Nicho On All Stars Significance

[DJDL]

The SMH has an article with Nicho voicing his thoughts on the All Stars match.
Not a bad read.

The main thing which caught my eye though was this quote:
"Hynes made special mention of powerhouse prop Tuku Hau Tapuha, who made his debut for the Roosters, and was “someone to look out for” after an impressive summer in the Shire."

That's him and Fitzy giving Tuku a rap in quick succession.
Fingers crossed their beliefs are on the money.
I think we're all in agreeance we need a point of difference in the forwards.
He just might be a piece of the puzzle.

Which reminds me: interesting to note BHU didn't make the Maori squad, but Royce did.
I'm telling you, BHU's a bum.
Now get out there and prove me wrong you pharquing pillow!!

Whilst I tend to agree about the pillow part, I think BHU is Samoan hence why he wasn't selected.

I was wondering about that, but Royce is Samoan and he’s picked.
Maybe BHU is Tongan.
‘Scuse my ignorance, but I thought they were all Māori.

Tell you who wouldn't make the team if they were Maori - the Chad.

Good old Wikipedia has solved this.

BHU is of Samoan, English and Tokelau descent.

Royce is of Maori, Hawaiian and Samoan descent.

 

[R-15-3]

BHU still not fit after injury I believe won’t be till rd2-4 so will likely start the season with the Jets. Or I’m completely wrong who knows

Yeah, but.........., but. BHU has already played for NZ (2019 vs Australia)



I don't think he was available due to surgery in off season anyway.

Read the info minge. NZ Maori.

 

[Special K]

I hope theres no injuries in the All stars game. It is great for all the players but shit for clubs and fans (as is origin).

How f**ken bad is Chad btw.

I had a Tuku story come my way last night which makes me think this guy really wants it.

All stars can f**k off. Injury waiting to happen for this exhibition match. Fitz must hate it.

Maybe the point is that not all NZers are Māori…

Bailey Biondi-Odo the only other sort of half in the side as well.

Should be good for our lads to play most of the game together.

I will have a fair case of the Edgar Britts if one or the other or both get wounded though.

 

[Weaponhead]

Trindall and Hynes will be playing from the back foot behind that pack.

Just like most games, I guess.

 

[Frenzy.]

See Niwhai Puru's brother on the bench there

 

[roboshark]

Yes I hate these games. Nothing to gain and plenty to lose AFAIC

 

[Frenzy.]

Indi girls are going good.
