[mikey]

Bout what you would expect - sigh.

 

[Yossarian]

I can see some members of the extended squad drifting into the team in future weeks. Who's relieving TDS? Surely he's not expected to play 80 minutes.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

I don't like Fonua Pole in the backrow, I sort of remember it failing last season.

But I guess it's partly to have a big body there opposite David Fifita.

I'm hoping the only reason Naden is there is 'shop window' strategy!

Api will relieve TDS with Naden shifting into halves, Faataape into centres. That's my take.

Probably see Naden to 5/8 and Solo to centre with Api going to Hooker when he needs a break

We are on a hiding to nothing this week with their size and pace

 

[jadtiger]

That is about as weak as i expected,Lobb and Naden starting and and AD named in the squad despite not having played a game in a year.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

God that's a grim team list. I thought last week was bad. This team would be competitive in reserve grade.

 

[jadtiger]

God that's a grim team list. I thought last week was bad. This team would be competitive in reserve grade.

That would make a change because our reserve grade are very UNcompetitive

 

[watersider]

Wow, took one week for the Simpkin departure to hurt us. What did we get in exchange?

 

[Wagga_Tiger]

Id bring Mason in instead of Faatappe, way more value.

 

[happy_tiger]

Thought Olam was out with a knee injury

 

[Yossarian]

Api will relieve TDS with Naden shifting into halves, Faataape into centres. That's my take.

That seems extremely disruptive.

Where the hell is LaTu Fainu ??

 

[KingRobbie]

Where the hell is LaTu Fainu ??

Injured; hamstring.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Wow, took one week for the Simpkin departure to hurt us. What did we get in exchange?

Money

 

[Halbrowne61]

Where the hell is LaTu Fainu ??

Still home with his dodgy hamstring.

 

[The Chad]

We'll probably win this.

I actually don't mind Pole in the back row. I'm not certain he has the bulk in the middle.

Seyfarth demoted due to brain explosions. Kepaoa released because of brain explosions. I assume Naden is on a short leash.

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Why is Bula #21?…

Very positive thinking but I’ll give you a quiet tip, Gold Coast by 13+.
