I,m in an agreeable mood today,,, yep, even agree with spinny :shock:
With the performances Witt's put in trial wise (sure, it don't count) I really doubted they were just going to have him hang around for nothing. While some people have suggested Ropo may still have had the first shot as a 5/8 (forgetting injury), I don't think they'd go and sign a real (yes real) 5/8 for no reasons. That would have been totally pointless.
Witt has been very good in the trials and even tho i,m a big fan of JRo, i reckon he (witt) deserves his spot on trial form alone. Course when jeromes hammy comes right it will be "witt who ?"

While I'm at it Michael Luck - dont like him that much either. acts like he a battler/soldier but never breaks a tackle.
He's better suited to the centres - he actually does alrite out there. Got some size and doesnt do anything stupid.
But why the hell does Cleary have 4 halves in 17. Hohaia , rovelli, witt and fien.
Why do we need to sign unwanted australian halves when the team should be based around hohaia at halfback.
totally agree, got nothing against luck but mannering is a center, not a forward. bluey was experimenting and it proved nothing.
skinz, seen Hayden Karena loitering around both Auckland trials, is he tied up with the Lions ?
now there is an awesome halfback/ #6
Interesting way to watch the Tri Nations, with your eyes closed. Sounds like you could be a tad racisist, bagging out all white guys.
you keep whatever it sounds like to yourself, bradly. he was critical of mannerings on field performance (and hes not alone there either), not the colour of his skin. The choice of words was unfortunate but could not be termed racist.
accusations of racism are not the go here, in fact i think yours is the first one on this forum.
giving it to aussies is totally different of course
