I'll much rather a fit NRown come in for Makatoa than worry about JA.

At least NRown can share the workload alot more with the others and keep up a high enough level of skill.

Though I do want him to play the Marata kamakaze role. Safe ball playing and no 4th tackle settlers before the kick.
Marata is really doing his role well. Just hit it up hard into gaps. Use aggression to tackle and Nrown has to do the same.

Leave the forward ball playing to Matto and Paulo.

If the game is tight and there are no injuries, JA will only play 5-10 mins. If it goes down to the wire, he wont get any game time at all. Purely just there to cover injuries.

So for me, I wish NRown => Maka and if I can have a 2nd wish Carty => JA

FFS, how does that work?
If his crime deserves suspension, why are they letting it carry into next year?
Supports the theory that went around (was it Kenty) that said the MRC/NRL only cares about having everyone available for the semi's which is why NAS was only fined and not suspended.
Flabbergasted by this.

The integrity unit seems to have zero accountability. I do not know of any other body with punitive powers that isn't subject to a review mechanism

Unless there is an injury JA won't play any minutes unless we are well ahead or getting flogged.
We will roll with 3 forwards. And that's fine. I'd prefer Makatoa gone and N.Brown or Bryce. But watching Brown last week he looked cactus. He isnt adding much to what Makatoa is doing just experience. Id have Bryce.

Id don't rate or like JA being picked but if we are getting flogged we may as well take Moses off and keep him fresh and injury free for the following week.

I posted earlier in the week that since Rnd 19 Makka or Ogden have only got on the field for average 14 min. So coach does not rate them and prefers to rotate his Nos 8 - 15 forwards. So if Brown has rediscovered his passion, then thrown him I say.

Excellent work for pointing out someone else had a similar view. You should be working for the FBI. Nothing gets passed you.
I'm giving you two thumbs up 👍👍

I hope the 2nd one ends up in your anus
No, you borrowed his view. Anyway, keep me out of your creepy imagination please.

It is very clear he has no faith in Makatoa or any of the other interchangeable middle options that warm the bench.

May as well have Brown there and hope he reaches his ceiling in a welcome cameo.
