Couldn’t agree more Re: API and getting him a spell during the game. We want him fresh at that 60m mark where we have been in games last few weeks and fatigue starts to factor in the middle. Simpkin is solid enough for a 10 - 15 minute stint there somewhere
Communication must have been missing last night too. First half we went to Klem on play 5 and second half Seyfarth. That’s on the halves. API should be in no doubt were the ball needs to be going.
A few positives for us. 1 Alamolo showed he should be our winger for rest of year.
2 - Sam Fainu has locked up an edge spot - we need to attack more down that side. This means Papali can play lock when he returns which he showed great signs against Knights.
3 - Sione Fainu showed promise. He...
The gap between his best and his worst is way too big. His games aren’t bad, just quiet. You look at a bloke like Gutho who is just 100% effort on every second of the game. That’s what he needs to move to elite
Benji should have his first real unload tonight. Yes we have a few out but we have been close enough if good enough the last month. Too many players not putting in full effort and some just dumb stuff. God we need Turuva and another outside back
All he had to do was put a hand on him and we get a set of six at them in great field position to end the half. He just needs to go. I’d rather persist with Faatape and watch him develop
I really hope he gets back playing solid footy. Potentially a good role for him is 14 were he can cover FB, Centre, Halves and back row? I’m not sure that’s what we need though. We need a utility that can play 9 and give api 10-15 off a game. Great effort by AD though if he gets back, great...
