Politoni on the bench 😕 Surely after a few losses, he's gota be starting?

on paper thats a strong team! hopefully the boys can kick back into gear and start playing like we know they can!

When I was in Fiji I went to a league game and they players were very aware of Koroibete. Quite a few of them were very keen to follow in his footsteps. Fiji is such a massive potential source of good league players - the game is growing rapidly and the standard of the game I saw was pretty damn good.

He has been starting Watto, and has done very little since returning from injury.

On paper that team SHOULD beat the Eels, but it all boils down to the mental application of the players. Lately they just haven't been bothered to play for one another but if they take a good hard look at themselves and knuckle down, then they can give this comp a shake.

Good to see the massive Fijian Taqele Naiyaravaro hold his spot in the centres. With some hard work on his defence and fitness, this bloke could be a wrecking ball in a couple of years.

Marika Koroibete is a gun, BMM sux, won't win if he plays, very lazy. Need Spence in 2nd row to do some real work.

Not playing at his best since coming back… Playing great before the injury..hope he gets that form back on Sunday.
Good team on paper..Could be the start of a winning run this week.... I am feeling confident.

They play the bottom 2 teams in the run home don't they?

A much needed win today, BMM showed improved form. The team started off a bit more disciplined employing a grinding style of play which layed a useful platform for a win, didn't see much of the new Fijian centre, he was there for most of the game but appeared to be getting used to the team, he was moved in closer in the second half and had more of a chance to get involved.

BMM played most of the game and had no strapping ,had good involvement looks like getting close to full fitness.There also was another big unit I had not seen before front row I think scored a try.

Jay Masueli is the front rower goes good..the inclusion of him and Taqele Naiyaravaro have given us that go forward missing in the last few games. BMM fired up looked good even Miller got aggressive and his best game in ages. The forwards won the game yesterday.
Most of them played well..Best game from Politoni since his return.

Need to hold onto that ball and they can beat anyone..they lost the ball at least 3 times on the set of six just after scoring need to fix that up.
