Thank you. Whoever played at 14 for the Force. Wingers were especially poor all round imo and I cannot pick either of Mataele or Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) given the number of tackles each missed.

1 tackle with no misses and 6 tackles with 2 misses respectively but you've gone with the guy who made three tackles in a well beaten side who did nothing in attack and you also can't remember his name. That makes sense.

I was at the game and wasn't overly impressed by Kellaway, what are people's reasons for selecting him?

Best of the Rebels backline in both attack and defence.

Not a great game by either option in the Tahs vs Force nor by Paisami.

I think Kellaway had a lucky 2021, and seems to have lost his way. I put that back onto the Rebel’s coaches and the game plan that doesn’t compliment the players in the team.

We’re in a lot of trouble if that’s our national team.

 

[TSR]

I was at the game and wasn't overly impressed by Kellaway, what are people's reasons for selecting him?

He looked pretty good from what I saw. Just had a look at his stats - made 9 runs for 61 metres and 8 tackles with no misses. I seem to remember a couple of his carries he also got some post contact metres, even if they weren’t big runs.

I don’t remember him doing anything particular spectacular, but just seemed to be pretty solid to me.

1 tackle with no misses and 6 tackles with 2 misses respectively but you've gone with the guy who made three tackles in a well beaten side who did nothing in attack and you also can't remember his name. That makes sense.

To be fair to BR - who was the Force 14? I can’t work it out.

He missed the first 4/5 games of the season, so strange comment

Ralston?
