It is every where on Jett
I still don’t see it happening (couch coach here lol). Maybe they left jet in that position knowing that Tanah may be called up again so it is cups best interest to leave him in his position

That's such a media beat up in that article saying Cleary shunted Boyd out of the Halfback position in the Cup side. Leiataua apparently played Fullback according to the team list the other week but we all know that wasn't the case. Journalism has gone to the dogs

Yeah its a stupid article. It was Boyd playing halfback and controlling the team yday. Jett was a lil quiet but taking cues off Tanah. Cleary is still a fair while away from first grade. If his last name was not Cleary,he wouldnt even be mentioned in any articles.

Yeah, if Cleary gets picked, off of a game where he kicked the ball once, it'd be even more out the gate than Stacey starting Egan at #6
 
LU forum reckons Capewell and Halasima out this weekend
Any statements on the injury on either of them? Both went off for an HIA on the weekend.

Laban is already out what edge back rowers would that leave us with? Niukore and maybe Ieremia-Toeava?
Ford is needed to cover the middle unless someone else gets brought in to cover there.

TMM is already out due to the catergory 1 HIA. We could have quite a different looking side this weekend.

After the Boyd speculation last week. Also, Vaimauga was removed due to injury late a few weeks ago. Even if guys are named, I'll hold off dismissing any speculation until the side is named and an hour before kick-off.

Wondering about the process for exemption from the 11 day stand down? It's probably not arguable cos you have Boyd there in the position TMM would be most recognised in - however if you're running that low all around the park...?
 
One thing I'd like to see when Healy is in the side. Have him on at the same time as Clark.

If he comes off the bench, time it with Clark's second stint. Or if he starts and comes back to close out the game, have him come on when Clark is on.

Even late in the game when our go-forward is struggling, it is noticeable when Clark is back on. Direct hard running.

I've always been keen if you have a dummy half option that is a running threat. Going direct late in the game and trying to speed things up. If you have a forward who provides the hard runs for the dummy half. Time If possible time the interchanges to match

He was back on the bench pretty quickly. But I can't see TMM being named this week due to the protocols. If we played on Friday and the next game was a Sunday, then they may have pushed for an exemption.

I'd suggest this is why the speculation for Cleary being named.

Boyd and CHT will be named, but it is natural to cover all options in the wider squad before they get removed during the week. So, we may see Cleary listed in the wider squad similar to Tafua a few weeks ago.
