Jah bless, Jahrome.
NSW Intrust Super Premiership
Newtown Jets vs NZ Warriors
Jets: Fa'amanu Brown, Matt McIlwrick, Malakai Houma, Kurt Kara, Kenny Niko.
Warriors: Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Henare Wells, George Carmont, Ken Maumalo, Ata Hingano, Mason Lino, James Gavet, Nathaniel Roache, Toafofoa Sipley, John Palavi, Jazz Tevaga, James Bell, Upu Poching, Patrick Sipley, Vili Kaveinga, Erin Clark, Marata Niukore.
Doc's Word: Newtown's got that Christchurch flavour in Brown and McIlwrick, don't sleep on the young Warriors halves either with Lino and Hingano forming a nice combo. Oh and I love Tevaga and Bell, two rugged middle forwards that the Warriors need coming through.
Wests Tigers vs Wyong Roos
Tigers: Watson Heleta, Michael Chee-Kam, Jeremy Marshall-King, Manaia Cherrington, Manaia Rudolph.
Roos: Omar Slaimankhel, Zane Tetevano, Paki Afu, Abraham Papalii.
Doc's Word: Marshall-King and Cherrington gives the Tigers a kiwi flavour at hooker, while Wyong will roll out Afu and Papalii off their bench. Papalii got game time with the Roosters this season.
Queensland Intrust Super Cup
Townsville Blackhawks vs Sunshine Coast Falcons
Blackhawks: Jahrome Hughes, Michael Parker-Walshe.
Falcons: Eddie Tautali, Tony Tumusa, Nelson Asofa-Solomona.
Doc's Word: Some serious NRL-calibre talent on show here, with Hughes having played for the Cowboys this season and big ol' Asofa-Solomona likely to slot back into the Storm's NRL team for the Finals after this week.
Redcliffe Dolphins vs Burleigh Bears
Dolphins: Shane Pumipi.
Bears: Kurtis Rowe, Jarrod Tua, Nathaniel Peteru, Paterika Vaivai, Josh Ailaomai, Louis Fanene, Caleb Morehu.
Doc's Word: Where do we begin with these Burleigh Bears? Rowe is a former Wests Tigers player, Tua and Peteru are former Junior Warriors, Fanene hails from Canterbury and Morehu hails from Tauranga. Boom.
