I don’t deny Naden had a shocker, but I couldn’t trust Faataape to come in and do a better job in his place. The only person unless you’re willing to count Bateman in this case that could’ve pushed him aside are both out injured which ended up saving him.
Well you know my opinion and couple of others already have basically said the same thing. If he was playing better I’m sure Faataape would’ve been named this week.
Like I said no one better to replace him with. The one person maybe two if you’re willing to count Bateman who could’ve taken his spot are both out injured.
To be fair we lifted because of what happened the last time we played the Cowboys before that night, but everyone played brilliant that night. Even Brooks.
Well when he’s not playing better he ain’t gonna get called up. An ok performance doesn’t warrant a first grade call up. Especially against a backline that the Dolphins have named this week. Naden had a shocker but Faataape currently ain’t playing better than him either.
No it isn’t. If To’a didn’t get injured there’s a very strong possibility he and Olam would have been the Centres this week, but him getting injured threw that out the window.
If a player does get dropped you have to be sure the one to take that spot will step up. It’s clear Benji didn’t think Faatappe was capable of being better and I understand where he’s coming from.
