Um.... like there's a chance we aren't putting out a full strength team!????????!!!!?!??
Some of us could always think of better choices!

Pretty cheap too to be honest. I see advertising everywhere for $50 tickets. Gotta go get my girlfriend a jersey for $150 though now, so there you go.Thankfully ticket sales seem to be going well for the match, as there's now no finals footy in Melbourne on Saturday night...
I see both Paul Cully and Iain Payten in the SMH calling for an all Victorian backrow of Leota, Samu and Valetini.
I think Leota is due for another start, and despite his consistent form off the bench I still don't think that translates into a start for Samu.
Cant see how Samu displaces McReight. The only two forwards playing halfway consistently are Valetini and Fraser.Thankfully ticket sales seem to be going well for the match, as there's now no finals footy in Melbourne on Saturday night...

My team would be: James Slipper, Dave Porecki, Allan Ala'alatoa, Cadeyrn Neville, Darcy Swain, Rob Leota, Pete Samu, Rob Valetini, Nic White, Bernard Foley, Marika Koroibete, Lalakai Foketi, Len Ikitau, Andrew Kellaway, Reece Hodge; Reserves: Folau Fainga’a, Angus Bell, Pone Fa’amausili, Jed Holloway, Fraser McReight, Tate McDermott, Kurtley Beale, Suliasi Vunivalu.
I’ve reinstated big Cadeyrn Neville after his promising Test career start, while Rob Leota starts to bring a bit more aggression to the Wallabies’ early ball carries: they can’t sit back against the All Blacks.
The same philosophy lies behind the selection of Pete Samu at No 7: Fraser McReight comes on as the Test begins to open up.
If anything it's Samu who benefits most from the game opening up a bit. Can use his size and footwork in a bit of space.I think it was in Payten's case.... Cully's thinking is more about fronting up big to start, and then bringing on McReight when the game "opens up"...
I disagree... I think we'll need McReight's workrate and pressure on the ball.

MCG, jesus. Can we even sell out Etihad?Agreed, all 3 should play but Fraser must start.

Actually just read that Marinos expects Marvel to be close to a sell out. sweetProbs not, but at the mcg you have 130k mcc members who might be inclined to have a look that wouldn't go to Marvel.

Just had a look at the ticket map - they have moved a heap of tickets since they opened up the $50 ticketsActually just read that Marinos expects Marvel to be close to a sell out. sweet
Almost like the Wallabies aren't worth paying $250 to see.Just had a look at the ticket map - they have moved a heap of tickets since they opened up the $50 tickets
Could be a disaster if someone doesnt give him a quick refresher course on "rugby"Sotutu must play 8 otherwise what's he doing in the squad.
