[Manu Vatuvei]

It’s Tuaupiki my bro

 

[Meth]

It’s Tuaupiki my bro

my bad. I've been chronically misspelling his name in that case

 

[Blair]

my bad. I've been chronically misspelling his name in that case.

I can't help but think how dangerous TT would've been in some of that desperate, last ten minutes, play inside their ten.

He's small and elusive.

In the wet too.

Instead we just have a big tumbleweed

Yeah I don’t like to be pedantic (lol obvious lie) but I’d seen you spelling it that way and I took you for a guy who generally likes to get stuff like that right

Now I have to unlearn the incorrect way that I seem to have invented.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

I think we should just run with initials, makes it easier.

Then when JF does something amazing (that's King Jacko), Meth can go JF CHRIST WHAT A TRY

Res- Vaimauga, Ford, Halasima, Martin

Yeah, i like it.

Though i'm still of the opinion that if Martin isn't going to play 80, Healey should be there instead

 

[JJ]

DWZ should be dropped, and I definitely prefer Healey over TMM on bench... the real question for Webster (which I think he's already answered from his perspective) is should TMM be in 6 and CHT in 14

 

[Meth]

Yeah, i like it.

Though i'm still of the opinion that if Martin isn't going to play 80, Healey should be there instead

my main question with Healey is where does he play when Egan is still on the field.

I really like Healey, but Martin offers back cover and we have players that offer big minutes.

 

[Thatwasnthighref]

Anyone else spot Tamale giving off at the crowd after the final whistle?

Dunno if he was just returning serve after copping it all game, but he was absolutely giving it to them lol

Edit: my bad, wrong thread

 

[Meth]

CHT had a bad night but I am not as down on him as others and I guess I have seen enough to be intrigued about what Webster sees in that combination. I love his defence and I think he’s shown some good attacking kicking.

In saying that, I wouldn’t be devastated if he went to a bench role

 

[Big Marn]

How does TMMs defence stack up? We are 3rd in D and CHT is a big part of that. Would the upgrade in attack be worth it? I feel like we need someone to unlock Leka as hes pushing through the line on his own bat but with very little room. He could be lethal with the right combo, much like SJ and Nikora at the Sharks.

I don't disagree with you. But I think CHT has played a big part in building Metcalf's confidence and I think Webster may not want to change things at the moment. Being in third spot on the ladder with a rookie halves pairing is not to be sniffed at.

 

[JJ]

Yeah, Webster isn't changing anything, we lost closely to one of the form teams without our representative props... that said, I'd be spelling DWZ they were going fine without him

Webster will go with the same team but bring in JFH. He might rest Barnett or bring him in the bench

*Drop DWZ & TMM, CHT to be primed as the new utility. Boyd to form a combination in the halves and be our main goal kicker to ease the load off Metcalf, Halasima to be injected in the last 30 minutes.

I just don’t see Tanah Boyd being the answer to our problems.

 

[Meth]

Mind you, I said much the same about Erin Clark at the beginning of the year
