My son just showed me a photo of the numbers from last week. Clearly the RA work experience kid that was tasked with sending the numbers off to the printer got it the wrong way around.

I like the sentiment of the First Nations numbers but you can’t fkn see them. Reverse for next time

No because the loig is on at 7.50pm. Pretty sure it will be on Gem.

He has played a bit of fullback too

I won’t be surprised if he is earmarked for the role, but like Petaia, we need Thorn to play him there first.

Hooper doesn’t do resting.

I’ve actually been getting a bit more bullish on this game as the week went on. We knew what the Boks were going to bring but I don’t think we were 100% ready for it, especially the maul droll. They will be better this week but I think we will counter better. Good guys by 6

I’m pretty sure we will see an experimental side rolled out against Argentina for one of the games - by experimental I don’t mean stacked full of fringe players, I mean one to test if it works better than the incumbents. A 2023 trial if you like. Something like this: 1. Bell 2. Kaituu 3...

You’re right, there are a few players with potential but haven’t been playing there much e.g Petaia, Kellaway and others coming through the system e.g. Harrison/Donaldson, Vunivalu. Hodge played there a bit this year but even so is probably more valuable as a utility from the bench. Given the...

It would appear not, although his wiki bio is pretty thin. He probably isn’t costing much, I don’t think its an exciting signing, but outside back would be the most synergistic with loig so not really fussed either way. Probably worth keeping an eye on him without expecting him to be penned...

Quite possibly, hence why we've all been scrambling for another alternatives during the week. Anyway, he's there again this week, bring it on.

He was kind of cornered into it, he was directly asked about his position in the team and basically said what you said i.e. that he must see something that we don't. He's hardly going to say something like 'yeah that's an area we're trying to find a solution for', so had to answer...

saw that on the news last night, the long shot with the reporter was crazy, the bloke is ginormous.

Derpus nailed it, it’s not a love affair, it’s because of the incumbent.

Bench this week then 2 games v the Argies, it’s not impossible. Personally I prefer him in closer but it’s a problem that needs fixing and if QC (Quade Cooper) hangs around where else does he slot in? 13 maybe, neither Ikitau or PaisamI have locked that down yet.

He is, but he has the makings of a quality fullback too. The problem is the bloke up the back isn’t going so well.

We likely only have to get through this game and then the 2 against the Argies before Beale gets the call up for the EOYT. Or JOC (James O'Connor) my assert himself by then. EDIT: might be a game v Japan in between.
