Don't mind that at all. Will be interesting to see how Bateman handles the defensive load in the middle, because he's got the skill to play as a moder...

Haha touche. I am not a fan either tbh. I would prefer to keep Naden at right centre to take on Cobbo - throw whoever on the left wing.

I think Toa is supposed to be back? If so, I'd expect to see him in the backline somewhere.

Luai will 100% be the #7 next year. He even mentioned it in his media appearances mid week as to what he's been signed for. Galvin could well end u...

Cotric was one of the best outside backs in the comp a few years back. Not sure what's driven his drop in fortune, but he can't be any worse than the ...

Agree, and he'll have to get used to that. Still, I thought he handled himself well - didn't panic. Just wasn't a game breaker as per his last game. ...

One word: progress. Really disappointing in many ways, but I'm actually relatively pleased after that loss. I can see where we're going and what so...

And we thought the Olam ankle tap would be the worst call of the day....

Effort is there, execution sorely lacking far too often. One pass (or a tackled support player...) away from a try on more than one occasion.

No one straightening again. Same issue every week.

I don't know how they didn't see it live (between the ref and touchie), but to have the advantage of replay and still get it wrong is embarrassing.

That, plus a lot of our edge combinations have changed pretty regularly. Naden muffed a tricky catch and pass opportunity mid day through the first...

Sezer and Papali'i on report. Sezer was lucky not to give away a penalty for running into the kicker. Didn't see what Papali'i got done for.

A more cast-iron sin bin, you will never see. Pathetic refereeing.

The other Large brother (Onitoni) is a talent as well. He's out injured at the moment. In other news, the boys won today so will play the warriors ...
