The Vaihu push is very strange. Always felt he was a decent centre with a good step...but down the rankings at the club and a long way away from NRL. Hopefully Fa'agutu gets a decent crack in Cup as the season goes on.
I expect 2 more changes to the side. Both NRL and Cup play Sunday. One in Brisbane one in North Sydney. You would think 18th and 19th man (TDS/Lobb) both travel with NRL team for the game just in case.
I think he can be selected in NRL as a train and trialist from next week too. Apparently Aaron Payne has a high opinion of him. Wouldn't be surprised to see him take right centre with to'a out.
Beautiful no look pass to send a barnstorming Jordan Miller over for a try a couple of minutes out from half time. Other than that, has been holding his own.
Probably the best half I have seen from them all season. Up 18 to 4. Miller and Sione Fainu have been fantastic. A lot to like from them. Curtis Wilson looking good at fullback. Only real problem has been ill discipline giving plenty of opportunities to Knights (which for the most part they have...
Look like Kepaoa out means he will be somewhere in the 17 next week with potentially no Bateman and Ice. Good chance for Broederlow to show what he can do in Cup though. By all reports has been near best on ground each week in Flegg.
Would have to think any of the outside backs are a chance of...
Halves cupboard looking very bare at the moment. No creativity there.
Also assuming they are being extra cautious with Luke Laulili'i coming back from a head knock.
The linespeed and physicality was a big difference in both packs. Kepaoa and Vaihu as 2nd rowers does not help the forwards.
I too was impressed with Miller and Da Silva. Miller has done really well handling the step up to Cup. Miller and Luke Laulili'i (and Mason before his injury) have been...
I think we are likely to see more forwards potentially make it...Moors, Godinet, Taai and Fui looks good too (really missed him yesterday). The other would be Siotame Havea Jr. Need to remember he was a year young in this team. He could be an exciting prospect moving forward!
Hopefully we can...
