It will be exciting to watch Wendt (E) play this week. Only making the one trial game appearance in 2024 then tearing his ACL, he was almost a lock to play 1st XV in 2024. He was brilliant in restricted minutes for the 2nd XV last week and I'm sure he will carry this form over.
Keeping it real somewhat, whilst he did have a great game, it's hard not to look outstanding when your team dominates by such a huge margin. Different discussion if he's doing this against much stronger teams week in/week out.
He was very enjoyable to watch in the 2s and a very nice meat pie in the corner too. Reminds me of Callaghan...
Watched the game on streamer - thought he was outstanding at 10. Controlled the game well and always looked dangerous.
I think the reason his team won by so much was because of him. His X-Factor with the ball, paired with his playmaking, speed and agility lead to him being a real threat and leading SJC to what was a convincing victory
I'd almost argue it is harder to stand out in a side dominating as much as they were. Definetley think the domination was off the back of him though, and if he wasn't on the field the scoreline would have no doubt been a lot closer.
I will give it a go again. Takes a lot out of me as my typing dexterity has started to desert me like a fickle Swans fan.
The number 10 and 12 changed. I beleive Keone, and Jarryd. Do you think that will change when Heamasi will come back?
Round 6 is a rough wait. Callaghan will be huge, though. What was Jai's injury?
Ankle related, not exactly sure what.
Lambert is assembling his army, thy Castle shall not witness a loss.
Hi Joker,
Is that Tom Bull’s son listed at 4?
They forgot to mention the part “Makasini will start with NC’s 2nd XV team but will back up for the 1st XV team”
