Especially the spine - and they all looked strong too. Hansen and Laiman were very composed for young halves, and I was wondering how Pasikala would go at this level, since he relies on his strength in the tackle so much - but he’s pulling it off against men too. Both hookers going very well.

Tafua has an amazing ability to score out of dummy half for a smaller guy, knows when the moment is right.
For those not watching, we’re up 6-0 against a Panthers team with a person in the bin.
The team has been updated today and he’s still there, so looks good.
Speaking of which, we’ve got Caleb Laiman from the JF team coming in at halfback - anyone know much about him?
Roache and Doyle are both out, and Pasikala is played fullback - excited to see him get a run there.
My best guess is Round 20 2021 - we beat the tigers 18-16 with the following players out (listed in a pseudo team):
1. RTS
2. Fus
3. Berry
4. Murchie
5. Xxx
6. CHT
7. Townsend
8. Lodge
9. Egan
10. AFB
11. Frei
12. Ah Mau
13. Tohu
Mmm no I don’t think so. His kicking was passable, but I don’t think worth picking him on his kicking. I’d sooner play Roache at 9 and Egan at 7. If we were going to go with something out of the box id bring in Tuaupiki into the halves for the kicking game - or, and this isn’t really a serious...
