He'd need to be able to tackle in there.

Staines, Seyfarth and To'a were all extended too

I suspect Benji has written off our chances v Sharks. I have. This won't produce our 2nd win out of 12 against them. So he wants to give Sullivan another chance to show his stuff. Which means he'll come on when the game is out of reach. Which could be just after half time

Maybe round 6 v Dragons

It won't be surprising if he has to be a late withdrawal, replaced by Kepaoa

How confident are you that we'll be better next round v Sharks?

So, Pole to 13. Who replaces him on the bench? Don't say Seyfarth.

What about Staines, Toa, Seyfarth? There's no depth to replace that many players. Magpies were thrashed today.

Yes, the officiating was not good. No, we shouldn't focus on it when it's not the reason for the loss.

Can't back up a runner. Can't kick (except a couple Galvin did). Can't compete for a high kick when we have 4 players there.

It wasn't a well officiated game, but that's no excuse for a 20 point loss.

That would be close to my team when fitness allows. Olam and Naden not back for round 3. Api needs a bench hooker, we can't expect him to carry the side for the whole 80. Simpkin to replace S Fainu. I don't know who the answer at 13 is. Sam Fainu is probably worth trying. Or Matamua again.

Really? Two Raiders tries were off ref errors. The Levi try, forward pass. The Savage blind side try, a strip penalty that wasn't.

Let's be real. The double wooden spooners have recruited no marquee players for 2024. We still have probably the weakest squad Unless several debutantes exceed expectations, bottom 4 if not spoon #3 coming up.

I've been trying to do that for a decade. Hasn't worked.

I haven't seen a lot of Sullivan. What makes you think he can't defend? Didn't he play some 9 at Dragons?

They were dominant against Knights, who are a much better side than us.

Not really, no. Tupou is fast in the open, but poor handling skills. To'a is meh.

Why would Sezer be in the 17 if injured?

With no Simpkin on the bench, perhaps Sullivan will go to DH to rest Api, Sezer to the 7 role
