Just when you thought we had seen the last of Nofo. Let’s hope his learnt how to run straight, learnt to tackle, stay on his wing etc.
Hope Api has some decent ear plugs I’m sure the Penrith players will be in his ear all game.
Is Staines injured?
Is Staines injured?
Charlie Staines is out indefinitely after suffering a stomach injury against Manly Sea Eagles last Sunday.
Also missing through illness is Asu Kepaoa.
David Nofoaluma returns for his first NRL match since Round 3, replacing Staines on the wing.
Based on last weeks KOE performance he hasn’t learnt anything. Still crabs across the field. I’m in shock over his selection. My confidence in the coaching staff is at an all time low.Just when you thought we had seen the last of Nofo. Let’s hope his learnt how to run straight, learnt to tackle, stay on his wing etc.
hope nofo is not marking Brian T
If Staines and AJ are out, we don't really have many options unfortunately.
Hate the bench. Talau had zero impact on Sunday (other than a really lazy effort on the Saab try), and Simpkin only played three mins. Hopefully changes are forthcoming - we can't carry two players in the 17 not contributing.
Was surprised to see Nofoaluma back but with the injuries it’s not surprising. however I would have put Talau there rather than the bench.
Bench needs a revision, we are going to struggle if we go in with that
@mike I don’t think it helps to make 2/3 positional changes for one position. Moving them around I’m sure you know doesn’t help with combination’s or confidence and we are lacking in both
@avocadoontoast Laurie on the wing won’t happen Sheens has made the statement that he’s not a winger
