Terrified. Suli is going to have a day out. As crazy as Naden has been I would much rather him at centre rather than Staines.
Some odd selections.
In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)
what does anyone know about Porter ? has played for cook islands ? anyone seen him ? rate him ?
what on earth is naden going to so off the bench ?
maybe is hunt, sua, lomax don't play we might get a win but doubtful
Positives are Lobb at wing good to see him go and presumably goal kicking
Benji has lost me .. thinking he should be looking at a move back into the media, head coaching is not his thing unfortunately! You never change the culture by rewarding mediocrity it’s been happening at this club for over a decade! He had the chance to stamp his authority this week but crickets …
what do you mean the merry-go-round selections are odd 🤷♂️😂🤣… been happening for years‼️Some odd selections.
Watch out for the bergs
@jedi-tiger would think Naden will do a Simpkin tbh 🤷♂️let’s chalk up 9 right now
Watch out for the bergs
I read this 2 times as Noddy 🤣😂@tiger5150 Nobody told the coach Staines can’t tackle 😂
Watch out for the bergs
I’d say trying show his trade value to the UK@jedi-tiger would think Naden will do a Simpkin tbh 🤷♂️let’s chalk up 9 right now
permanently sitting on the bench won’t sell him off lolsI’d say trying show his trade value to the UK@jedi-tiger would think Naden will do a Simpkin tbh 🤷♂️let’s chalk up 9 right now

Some very interesting selections. Suli vs Staines will be something to see.

who was he bringing in to stamp his authority? The entire roster is mediocre
This side is very very strange
Naden is ill disciplined, low RL IQ and I share everyones view on his value and longevity at the club. That said, he runs hard, tackles hard, has speed and is strong which cant be said for any of the alternatives for that position. Yes he is a potential massive liability, but IMO the alternatives are just liabilities.
Makes no sense having Naden on the bench, until you see Staines at centre. If you need to "cover" for a selection, dont make that selection IMO.
Also for all those advocating that we let Stef walk for anything above $600-700K, a 27yo debutatnt that no one has heard of is "next man up".
