Please, God, I haven't prayed to you in years, nor am I religious, but PLEASE god, please....we need some halves.

 

[innsaneink]

Glad to see the back Naden

Happy Apis back

Sad

 

[old_man_tiger]

Think they might lift as they were filthy in the Knights loss, will tune in from the beginning for a change (always ready to turn it off though).
Lift!!!!!!!!

 

[Stevec]

Same backline ? I just don't understand ! Naden is either fit or he isn't. If he's fit surely better on wing than Kepoa ? IMO Laurie better option than Smith

 

[Telltails]

I would have liked to seen Laurie given another crack. Don't learn any thing by giving him one game that was a thrashing.
Just seems to be a last resort with Sheens_ Benji.

This is why we are running last..when it comes to team selections,Sheens must have the same disease that Fittler has

Yeah we're asking to get cut 2 ribbons again
on our edges. Dom Young & Marzhew gonna
have a field day. ZERO speed in our halves.
Laurie deserved another crack for sure
Jake didn't deserve another bench spot imo.

 

[Asu Kepaoa's #1 Fan]

For 5 weeks there it was no Api, no happy. But he is finally back, and with him returns my hope.

 

[Kaito]

I don't see any reason we should get carved up out wide, we have strong second rowers and defense on the edge is system and attitude. I can see why we don't score tries because we lack genuine class players, but we should be able to tackle. [cranky face]

Haha mate, I don't trust Tommy & AJ's D reads
You're right about the points thing though. My
man Wakeham has a very weak boot on him,
their back 3 will feast, our kick chase needs to
be on all night. I'll tune in as usual but I'm sullen!

 

[tiger05premier]

Strong team apart from the halves

Hopefully we don't need the input of our halves this week

Can you type a full sentence or?

Man, my style of writing is succinct... Was going to
clap back and write something rude but my ego
is very much in tact, thank God. Good day, Sir

Hahaha. Appreciate you didn’t but let the banter flow my friend

Haha I'm prepering dinner brother, next time!

Yeah...apart from the halves...

And that neither center can pass, nor read on D...and neither center has ever played two good games in a row...

And neither winger can hold high kicks.

Apart from 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 we look good in the backs...

If only you were wrong.
Tupou and Star are like the characters in the movie Awakenings. The one where catatonic patients are given a wonder drug and come to life for 2 weeks only for the drug to stop working and they slip back into their catatonic state.

 

[The Fresh Oil]

How is api back? Jaws don’t heal that quick right.

Got a few Flatliners in there.
