Will be interesting to see how they shuffle the deck. Walker I guess allows Tofu to move prop, Barnett to move edge, Laban to bench for a break and possibly back on late depending on the balance of game. Something of that description, as nothing else really lines up.

Didn't we piss the bed against Brisbane last year in Napier after that pre-game ceremony?

Agreed, we'll leave it at that.

Yea sorry should have noted I meant in an ideal world. I don't feel after the year off he is probably ready to play week in week out at half for the whole season. I think I mentioned it previously, but I would be more than happy injuries aside to have a combo of Metcalf and CHT post SJ. A lot...

I feel CHT is the most rounded left edge player out of the three. He unfortunately is too much of a Swiss army knife, so TMM is favoured so they can fit the best 17 on the field. Even though I feel CHT has the better left foot kick and right to left pass.

SJ has the Titans hoodoo more than anything. It has been a bit back and forth since he went to Cronulla.

People that are throwing daggers at Roger aren't understanding that our sets are crafted to areas on the field for right edge plays. The only play we really see is SJ jumping across for a line ball to Ford. We simply don't shape sets to get to areas where the left edge can be given any nice...

Imagine how silly we'll look if the rudderless Tohs go there and win after us getting flogged in that fixture for a millennia 😂

Fogs out for pretty much whole season, can't see the Raiders achieving much given the available halves stocks they have.

Thank baby Jesus, it looks like we'll get a Pongdongless Knights the following week.

Wouldn't mind seeing a CHT and TMM pairing. TMM likely moving to the right and CHT on the left. Might see the attack spread a bit more evenly.

Agreed, we already have senior players with bulk errors and penalties currently. Anything other than go out there and be tidy to our juniors would be criminal coaching. Would be nice to have atleast one of Jake, Bunty, or even Jazz available but not to be at present.

I noted it post game last week, we play a style that relies on the other team dropping their bundle. But doing it with a visibly busted up aging squad, that is being frontloaded with big minutes due to no bench so early in the season is a big worry for later down the track. Granted we have no...

Seems like a reasonable day for a day off 😅

Just had a look and saw we play on Thursday, is it a public holiday in NZ or something? Good to know we don't have to wait too long to know if we are still kaka or not.

Just super flat off the back of last week I feel. I'll hold back throwing any shade till after the Titans game, as that will be the barometer.

It's completely forced due to injuries, but with an older squad all this front loading on our starting forwards until about mid season may become an issue later in the season. Three middles going down so early really hurts.

Not too sure about the breeze, but believe we are running down hill in the first half which should help.

I think Capewah or Ford will play some time at lock, most likely Capewah. Laban will play edge for that period. Maybe Roache gets a run, be very surprised if Pompey gets on unless there is an HIA/injury reshuffle. Wouldn't be surprised to ser us play with only 15 players unless it's a blow...
