A few people have mentioned that they might be trying to push fui to 200 first grade games. Would fui really give a shit about 197 or 200 first grade games? He'l be filthy he is dropped either way. I don't think the 200 games milestone would be high in his priority list.

No one is bigger than the team. I love Fui. He has been great for us but he is going very poorly and needs to be dropped.

I think rather than dropping Fui to Wenty, he's probably in the category of guys who you'd just give a week off to here and there, in the hope that the break would mean he could play the games he is selected for at full pelt.

That way he'd get his 200 games up at some point in the year, with enough rest between his games to make quality contributions to the side.

Hopefully nothing serious. At least he doesn't have to play in the shitty city/country game.

Would take McKendry, would've taken Taupau, dunno if that ship has sailed. Would also have had a look at Kasiano. You would think that is the type of front rower we are missing. Terepo just doesnt have the punch, full of desire but a bit like TLL from the faiders, they hit the line hard but nothing happens.

The Hayne nonsense is certainly mis-timed, last year he could've been critised for not turning up but I think this year with some options around him I could barely find a fault in recent performances.

All of the rest of the elite QLDer's are more hit and miss than he is, at least in the first 8 rounds, Inglis is the golden child this week, but I reckon Hayne was he's equal last week, just unlucky we didn't beat the tigers took some shine off his game.

With Hoppa, reserve judgement til half way through the year. I can see why people may start to be getting itchy with him.

Wonder if a run for AUS can do anything for Billy Slater, been horrible this year and I am enjoying the experience...

AC joint injury from first minute last night. 3-4 weeks.

Shows his passion that he stayed out there for 80mins

Pretty gutsy stuff from Hayne if the extent of the injury is true.

It would also explain a lot of his problems with picking up the ball and ball security.

Big test for the team now if Jarryd misses the next 2 rounds.

heard on FB Hayne should be fine for the Sharks game, Peats picked up a niggle as well and is having a week off.
