^^^ Yes he is but 2nd grade are also Player Points constrained - 60 points max.

I think Uni 2nd grade adds up to < 30 points so he'd fit in easily.

Good but surprising news for Hooper and the Wallabies.
Plus Kurtley Beale is supposedly available to play for the Wicks
Player Points for Uni Second Grade as named:
1 Point: 1. Alexander Batho, 2. Stewart Nutt, 3. Alastair Ryan, 4. Byron Hodge, 6. Tom Shaw, 7. Benn Melrose, 8, Samuel Quinn, 9. Jock Merriman, 10. Jack Macklin, 11. Mark O'Dare, 12. James Swan, 13. Christopher Ingate, 14. Oliver L'Estrange
2 Points: 15. Chris Chapman
10 Points: 5. Matthew Philip
Total = 25 points.
Paddy Ryan @ 16 Points could be a Fresh Reserve for their 2's. Total Points then = 41, leaving a further 19 points for more Fresh Reserves.
He could be injured because even counting all their Round 18 reserves as fresh, they only had 45 player points. They could have played him without breaching the points cap.
Player Points for The Gallopers 1st Grade:
1 Point: 4. Jock Armstrong, 11. Jack Pennington, 13. Brogan Roods
2 Points: 2. Peter Nau, 6. Sam Figg
4 Points: 1. Toa Asa, 3. Dashville Kuate
5 Points: 5. Ned Hanigan, 9. Mitch Short, 10. Andrew Deegan
6 points: 8, Stephen Hoiles, 14. Henry Hutchinson
7 Points: 7. Mark Baldwin
9 Points: 15. Andrew Kellaway
14 Points: 12. David Horwitz
Total = 72 points. This leaves 28 points for some of their Waratah/Wallaby players to make a special guest appearance as a Fresh Reserve without breaching their Player Points Cap of 100.

Is it confirmed yet? Got asked by a son's mate today who got the news from a betting site.
Quarter Finals Tips
Manly (1) vs Randwick (6). It's Nomad Beer vs Jeff Sayle Ale (cheap and nasty DB beer from NZ with a picture of Jeff on the tap). Guess who will win the battle of the Beers? Shoule be the same with the rugger. MMM should win this easily, even though SANZAR have handicapped their chances by trumping up a striking charge against one of the Hooper Bros. MMM march on, while the Randi-Wix should have their Mad Monday plans well advanced.
Eastwood (2) vs Warringah (5). Probably the most exciting matchup, and the only one not on the TV. Gotta head off to Vimiera Road and donate some drinking tokens to the North Ryde RSL if you want to see this game. Woodies should be too good, but I've noticed that the Rats form has followed a good, bad, good, bad pattern. Tomorrow the Rats are due for a good performance, so I'm going to ride the vibe and tip a Rats upset. As Highest Ranked Loser, the Woodies will be back next week to put the choke hold on MMM.
Southern Districts (3) vs Sydney University (4). After surrendering to the Pirates last week without Ben Vol au Vent, I can seeThe Corporation Waratahs A coming away with some chocolates from Sylvania Waters. Having sent a bus to Moore Park to pick up all the Tahs not in the Wallabies squad, the New Blokes at BuildCorp should have learned the lineout calls, starter plays and structures, as well as the first name of the rest of their team by now, and are "on the up". If the Rats upset the Woodies, then it is "Hello Northies" for the Hobbits for their Mad Monday.

According to a Tweet on the Wicks website he's on the bench.
We probably won't know for sure until the players head out for the warmup about 2:30pm tomorrow.

According to Nigel Hampton "..... I was also advised that other players were being made available to their clubs which I accepted."
So that's Kurtley & who else?
So that's Kurtley & who else?
Quade Cooper made himself available to play for his club (Souths) Brisbane but the Coach decided to stick with established combinations.
Oh and in case you missed the TV Game, KB (Kurtley Beale) was not on the bench for the Wicks, he was the run on #12 for the Randi-Wix.

Victory for the Marlins. Beale played most of the game for Randwick - went off with about 5 to go. Did some good things in attack.

It was frustrating at times watching the Wicks fail to finish off some good play. But all credit to Manly. They executed better and earned that win.

Except for his pass to the Manly 13 early in the game, a try to the Wicks then and the game might have unfolded differently.

Crikey there are some anti Marlin members on G & G.
I though the breakdown was officiated poorly and Manly had just as much to argue with some decisions.
Understand the side has a good case of the hiccups in next weeks fixture but I think the side is more relaxed and have a quality 9/10 steering the ship.
It was a good game today - tight & niggly.
Bring on next week.
