Lots to work on...
Really liked what Samuela displayed also.

A LOT to work on though.
Not impressed with the backline, besides Bula.
Like to see him  more involved though.

Agree with above.
Pole changed the dynamics for us.
Galvin tried his guts out and have zero help.
Sammy was good I thought also.
Bula I thought was more involved with attack but looked a step off the pace at times.

Who would you bring into the prop rotation to replace him?

Start Pole and Stefano.

BUla - just doesn't look like linking with anybody.
Staines - Get him outta here
Toa - get on the Staines Train Toa wherever he's sent!
Faataaapee - He went OK given the lack of possession we had.
Toupo - Tired hard & didn't make any mistakes
Galvin - He'll be better for the run, pretty promising for a debut
Sullivan - They call him spud cos he fat and slow. Bench next week - then god knows
Seyfarth - Not a starter
Bateman - I love his passion - Bula and Galvin need to follow him or set him up
Ice - Some nice moves but he needs to be used as a weapon.
Klemmer - He tries to offload but cos he doesn't actually do it, he has no support players.
Stefano - Saw a glimpse of good things when he came on in the 2nd half and that high shot incident really showed the ref's bias. Rapana stayed down for every mozzie bite.
Api - We are lucky to have him.

Sezar - should have been on earlier or at worse start 2nd half.
Twal - Solid as usual
Pole - Really top effort
Sam F - I thought he was very good and has a good motor. Will get better.

Sione looked great in the trials, not sure of he is available next week. If not just put AJ on the bench. He is brain-dead but will rip in and bring athleticism to the middle.

Start Pole and Stefano.

I think snidest was saying Pole should be playing lock and a starter so what I was wondering was who is on the bench with Twal in the prop rotation. I agree Seyfarth can’t stay there so curious on peoples thoughts on the replacement

If Sione Fainu isn't injured, I'd like to see him make the bench.

Maybe even all 3 Fainu bros on the bench once all fit.

14 Latu
15 Sione
16 Samuela
17 Twal / Klemmer/ Sukkar

Fainu was good off the bench. Bula had some good moments as well. Need to get him involved more. Some better defensive centres will help. If you get beaten by 20 points the loss can't be blamed on the referee but the officiating didn't impress me.

I didn't actually see the whole game.

Your thoughts?

They were my top 3.
Our 3 bench forwards were decent as was Stef particularly in his second stint.

He played at 13 with Seyfarth off!!

Seyfarth to the bench -w/ Twal and Fainu.

Matamua is an unfit myth!

Tupou literally made 4 errors - stopped reading after that as new you didn't watch the game

The Api love is over the top!!

He gave the shit pass to Sullivan on the 5th in our first set!

12 minutes later we had barely touched the ball & were down 14-0

And his "leadership" during the penalty goal was sadly lacking.

Needs to shave his blonde locks and be a better captain!

I really liked what he and Samuela displayed today.

They're looking our best.
Both gutsy players.

It's crazy too because they're both so young.

Samuela has to be a starter.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

I knew you always

Samuela has to be a starter.

Yes. Thats the big guy right??

 

[Todd Packer]

Yes

For me samual was great he hit the line hard and was aggressive in defence
Can’t give points to many more
Bula done a few good things but he needs to get involved by about 80% more
Galvin was solid for a kid but our players didn’t give him a chance to really shine, they are lazy in defence and worse in attack
Pole, papa and Bateman and api just seem to be going through the motions
So let’s face it the coaching is as bad as last year if not worse
So how can u give a 3,2,1
