Finals - Week 2

ALAN TONGUE IS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!!

Unfortunately he refuses to play on the wing or at five-eighth, so coach Fairfax has given him the weekend off.

The Bears squad is:

FB Billy Slater
W Manu Vatuvei
C Joseph Leilua
C Adrian Purtell
W Jharal Yow Yeh
FE Ashley Harrison
HF Chad Townsend
BR Corey Parker
BR Liam Fulton
BR Gavin Cooper
FR Petero Civoniceva ©
HK Matt Srama
FR Michael Weyman
ResBK Jonathan Wright
ResBK Ben Smith
ResFD Joel Edwards
ResFD Brent Kite
Kicker Corey Parker

As always we live in hope that we'll get a full squad. We're going in two players short, but we're not the only team affected by late withdrawals this week

The backs especially seem to be very understaffed - for us and it seems most teams this year - have there been a lot more injuries?

WATMOUGH, Anthony
