Team v Roosters

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Give CNK a go and drop Maumalo to the Fox Memorial because if he goes ISP, he will be the man again and everybody will say we should try Maumalo again. I just hope CNK can step up to first grade if given a shot.

What is the bet they bring Tui in for Kata? You know it's going to happen...

Hopefully this CNK kid goes well and when Kata back (hamstring) Ken can get on the bus!

Great move, esp with no Tui

 

[jaseg]

He deserves this shot - was in the NSW cup team of the year at centre last year, too (beyond this season's form at fullback) - I wouldn't be too surprised if he played left centre and they kept the right edge as is, though I don't think that's what they're going to do.

Tui had to be 3rd in line after CNK and Allwood (because it's a like for like).

Manu@18, could he come in for someone? CNK? Ken?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Manu in for Ken pls

 

[WithTheDawn]

Really happy to see CNK in the side, such a talent. Be good to see how he goes. Hopefully he plays centres with Fus on the wing though hey?

I'd rather see Manu play some minutes in reserves this week to make sure he is recovered, then in next week for Ken.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

i hope the blake fus combo continues, they getting a good grasp of each others games

... which is about the time Ayshford got chopped last year and then brought back as a 79th minute super sub

which brings us back to McDud still having a say in decisionmaking on and off the field...

 

[Meth]

oh cool. tbh, I'd rather see Vatuvei in for Maumalo if he's fit enough, but CNK is exciting

 

[JJ]

Manu will play if he's ready, surely, the question is for who - I suspect in order from most likely to least it's CNK, Ayshford, Maumalo... Ayshford should be the first centre picked, and Maumalo is just strange imo - hopefully it's him, but hopefully he can find a role longer-term

CNK will cement his spot by the end of the year. Bank on it.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Good on CNK for making the team. Hope he has a great debut.
