Dragons are 💩 without hunt so let's hope he doesn't play next week (gets injured, suspended etc in today's game) & we win comfortably but if he plays it will be another arm wrestle but we should still win
 
I like AJ in the second row, these days.

Nice to have forwards depth.

I like him when he’s catching the pass, running good lines at depth and not lost in defence…
He’s up for a bath if he’s in and not on.

He’s showing some aggression and a little urgency here and there - but he can be a real liability…

How did Sayfart go in Reggie’s last night.
If he can play lock that gives us a nice bench but no cover for backline injuries?
 
With Bula, Tupou, Noffa and To’a all playing strongly, it’s more clear to me than ever we need a #7 and another elite centre , with Brooks to #6. I wish this club could go out and make two big kills in the player market to give the fans a real lift. Surprise us.

I like Nado (sometimes) but he did absolutely nothing last night - lost his head all together… dunno if it was playing his mates, playing out west or what - but he wasn’t in the same postcode…

That’s said, and while To’a has been better - Nado is probably our best centre…
we could certainly upgrade on both sides of the park.

It’s been a real Achilles heel for us since 2010… Aysh and Rowdy’s form started dropping in 11 and we’ve still not replaced them.

I’ve noticed he stays in the D line more when playing 2r, but rushes out of the D line from centre? Hopefully he works on that coz he looks good at 2r, but for us I think we need him to be solid in both those positions so we have some backline cover. Also better for him he will get more game time.

Ayshfords form dropped of a cliff that year didn’t it, and never returned.

Benchie for mine…
Can do edge, or further out…
Tough enough to come on in the middle if needed…
Problem is - we’re carrying Simpkin as well… leaving us light.

I had hope Rua might come on, and be able to do both for us… we’re desperate for a Halatau right now…
(Weird we let Nu Brown go?)
At the risk of getting shouted down
- Will Smith would be my bench utility…

can cover everywhere bar prop…
