[Noise]

I think they refer to it as managed now days, its more polite than saying he was dropped or rested

Can call it whatever you like. His poor defensive form is the reason he isn't playing this week.

Ofahengaue has dropped his guts for sure and Katfusi has just smelt it.

And Feldt is slowly realising that it’s not Capewell’s finger tapping him in the back.

 

[Pazza]

That's scary

Maybe ba should watch it

This stuff is too advanced for BA

He is from the Stephen Kearney coaching tree after all.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Dropped from first grade. Not embarrassing him further by making him front up for reserve grade. If our centres and wingers play well (and don't get injured) do you think they will drop them the following week just because Fergo has had his rest?

Why not? They would need to provide plenty of go forward to replace Ferguson. Don't forget our defence is likely to look much better because Drown is back, and we're playing the Knights. They have the 14th ranked attack in the NRL. It's a great time to give some kids a run.

Even at 190cm his arms are not long enough to cover two attackers.

Yep. I'd be surprised if he's missing more than one game but then if he is they may actually have to give a reason or explanation.

Pou can be an irascible blowhard, imperious with little patience. Have to admit that he does seem to know a bit though.

He still shits me and I could squash him like a piss ant

 

[emjaycee]

No impact on my life so it must be the subject.

Ahh, but which subject.. the club is mentioned however the player may be inferred.

 

[emjaycee]

It's a great time to give some kids a run.

In 2020 we were forced to debut a youngster (Dunster) in a semi-final.
That is never ideal.

Great idea to try and get some debuts out of the way earlier in the year if the game and our ladder position enables it. Give the guys who might be called upon at least 1 or 2 games in FG before the finals in case we need them.

Dunno, never met him.

Ah yes, the English language. Full of inferences, metaphors, homonyms and tacit nods.

Unfortunately we really mucked up the backend of last year. We basically had to win our last game to get into the top 4 when we should never have been in that position considering the start to the year we had.

So i dont think we had a chance to bring anyone new in so we had to roll the dice with the top 17 to scrape into the 4. Then injuries and suspension struck come finals time which left us with no choice

Absolutely. Most definitely a failing last year. Shows we're learning.

A shame we didn’t do this last year when waqa, fergo and sivo were having shockers

Perhaps the youngsters weren't deemed to be ready then.

Maybe not. But we also had Gennings on our books too

But then who would’ve we brought in when he had a shocker the next week?

 

[Avenger]

Hasn’t Dunster been killing it in reserves?
