Okayyyy

 

[Camel2281]

I'd rather someone like Camroux get a start over Will Smith

 

[Asu Kepaoa's #1 Fan]

That team would be competitive in reserve grade.

Have you watched Camroux play?

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Mmmm I can smell a late change & debut for Josh Feledy on the bench.

Thus if Api needs a break, Will Smith to hooker, Reilly & Laurie in halves, Feledy to centre.

 

[earl]

I'd like to see Kit Laulilii come in in place of Matamua.

It's a decent team though apart from the halves.

 

[AdelaideTiger]

Is Will Smith really a better option than Wakeham?

Also how on earth is Talau back in the 22?

 

[Camel2281]

Have you watched Camroux play?

I've seen him play a cup game on Kayo once. But I've seen enough of Smith to know that I don't want to see him again

Will Smith does everything in 2nd gear that's Ressies pace . AJ still there and no backup dummy half ? . Hope Reilly doesn't hogg the ball this week .
Can somebody tell me what's wrong with Toa and Naden ???

To’a has a hamstring injury, Naden has a shoulder injury.

Will smith hasn’t played in like three weeks, interesting decision 🤔 Teddy is out for the roosters, and Sam walker is back.
Hopefully we can just play some good football, and chuck the ball around

 

[Telltails]

Shame for Jake Simpkin had a great game last week. Would have been good to see if he could back it up

Remember when we used to get injury updates

 

[Magpie_Magic]

Brooks must be a chance at a late inclusion hopefully.

Can't imagine they'll go with that.

He’s not in the 22, can’t be a late inclusion.

makes you wonder if anything else is going on with Naden?

 

[851]

In my opinion Naden is our best centre, but that bar is not set very high

 

[Stevec]

Yea new plan - leave the fans in the dark

 

[Tom Shines]

yeah … you might be right .. which is sad…

I got an inkling that there might be something going on with him… club seems dead silent on any injury issues
