[WarriorBall]

Awesome to see CNK get his debut.

 

[Canadian_WarriorFan]

Interesting though that both him and Manu have been named though

 

[ryno]

Let's go CNK!!!!

 

[Makasene]

If Manu is fit I would like to see him come onto the bench for Sao.

 

[ryno]

Manu to replace Roach on the bench makes sense to me. Play Luke for 80, any center injuries move CNK to center and Manu to wing. If no injuries play Manu as a barn storming prop / edge forward.

 

[Tylz]

If Manu is fit I would like to see him come onto the bench for Sao.

This would be good to see.

 

[AlexM]

Will be good to see if maumalo can do anything with a center who passes to him

 

[Tedster]

Awesome to see CNK named - hope he does well and kicks on from here in first grade.

 

[ttkk19]

FINALLY!! CNK ftw!

Really hope he can keep his spot in the squad and debut this week. Can't wait to see how he goes in first grade.

Big ups to the coaching staff for picking him rather than going for a safer option. It would have been easy to go with Allwood at left center to keep familiar combinations, especially with the shorter turnaround.

I'd like to see him sniff around the ruck a little for offloads or quick ptbs... suits his style more than taking a one-out hit up.

Really pumped for the game this weekend, let's gone!

Jesus will be watching this game and taking notes.

 

[WarriorBall]

Been following the ISP closely over the last couple of seasons in the hopes of seeing a player put his hand up to play first grade and CNK has certainly been doing that on a consistent basis, he just needs to play his natural game and he'll go well.

 

[mt.wellington]

Stoked as to see CNK finally debut. If he can get a couple more under his belt Im picking he'll replace Ken Maumalo or Blake Ayshford before the seasons out...

 

[Tylz]

I would be more than happy for kata to sit out for a few weeks. He hasn't done anything of note to bring him straight back into the team if this young guy holds his own.

 

[rugged]

I have not seen a lot of CNK so will be interested to see if he is over-hyped by the forum, or has the goods. If he has a blinder it will be interesting to see how Kearney manages his wingers once Manu is fit

 

[koolkat]

Yes cnk.lets do this

 

[brightman]

We'll soon find out if he can tackle, he's marking up on Blake Ferguson..

 

[rugged]

I would be more than happy for kata to sit out for a few weeks. He hasn't done anything of note to bring him straight back into the team if this young guy holds his own.

Fusitua was pretty underwhelming at centre earlier in the season as well and you could make a case that despite his talent his t best position is still wing atm. Will be interesting to see if Foran can get some more out of him at centre

Well done to this Forum for promoting CNK so hard to be in the team. SK is listening to us
