zach Layla returning to the 6 man bed. Tom Chester obviously did enough in the first few weeks to hold on to that spot, so that is unreal to see for Tommy Chester and for our super coach teams as well, you're fucking love it. The forward pack, Hess and Tom Lolo up front, money in the nine, Luke and McIntyre on the edges with Cotter in the 13. The bench, Sonny Luke, name, McCaley, Lodge, Edwards and Zach Laybarts. All right, let's move to the late game on Saturday night, 735, the Titans and the Bronx going head to head from Seabass Super Stadium for the Titans.

6:13Their back line remains the same as last week. Obviously, AJ Brimson was named at 5-8, played center. He stays there, looking earlier, stays in the 5-8 jersey with JC in the 7. Cleese Ha starts in the front row with Tino, Sam Verrels in the nine, Arama Howe and both Firmor on the edges with Chris Randall in jersey 13. Curtis Moran, Cooper Bye, Mo Foto, Waker, Oliver Pasco, Max Fanguy and Jet Leo. They are your 6 man bench. So Mo Foto, Waker dropped to the bench for the Gold Coast Titans. I think he has underperformed so far so I can understand Josh Hane making this change for the Broncos. Some pretty big outs when it comes to the back line here. Obviously, Grant Anderson, out for 10 to 12 weeks with an injury and Josiah Carapani. I think he got himself in a little bit of Barney Rubble the other day. So he's been ruled out as well. So the back line we now read, Reese Walsh at fullback, Mariner on the wings, Jesse Arthur's on the other wing, Staggs and Shibasaki in the center. So Shibasaki back into the side as he's Jesse Arthur's with Mariner moving back to the wing. As a matter of five, eight, Adam Reynolds in the seven, forward pack, big in here.

7:16Number 10, Payne Haas, heard of him. He will partner Corey Jensen in the front row, Pakes in the nine, Perkure and Ricky on the edges with Caragain in jersey 13. So Majors Bench this week will read Ben Hunt. Xavier Willis and Ben Tolti, Oblix Taffer, Jaden Hunt and Antonio the Hoven. I'm not exactly sure there. I haven't seen him before. Herdy's name before. So I apologize if I got pronounced as you're on there. I know absolutely nothing about him. So keep keen to keep an eye on him this week. Yeah, an interesting one by Mark McGuire there. But the big news coming out of that game is obviously the return of Payne Haas. Absolutely enormous for the Broncos. I'll still sort of believe it when I see it that he is playing. I'm keen to hear from NRL Physio tomorrow as far as him when it comes to a super coach point of view as well. Sunday 2 p.m. Shaq's wires coming to you from Shaq Park for the Shaq's. The backline remains the same. No changes there. The forward pack remains the same as last week as well. The only change is the Brittnickr.

8:17He is available, but he's in jersey 22. So he's not on the six man bench. He's on the three extra reserves there. So keep an eye on Brittnickr if he does come in. Wouldn't surprise me if he job shares with Billy Burns on the right edge. All potentially just takes that jersey back outright. Teague Wilton and Billy Burns both played 80 minutes last week, but Teague played on the left edge. Billy moved to the right. You would assume that means that Teague's got the left edge wrapped up. I would say, but we'll wait and see. Fitzgibbon's bench, Tallahoy, Hazard and Corfusi, Yuala, Herotti, and Pudu. But keep an eye on Brittnickr to find his way into this side somewhere. For the New Zealand Warriors, Taintel Picky named at fullback good to see. DWZ and RTS on the Wings Challenge at the clock start, and Adam Pompey in the centers looking met at 5-8, Tana Boyd in the 7. Fischer Harris and Jackson Ford up front, Wade Egan in the 9 on the edges, Lecker and Leibahn, Aaron Clark, Luxus Crum in jersey 13. The bench, Seam Healey-Mirata near Corre by Munger,

9:19Stauwa Smith, Chanel Harris to Vita and EIT. So obviously we heard the news during the week that Mitch Barnett out for a few weeks. I believe it's an arm injury to Mitch Barnett out of that side. A tough one for the Wars. The other one worth noting on your reserves, you've got three first graders, Morgan Ganon, Carmiera and Ali Layertower who went back to reserve grade last week, and had a good game from what I've heard. So the Warriors depth looking very good at the moment. All right, the late game, the four o'clock game on Sunday, the night's taking on, the Canberra Raiders, four of the Newcastle Knights, a big in in the forward park via Trey Mooney returning from suspension. The backline, it remains the same, fletch a sharp name to this week, just by picking up a little injury late last week. Looks like he'll be good to go, Sharpie. As we said, Trey Mooney returns in the front row. Jacob Saifetti will partner him after a brilliant game last week. Phoenix in the nine, Dylan Lucas, and Jermaine McKeown on the edges with Maddie Croaker in the 13. Not really a huge stage to the bench, but Harrison Graham in jersey 14 this week.

10:20I think this kid has done so well that he's just about locked himself into this side. I think you'll see Harrison Graham come on during this game and cross on moving to that 13 roll. Also on the bench there with Harrison Graham, Tyson Rezel, but Sami Solo, Thomas Kent, Tyson Gamble, and Wilson DeCorsi, another one that I really, the look of for the Newcastle Knights there. For the Canberra Raiders, Joe Roddy drops out of this side, Josh Papaletti comes back in. The backline, it remains the same as last week. Josh Papaletti in the front row with Tarpon A, Staling in the nine, Hudson Young and Noah Martin on the edges, Hallsbringer's the 13th. The bench, Braille Hosking, Atomariota, Morgan Smithy, Chevy Stewart, and Maddie Tymico on the six man bench as well. Interesting to see Chevy and Maddie Tymico there. You still got Owen Paddy, who's in the reserves there, along with Dane Laurie. I'm a little bit surprised if you're playing Chevy Stewart and Maddie Tymico on the six man bench that Dane Laurie is not getting a bait there, but Ricky Stewart's forgotten more than I know.

11:21Let's move to the Monday game, 405 pm. This one's always a cracker. The Parameter Eels and the West Tigers. For the Eels, a couple of keyouts. A youngy obviously out for a few weeks in Matt Dury. It looks like his season has unfortunately come to an early end with an ACL injury. So, Josh Papaletti gets his opportunity at fullback on the wing, Simonson and Atokar, Sean Russell and Brian Kelly in the centers, Pizzett and Moses will line up in the halves. Jack Williams and Junior Bolo will start in the front row. Riley Smith in jersey nine, Kelma and Katoga on the edges with Dylan Walker in the 13 once again. The bench for Jason Riles, Talon to Silver, Sam to Ivati, Charlie Geimer and Luca Meretti, Jack Debellon and Twidle. Good to see Twidle getting his first opportunity on the six man bench. A young kid to keep an eye on. I've got big wraps on him heading into the future. Once again, if I'm reading that correctly, we know they're going to use to Silver. We know they're going to use to Ivati. I think they'll use Luca Meretti. I think it comes down to Geimer or Jack Debellon. If you're reading to that, Jack Debellon is jersey 18. He might not get on the field again this week.

12:22Very, very interesting for the West Tigers. Coming off an unbelievable win against the New Zealand Warriors. Great to see the Tigers bullable line up on full at fullback. Tavana will be on one wing. Luke Lallilli on the other. Teruva in the centers with Makacini. Jock Madden at 5-8. Adam Dewey in the seven. Terrell May and Finoa Bolley start up front. Appy in the nine. Fino and Kaipis Paul on the edges. Alex 12, where's Jersey 13? Haven't a blind of a season so far. On the bench, Latu Fino, Siani Fino, Royce Hunt, Alex C-Farth, Buntia Fowler, and Geraint Schelton there. Just keep an eye on Jersey 22. Patrick Herbert. Hammy's been talking about him for a few weeks. Good defensive center. Wouldn't shock me if he comes into this side at some point. But that is Benjamin Marshall side heading in to round five. Easter weekend, it's going to be a cracker. Five straight days of rugby league. It does not get much better than that. We've got Siaui joining us tomorrow night. Tomorrow morning guys 6am. So stay tuned for that. Beers and break events coming your way tomorrow as well. So an absolute stack of contact.
