Peatling's beaten Adam Kennedy for the last bench spot; otherwise as expected.

Who's the likely sub? Stone, or Kennedy?

Unlucky for Kennedy and Stone (Likely 1 to be the sub) but well done to the 22. Surprised Hamilton over Fahey in the 26 but most here rate him and he just needs opportunity

The bench is as expected. I don't know the rules around naming the sub.
I would think the sub will be Kennedy for his versatility.
I'm 50/50 between the two. Agree Kenners is flexible, and experienced - which is handy in the first game. But Stone can play mid and forward, so has some flexibility. He also has a touch extra height, which would come in handy if we lost a tall, so probably evens them up in flexibility.

The coaches will have a view, and go with that, no doubt!
