People forget that with backups, the player concerned doesn't want to be a back up.

Ive been reminded of Katoa. Man I thought he was going to be the next big thing. Couldn't believe we had developed this huge running back rower. He had a really good game early in his career and I tagged him on a story on IG saying how I Thought he was the next big thing, he msg'd me and said...

Did anyone hear the post gave interview, he said he was about to give the game up end of '22. Hope he gets another opportunity at some point. Mind I was pretty hyped on Patrick Herbert at one point (who MGT reminds me of) and he unfortunately hasn't progressed.

Shaun in 2023 for sure. I thought he was so washed when he was coming back to the club.

Honestly I think the best thing to do is to go Shaun 7, TMM 6 and see if TMM can now step it up in the 6 jersey after gaining/regaining his mojo. Maybe that's all he needed.

The biggest thing for me was how good MANY of the guys played. Barnett, DWZ, Afoa, Ale, Montoya, Pompey, TMM, CHT, Ford all played exceptional. Everyone else not mentioned were solid at WORST. Ford has not had any wraps the last few weeks but I think he has been exceptional. Probably has the...

If he's a usual culprit for that kind of stuff then I wouldn't want him in first grade much to be honest. Don't want to be leaking soft tries on the right like we do on the left. As boring as they are, i've always valued centers who know how to tackle and pass, even if they're a bit flat on attack.

Lol. It was a terrible stroke of bad luck. The offload came quite late and nothing Walker or Roache could do, just completely caught out. If Walker even tries to score from there it'll get called back from the bunker.

Also need to shoutout Paul Roache and his bullet passes, and Dylan Walker has been so bloody good.

Well that game just caused some serious selection issues when the big names start coming back. Prior to the game I said if CNK does well at 6 then i'd be keen for a CNK 6/Johnson 7 combo allowing RTS to go to fullback. Wasn't expecting TMM to have our best halves performance of the season, and...

The bench guys were the most hungriest today. Walker, Ale and Jazz all played with heart and probably the reason why we had a turn around in the 2nd half. We look so much better on attack with Walker on the pitch. He's creating some opportunities and has been less predictable than Shaun. The...

Who here remembers the old Dominque Peyroux on the bench, bring him on 68th minute stints lol.

Sounds like his development really got stunted during that COVID period, as likely those couple of years would have been ideal for him to develop and get used to the game. Instead its been trial by fire and he's found some success. It's likely he's only just starting to feel at game speed now...

Swap CNK for RTS Swap Montoya for Pompey

I love the design on its own, but its too much for a Jersey.

I like the chances of re-signing Egan. He'll be 28 next year and in the form of his life, this will probably be his final chance at his biggest career payday @ multiple years, so i'd say money is going to be his biggest motivation. Assuming there's room in the cap (I dont know if there is, or...

My dream signing from when AFB annouced he was going. Didn't think it would be possible. and for 4 years is awesome. Timing couldn't be any better, after that win last year as captain, winning golden boot and cementing himself as a Kiwis legend, to come home to the Wahs is so good.

Yeah that sequence looked like two guys both doing the wrong thing. The body language on both after it showed they knew that could have come out better. Ultimately Metcalf should have held it but it also felt like he was expecting Montoya to play off him better.

Felt like we struggled to score when it was wet. Harder to link those epic backline moves for DWZ in the corner

Sam Tomkins was much better than what the fans him give (mis)credit for, and he would have made a great #6 at the time, is a hill i'll always die on. I remember looking at the stats at the time and he was up there with the top 5 fullbacks (a time when you had Inglis, Slater, Hayne etc) in all...
