why was walker dropped any way? How did hicks go? whats the go with web?

I'd say walkers toe is giving him discomfort, by reports hicks went ok started slow but picked up. And Webb I'd say he is behind moi moi, allgood and mannah after they all put in strong displays last week.

After watching Rory Briens performance on saturday and knwoing he has played a lot of centre i woul of been tempted to put him in there.Im certain he would not let the team down


After watching him as well, I would like to say that that is a brilliant idea hindy111. It would go a long way to helping solve our defensive problems out wide for sure. But is he quick enough for 1st grade centre?

After watching Wenty on the weekend, the selection of Whatuira is a joke. That is all.


Nikki I think he just felt deflated after being so good in the trials and then not being picked to play in 1st grade. That happens with many players.

Sorry poor excuse. There will be plenty of good players playing for Wenty this year. They need to suck it up and play some decent footy. Not mope around like some diva.

I agree 100%. But just remember that Paul had been going through some tough personal demons, and MAYBE (I can't say for sure as I don't know the guy) he is still not 100% over them? Although I seriously doubt Kearney would select him if he was still struggling.

Prior to last weekend Whatuira had played one game since he left the UK. Had he played more trials he would've had more match fitness and Kearney probably would've included him for round 1.

As for Rory Brien, he might be fast but he doesn't seem explosive enough for centre. Not in first grade anyway.

Well done to everyone on here.

It is excellent that we all agree that said player will be referred to as 'fats'. His name is too f**ken hard - even for me. Fats it is.

As you were folks.

I always thought you were a simple fella.

Suity.

PS. I agree. Fats is the go.
