............

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Strong team again. Interesting that Tuki is on the bench with Amone in the starting side.

 

[Sabre]

What's happened to Gebbie?

 

[Shooter Mcgavin]

Willie Kei in Flegg this week too. Haven’t seen him play, he is development contract which is interesting and he has been in and out of KOE with injury from memory. Anyone shed any light on whether this may be performance based or confidence based coming back from multiple niggles?

 

[OzLuke]

still suprised stefano got dropped....

how is Simpkins going?

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

What's happened to Gebbie?

Got dropped.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

What's happened to Gebbie?

Homesick 😂

 

[tony soprano]

Might head out to this one

How long before Tuki Simpkins becomes disillusioned.

Not being rewarded at all!

 

[Guest]

Wow that's a strong side although young Tuki can feel hard done by being on the bench IMO.

 

[JC99]

Tuki will get at least half a game, if Chee is 18th man like normal he'll only play 40 mins or less

 

[WT2K]

Strong team. Both flegg and this on the same day. Good day out at Lidcombe.

Gun team. Dias, Simpkins and a goer like Freebairn coming off the bench.

Imagine you're Canberra and you've seen off units like Musgrove, Tuilagi, Amone and Stefano only to have Dias and Tuki now coming at you.

 

[Roar_Power]

Amone at lock is interesting.

 

[jrtiger]

Amone at lock is interesting.

think its reached the point where he simply has to start. rather difficult to do so with Musgrove and Stef already in the front row. makes sense he's therefore at 13. feel for Tuki though, bit hard done by there.

Good day of football - 3 games.

Tuki will get his shot and seems to have a head on his shoulders. You could argue he's unlucky that we've had so few injuries or suspensions otherwise he might have had a bigger role to play already.

Maybe it’s as simple as giving everyone some good game time? These blokes will get there turn in FG at some stage this year.

I wouldn't worry too much about the team list..If they run out as named I'd be extremely surprised..

Hopefully Utoikamanu gets good minutes into him...if that's what needs to happen to increase his minutes in FG ..then OK..

Jake just needs to play what got him into FG in the 1st place..

Cini should enjoy being down a grade too..
