I know, I've really let down the team... is it BJ next week or back to Sezer?

Re: 2017 Rd 16 V Broncos: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

Not sure why but I feel certain opposition players seem to always have amazing games against us regardless of their current form and for me Benji Marshall is one of the first that spring to mind, so much so that I would almost prefer Milford was playing.

Retaining Barnett over Bateman would have been good. He'd be on decent coin with the Knights now though. It seemed clear he wasn't going to fight his way into the Raiders side when a walk up start was on offer elsewhere, can't blame him really but I don't view it as one that got away because of that.
