That's no reason to pick him. Lets win the game and worry about sentimental celebrations later. Stick with the 2 halfbacks from last weekend. I was done with White a few years ago.

The way Doran reported it they are looking for White's energy to lift the team this weekend. It's fair enough as I'm still pissed off I cant imagine how the team is feeling

Yeah if Joe can get them up this week it will be a bit of a master stroke. It would be hard to get last week out of your head and refocus and reenergise.
His pass is still very good, probably better than Gordon and definitely better than Tate’s. And Gordon played 80, which is a lot considering he’s been injured a hit this year. I think it makes sense to give him this last game, which is very important. I’m getting Teddy in for RC.

On the other side, will the Lions be on the piss all week?

I'd be surprised. They are 1 win away form being the only lions team in modern history to win every game on tour

Over Lonergan? Big call

if you want energy, bring LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) in

Peter Johnson (47)
Yeah, makes you wonder if there is more to him not being involved at this stage, especially considering Skelton wont be there for the RC

Nick Farr-Jones (63)
Is it any more than he wasn't picked in the squad because he lacked match fitness after injury, they decided to keep faith with the squad that was picked, and now he will get picked in the squad for SA, especially if Skelton isn't??
Tomthumb
Peter Johnson (47)
Yeah, but there was nothing stopping them calling him into the squad to get him up to speed. They just called Aidan Ross in and I'd be surprised if he jumped straight into the 23
They picked Skelton, he was clearly underdone.
Personally, I think you only want 1 Skelton type player in your 23. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) to come in will in the RC.

He is in the advertising and everything. I really hope he is considered.

God I hope the boys have stored up the hurt of losing at the death last week and tear the Lions a new one. With Bobby probably out I would imagine we start Langi and tell him to go nuts for as long as his motor will carry him and then probably bring on Hooper.
I would also love to see LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) also come in and show the kind of mongrel we've seen in the tour games.

Valetini apparently ruled out... Hooper starting.

Hooper starting - yay. FFS. Shame, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) & Uru have been showing a real point of athletic difference in their matches. Samu was seen training with the squad also
I expect to see the following
1. Slipper 2. Porecki 3. Tupou
4. Frost 5. Skelton
6. Hooper 8. Wilson 7. Mcreight
9. White 10. Lynagh 11. Pietsch 12. Ikitau 13. JAS 14. Jorgo 15. Wright
16. Pollard 17. Bell 18. Robertson 19. Williams 20. Gleeson 20. Samu 21. Mcdermott 22. Donaldson
