Probably a graze or a carpet burn

 

[Tigerm]

Very encouraging news.

If anyone is interested and has the day spare.

I haven't checked this, but this guy is usually pretty good.

 

[Nutz]

Ages ago I said Latu Fainu would make a good 14 to give Api a spell. He has played there before and can pass left or right. He can play direct and sniff out the gaps too.
Well, in the preseason, he's been seen training at dummy half.
Meaning AD will most likely stay at 7 unless things go pair shaped.

 

[Tigerm]

Not sure where this comes from, but not a bad starting 17.
Edit: I left Bad out of my comment.

Not sure where this comes from, but a bad starting 17.

That looks to be out top 17. Personally I'd have Pole off the bench and Sione stating at lock but the top 17 looks good.

I wonder how Latu will go subbing Api ? Personally I think he is better in the halves but Api needs to be managed.

I thought it is a good 17.

I've been calling this for ages. He'll go alright.
Twal is better at defending and should start. Sione has proven he's better at impact off the bench.
The thing you have to ask yourself, what reserve could do a better job primarily as a dummy half for Api and secondly as a utility if a back goes down.
Jared Haywood, too early
Tristan Hope, yes
Latu Fainu, yes
Who else is there?

I like this lineup but Hunt's the mystery imo.

Ha ha. I just couldn't shake that error page where it read Oops Houston We Have a Problem. Finally back up and running again now.

You have been. I hope he kills it.

Twal is better at defending and should start. Sione has proven he's better at impact off the bench.

I reckon Sione deserves a starting spot and I like Pole off the bench. It's not going to make a big difference though. We need our pack to stand up.

Tristan Hope, yes
Latu Fainu, yes

I think Hope can do the job but I'd prefer Latu off the bench. Latu has something special.

I like this lineup but Hunt's the mystery imo.

Hunt or Bunty should get the spot. We have some back-up here.

Not sure where this comes from, but a bad starting 17.

How the fk did Benji snare this group of players in a year.. plus or minus

Must have been ages ago coz the last I heard you said in no uncertain terms AD can’t play half Latu should be there …To admit you were wrong is an opportunity for growth! Not the end of the world

Yes, it seems that message has disappeared.

The change in the squad is amazing. The weakness if you are being picky is an impact middle forward but it's being picky.

I still the issue is the spine firing but based on contract dollars I view that as being about Api and Luai delivering.
