Struggling to understand what Lolohea has done to earn his way back into the team… And equally mystified why Aloiai can't get a run.

Probably cause he kicked 3 of 3 in ISP he is the least of our worries.

Anyhow I'm more amazed at how Reynolds gets a call up to the top squad, he barely lasted 15mins last time he returned and got injured again. Should be in ISP this week to get match fitness

It was either Reynolds or Pita, to make sure we cover the halves if they go down or get hooked. I am expecting Liddle to play good minutes this week and Josh to give him a rest at some point.

Kicked 3 from 3 and set up a nice try. I don't expect any different from Tui bashers. They are staunch. Its a given they'll complain about his fitness again too.

Because he is overrated big time.

Memory serves he kicked the winning goal from the sideline in Round 1

Not saying he has played as well as 2017 , but he has done some important things

He was the one with the smarts to get his foot in the in goal which lead to the 7 tackle set and the Marshall field goal

Directly connected him to major roles in 2 wins , not too bad me thinks Col

Due to match fitness I would have Pita…. oh well

 

[Spud_Murphy]

I have no idea how Tui has got a spot in this team. He seems slow, lazy & disinterested. Look at the Penrith ISP highlights . A revolving door on one try & no effort to repell the other. Corey Thompson has been electric & totally committed every game. Corey deserves the fullback spot he has not put a foot wrong in defence and attack.

I agree, no way Thompson deserves to be shafted onto the wing, he is a good fullback. Tui has been a major disappointment. For someone who has been given the chance to make the No 1 spot his own at a new club, he doesn't seem to want to grab it with both hands. I know he has had some injury issues of late, but even before then, Thompson showed way more enthusiasm and commitment in the role.

Think Col is referring to Aloiai as being overrated. I could be wrong though!

I would love for him to absolutely kill it on the weekend. I just haven’t seen anything from him this year that warrants selection. You’d have to be looking through some very rose coloured glasses to say he’s been a good signing to date.

And given we are linked to every fullback that comes to market I’m assuming Ivan has some concerns over him being our long term fullback too.

 

[TYGA]

I like the Tui selection Marsters has missed every kick from out wide. Thompson is a better fullback but an even better winger.

Tui has been disappointing no doubt but for some reason I feel better with him at fullback.
I think this is last chance saloon for Tui and I suspect Cleary is testing the waters before commiting to Mbye.

 

[The_Patriot]

Thanks coach.

Almost there.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Who are the refs?

 

[Geo]

Getting a link…never mind..merged..

Expect changes..

Really…?.changes...?.

Sue needs to pass cog tests Aloiai not named in ISP..

18 and 19 are never named in ISP.

Round 1… 18 David Nofoaluma 19 Matt McIlwrick
ISP Round 1..... 2\. David Nofoaluma 9\. Matt McIlwrick

 

[Russell]

Hopefully when Reynolds is fully fit Aloiai can make his way back into the starting 17 with Benji gone. Preferably starting Second Row with Lawrence and Chee-Kam on the bench.

Drop your most consistent player to the bench…. that's clever.

[Monnas]

This is my favourite 1-5 lineup this year. Interesting fact that the combined height of our wingers is 9feet 10inches(the same size as Corey Iates or Addo Carr individually). They will kill it though with 2 BEAST centres inside them.

 

[tiga4eva]

Aloiai will play, not sure for who.

 

[will1999]

I think Naiqama has been playing better than Nofaluma
