Dylan Lucas is a good player but did Haumole Olakau'atu deserve to be dropped completely? No strange aswell?

What the hell

Haumole had some errors, however watching the game live he was one of the only ones playing with true passion and aggression in the first half. The rest perked up when they were running downhill against 12. He should not have been dropped, although it does look like he might be nursing a lower leg injury.

I thought Houmole was strong. I rate Lucas big time but this clown of a coach has replaced a right edge backrower who played well with a left edge backrower who has never played Origin. The guy is a complete fruitloop

Will api get on the field and for how many mins?

No doubt that will probably depend on the state of the game but I’d say only if Robson gassed or injured.
I don’t think APIs a match winner in that company anymore ! He’s just the next most suitable player as back up hooker.
Could be wrong but I doubt it.
