Fluky, Josh Fluker, 13, has probably been the best 13 of the Australian centres this year.

We've got some players that have really come into form, so hopefully that can come to the fore for us.

Yeah, it's a good question.

I've got to pay real credit to Kalani Thomas and Louis Wersh on the two nines that had a fort for the year until Tate came back.

They've done a great job for us.

Tate, he's a special player.

His experience alone is massive, but he does keep defenders honest.

That's one of his great strengths is, you know, if you're a one or two pillar defender, you have to stay honest and alive.

And that just opens up space a little bit more for our forward carries or our 10 to do his work.

And, you know, despite the fact he's been out most of the year,

He's trained with the team for the last four or five weeks, and his last two games have shown that his combination with Carter is important to us.

They both have built a synergy.

It's not complete, I've got to say.

It's not like they've played a lot of games together, but they've built something nice over the last few weeks that I think has helped us open up a little bit more of our game, getting ourselves more points in games.

Last week, we got seven tries

being able to score tries in the back of their combination is important.

For us, both of them know how to keep the ball in front of you at the right time.

We'll need that in the wet this week.

No forward pack likes anything better than, or every forward pack likes the ball going in front of them at the right time.

So both of them will manage that well.
