Can’t expect to take the spot of someone in a losing team. Teammates might think it’s disrespectful, but does that mean they think they are entitled to positions regardless of performance.

What boggles my mind is noone is mentioning that imo Api should have told Benji he will go to the bench and help Tallyn along and take a paycut to make it happen so the club won't lose a 10 year first grader. Isn't that what leaders do. Unless there more behind the scenes we don't know about and the club wanted Tallyn out.

Elephant in the room is that seems to be a click developing in the club that some of those that were our future 6 months are not part of.

It’s a double edged sword breeding this culture where we’re signing all these sets of brothers. Even people here are acknowledging if we upset one, we run the risk of upsetting the lot. Or if one leaves, they all do.

It is interesting. I have noticed a drop in Api’s performance between when he first arrived and now. What will he look like in 2 or 3 years time.

Yes and he’s like a fish out of water when asked to play halfback.
Plenty want to blame Heath Mason for last weeks debacle where we had no idea what we were doing iin attack until Doueihi stepped into the halves midway through the 2nd half, but if we want to stop playing favourites it was Api having no idea what he was doing at 7 which was the main reason why our attack looked so lost.

I said before the game people would blame Mason, like it was his decision to go to fullback. And that’s what they did.

He is ordinary mate … anywhere he plays…

He might turn out to be a good player … but it’s way to early yet

Mason has been struggling for confidence and not running the ball enough himself over the past few weeks.
The problem with that is his running game is his strength and he has been looking unsure and clunky when trying to create for others.
However we have plenty of other highly paid fan favourites who have been creating sweet fa in attack themselves, yet they never get criticised ?
Api tries his heart out, but he misses a high amount of tackles every week, he’s clearly not an 80minute player and he’s definitely not a halfback.
Can you honestly tell me that Api at halfback was any better than Heath Mason in the first half last week ? Surely you can’t as Api was totally lost, he looked extremely clunky and done nothing for us as a 7.
I know Api didn’t select himself at 7, so it’s master Benji’s fault, but let’s not sugar coat the real issues.

Api is the second coming and will not be criticised on these boards

If he ever gets selected to play 7 again, Benji should be sacked on the spot.
And surely Richo has to tell Benji to call Ivan Cleary and let him explain the reason as to why he never played Api for the full 80mins.
Honestly when is common sense going to be applied to our team selections and the use of our interchange ?
