simply, WHY, unless their injury toll is a lot bigger than ours
Granted Brahma would need some players to return, but i think they'll match up well against the Blues.
Brahma are more physical, are a lot taller side, and have some very experienced and talented players through the midfield and halfback, and when full strength a very potent forward line.
Kurtis Smith will have a day out, and Antonio Cavallaro, Matt Leigh, Daniel Hickey (if he comes back down) & Jason Marshall is a strong quartet.
If Phil Hall & Adam Freeman return, suddenly you have those two plus Josh Corbett, Quiniton Taylor and Kaine Arbon - its a very dangerous forward line - and very difficult to match up on.
Niblett, Gehlken are reasonable players across the half back line, and if Nick Hall plays, that frees up Kurtis Smith to perhaps play CHB or CHF with Corbett moving down back.
Also think recent results show Pulteney as susceptible - perhaps getting complacent with the ease of standard in D6R?
