Merrit in Doubt

I heard the Fonz was injured, or taking a week off to make sure it was good, playing it safe?

Not sure about validity of it though...

The value of depth.
Saleh already seems to have been a good purchase, with Franze possibly not 100% & Merrit in doubt, Vagana injured, etc etc.

This might be his opportunity.

So we've got plenty of outside backs, good for us
Simmons would have done the job and would have been blooded in a game against a side who isnt one of the strongest in the comp

What about the 5/8? And hooker. Those positions should have been filled before the frivolous purchase of Saleh.

Ankles are simple to treat. Franze did his the Thursday before he made Gasnier look like an inept hack in the semis in '02.

They'll strap it, and he'll play.

If Saleh gets the nod he'd wanna do something real good. I've got a pretty low opinion of his talents. I'd love for him to make me eat my words.

Well it looks like I'm the only one giving him any credit.
I guess it depends on how Saleh fits in & what his role is. maybe there are salary cap constraints to how they play him?
I have no doubt about his ability to find the line, take the hard early hit ups & to tighten the flanks.
I just hope that if he gets a run, he gets some credit for the hard yards, that he will do.

Gasnier made Gasnier look like an inept hack, which he clearly is in defence
Franze merely had the tactical knowledge to run at him
:lol:
