He was no chance last week either but they have to name 21 players. Arthur's wants him gaining fitness.
When its not your season it is not your season this just happens more often then not for us and when it rains it pours.
But is Hayne a better winger than a centre? And if so is Auva'a at least as good at centre as Hoffman is on the wing?
He's our equal top tryscorer (4 tries) with Gennings who has played an extra four games.
Evans played almost 60 minutes for Wenty and struggled through about half of them. There is clearly a plan to get him fit and assuming we're a chance of winning in first grade you don't want to give long minutes to a bloke who can't cope with it. In reserve grade no merkin cares.
Why would a salmon sink ffs?!?
Disrupted pre-season. That's when players build their fitness. There usually isn't enough time to improve fitness much once the season has started. Game day, recovery and fieldwork take up a lot of the time, and building fitness requires fatiguing the body and rest days. There isn't much time to fit it in through the week.
He and Pritchard were both available in the first few rounds.
Depends how fit they are.
The racism thing might be a factor this week. But you're right, he might just have a shit attitude.
FFS Gary!
Does it matter if Hayne is as good a winger as he is a center? If the centers are well covered, and he can provide more than anyone else, the attributes that we so sorely miss in Semi, Shouldn't he be the first picked on the wing?
You should have seen what I did to the other side.
He could be a dog salmon. They're paw swimmers.
Probably. But given Hayne's versatility, when deciding between Hoffman and Auva'a you don't need to compare them at the same position.
Given Smith played longer minutes than King when both were sharing minutes at hooker I'd say he still rates Smith ahead of King. Vave's brief cameo in the starting side for 22 minutes proves that starting doesn't mean you're the better than the players on the bench. Edwards was playing longer minutes of the bench than most of our forwards as well.
