Utter nonsense.

Nah it's true. The level you're at by the end of the off season is generally the best you'll be throughout the season. After the comp starts it's all about trying to maintain your gains.

If you hadn't gotten polio as a kid you'd know that.

I wouldn't get too upset guys. We have won some games this year when Toutai was playing.
This could be a chance for him to redeem himself.

Not sure why people think Sio offers more than Toutai. They are both first grade quality backs. Sio is faster and more agile, Toutai is more of a big, powerful winger. Both are ordinary defenders at times, because they're wingers. Both can have a shocker under the high ball, although Sio has improved a lot in that area he's still not exactly a vault. They can both score a try, 10 for Sio and 7 for Toutai. Toutai does a lot more work than Sio in terms of helping the forwards out. Sio has more experience and panics less when he does make an error, but Toutai will grow into that.

Ultimately, they're about the same level, so it depends if you want speed or power and BA seems to want Toutai's bigger, stronger frame. Possibly to complement what Radradra offers on the other side, and also because we are light in the pack with the injuries we have. Whatever the reason I rate both, but you can't pick both.

Great post compared to all your others.

Is it possible he's in reserve grade now for the same reason he was in reserve grade in round one? Or is the conspiracy theory more likely?

Train to Robina, I assume they have public transport to the stadium or its a 15 min walk.
