Rumours and Stuff

[Incorrect]

I'm expecting the following until Guth comes back;
1. Hayne
2. Kirisome
3. Jennings
4. Taka
5. French

Then when Guth is fit, he either is a straight swap for Taka and Taka goes to the bench, or Guth goes to fullback, Hayne to centre and Taka to bench

BA loves french as a fullback ... i reckon he will strt the year there

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So Kirsome is now better then Taka?

Maybe not a better all round player, but I reckon Auva'a is a better outside back.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He went ok. Also had some great games where he had better form at Fullback then Bevan. People say against storm if Bevan played forgetting Smith was MOM for us or close too.

I thought Smith was our best against the Storm, but an absolute liability against the Cowboys, long range try notwithstanding.

So perhaps rotating him might be worth considering.

Make him face our tryline?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Only pick him when he's going to play well.

Yeh, that was what I was thinkin.

If both cost the same and could have either part of the squad who do you take?

I like Auvaa and he will get better. Taka bring energy. He fires up the team mates. He is aggressive. I have him in the team for that alone.

If I had 16 players already and just needed a wing or centre I would take Auva'a. No bullshit. But I don't see what both players offer off the field.

Well Arthur's has picked Auva'a in reserve grade but never picked Takairangi anywhere other than in the NRL team, so he obviously prefers him.

 

[hindy111]

On wing perhaps Auvaaa yes. At centre id stick with the Tak man.

 

[hindy111]

Ive hear it was Taka who was so inspirational in training session and not Watmough. This is a bit of a conspiracy theory doing the rounds.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You need more than one bloke with experience and leadership. You need a good core of the merkins.

 

[T.S Quint]

I do not see the issue with this

1 Gutherson
2 Bevan
3 Jennings
4 Taka
5 Hayne

Big strong and mobile with plenty of pace and tough players. I am open to Taka in second row it just means Tepai plays more minutes at Prop.

Auvau on wing mean everytime there is a bomb we will all be nervous. Whatever BA choses id be happy with and I like how we have guys like Hoffman-Auvau-Smith who may not even be good enough for our top 17. 5 yrs ago theyd be in our top half of players. Great too see how far the club has come.

I would probably pick that line up as well, however we pretty much know for sure that Hayne will not be playing on the wing.
Not much use debating about Taka or Auva'a in the centres when chances are Hayne will be playing there.

BA did say that all spots are up for grabs. Maybe we'll see Jenko at hooker.

BA might have said it...but I don't really believe him.

I don't either.

 

[T.S Quint]

I don't either.

So we're in agreement. BA is a f**ken liar!
