Wow. Didn't see the T. Hooper selection coming. Pretty stiff on McReight but Jones clearly wants to emulate the success of NH (+ SA) teams of carrying large backrows. There shouldn't be any excuses come LO time with Hooper offering a bit more height.

In the second half we could have a potential lineout of Frost, Arnold, Holloway and T Hooper...

Nothing could possibly go wrong...

Off topic, but the ball/hand positioning in this photo is interesting considering Uelese's struggles. Being off-centre in the draw doesn't lend itself to a straight throw - I once overheard a pretty respected lineout specialist talking to a group of young hookers about exactly this.

Papali'i is such a better player than Cane. Hooper has his work cut out for him against Dalton and Ardie being a 7.5.

And Jacobson off the bench...

I'm surprised we don't have McReight on the bench to balance out all of the big bodies, but it will be interesting to see who Leota comes on for in the second half.

Can anyone enlighten me why throwing in a line out is a hard thing to do accurately?
It’s throwing but with two hands for added control.
They can all do it with no pressure, but to get up with burning lungs, half dazed & battered for the last ruck, then in 30 seconds, clear your head and get you heart rate down and under control .................... it isn't easy
