It wasn't his first game at halfback. We started with him at 7 in our opening round and he got demoted in place of Sezer. Now that Sezer is suspended, it's his chance to get back his starting spot. Hope he grabs it with both hands.
To be fair, it's not like Bateman has done any better. Not defending Naden, but when Best is on, he's on, and I can't see many who can defend against that....including Starford. Not to mention you're partnering Staines who was at fault as well.
I know Naden didn't have his best game, but at...
True....but for some reason, I can't really blame him given that he's been moved left, right, and then back to left to cover injuries and reshuffle.
I actually don't mind him trying, at least he really tries and does have the flare to create as we can see from his previous games. But yes, he...
I blame him for destroying the Naden and Staines combo. That side was stable in both defence and attack. Now, both sides has gone to shit. Should have put Starford on the other wing, he prob wouldn't have done his hammy and we don't have to watch the Bateman shitshow.
Shame Latu is out. I would have put Gavin at 7 since Sullivan has done jack all in that position. Gavin is not afraid and is one of the few in our team that actually reads the game well.
I would not touch that side now that Naden has developed a good combo with Staines. If Starford is available, I would put him on the other wing with Olam to boost our attack futher.
