Welcome back Fisiiahi.. great to see him back in top grade here's hoping he comes through unscathed and we see him in space carving up.. Curious to know if Tomkins has played alongside Fisiiahi before? be interested to see how they combine..
It's all up to McFadden how he utilizes Havili.. Havili's getting slated for McFadden's stupid logic.. such a weird ass bench and McFadden's been like that for a while now.. just doesn't know what he wants.. it's as if he doesn't put much emphasis on the bench and keeps choosing players for the sake of it.. the timing of his substitutions is questionable too.
Definitely missing a trick when it comes to our bench...In today's modern era the balance and impact of the bench is as important as the starting players and I don't think McFadden's got this right all season.
Vete deserves his spot.. aggression and mongrel doesn't take a backward step to anyone
Lousi needs to stand up and do something not be a big farkin waste of space.. comes off the bench drops the ball cold and runs like a slug.. some real impact that is..
Rapira hasn't done anything in reserve grade to deserve a spot in first grade.. pretty much biding his time until he departs, no output against the chickens pretty much went through the motions and did sweet fark all.
Havili might as well play reserve grade and get decent game time instead of being everyone's scapegoat every week..
Apart from Vete the rest offer zero impact or quality what so ever.. pretty much contributing to the teams own downfall
Lisone ,
Roache and Bhana must be in consideration and would offer more then what some of the current bench players are showing..
As many have already mentioned.. how good would a big bad ass forward like Peteru be or even Matagi now??
Lousi , Havili and Rapira are experienced players but if they aren't producing anything then drop them don't keep giving them chances when they don't deserve it.. be ruthless.
