Hard luck to the big fella but I really hope this gives Koroibete his shot. It's truly long overdue.

 

[NZTiger]

Yeah that Fijian kid would be worth a shot…I can see Sheens sticking Reddy on the wing tbh.
Maybe Koroibete will geta bench spot.

Gee hope we get all the injuries done and dusted and out of the way for the back end of the season >_<

sorry to say this,but it could be a blessing in disguise

 

[NZTiger]

Agreed. Utai has been hot and cold for far too long :frowning:

Gee I really miss Tuiaki :frowning:

Yeah agree. Always had big wraps on Matty, the dirty stuff he does with the ball is invaluable. But geez he is a liability in defence and gets caught out all the time

Sheens will still select him

 

[Guest]

Time to debut Koroibete and I'd consider Reddy at fullback for next week. Humble's positioning tonight wasn't great and I think Reddy will be more of a handful in returning the ball.

 

[biggest_tigers_fan]

agreed willow.What about chisolm for fb and humble to the bench or wing?

 

[Jazza]

Any chance of the coach possibly rushing Lote back? I seem to remember reading in the off season he'll be back around rd 4, maybe a week early?

 

[Snake]

Blood someone new for the expireance until Lote returns as who knows how many games Lote will play.

Lote won't be rushed. Koroibete deserves his chance IMO. He's lightning quick, strong, has brilliant acceleration…Defensively he won't be any worse than Utai but outside Lawrence I think he'll be dynamite if he gets put on the outside of his opposite.

Yeah it sure could be. Hopefully we'll see this Koroibete in action.

Gee I really miss Tuiaki

I wish some of our forwards would hit it up with the same vigor as Utai, but very hard to watch in defense.

sweet

 

[BeeJay]

Perhaps a blessing in disguise. Give a young guy a go or bring lote back if ready.
Utai can battle it out for the utility spot on the bench when he is fit and ready.

 

[happy_tiger]

Sheens will go with Meaney or possibly even Simona in my opinion

 

[alexaki]

Blessing in disguise… Sheen will see how one dimensional Utai is...Lote should be back rd3 or 4
