You're kidding Milky! You're going to shovel Thompson to the wing for Tui? Thompson has been a revelation at the back this year and Lolohea has been unfit/ injured/ out of form all year. I'm not even sure if he's available. It's interesting how fans get fixated with the worth of a player while pillorying another player unmercifully.

We scored one try in 80 mins of footy against the warriors…

We also had two players in the sin bin for 20 minutes, 40% possession and were hamstrung by Benji's poor kicking and decision making. How is moving one of our best attacking weapons to the wing and promoting a player who is helplessly out of form going to help us?

Because Thompson can continue his kick returns and ball support whilst playing wing, AKA Vunivalu or JAC.

We need someone at the back who can create something out of nothing, a ball player…

And someone who has a semblance of form, thereby deserving to be promoted!

Yes, Tui has been hindered by a knee injury. Even Cleary said he will be back.

But not yet Milky. He needs to build some confidence and form in ISP first. Have you watched ISP? Even down there he has been ordinary. Don't get me wrong, I like Tui and want him to realise his potential but he's simply not up to first grade yet, especially at fullback!

 

[supercoach]

At the back end of 2017 Tui was great at no6, so why not give him a go. Benji in a very strong club might offer something but sadly we need a new no6

E.T can go to hooker when Liddle comes off and Aloiai can go to lock.

I think Grant has earned his spot. Kev and Rochow might need a break.

Escaped my mind. Omit Aloiai and put Eiso on the bench.

Completely agree… We weren't going this bad when Tui was at the back. Not that it's Thompsons fault

Marshall

Matulino - but needs to lift

Pretty much agree with that side although Rochow has to go. Can McQueen play both sides? Best backrower from ISP should get the call? And Grant to start if Rusty is a no show.

You can't have Fonua at 5 and 12 tacky.

Where is MCK - he had an ok game against the Warriors?
