SK is continuing with the Solomona Kata charitable outreach program for another game it would seem.

Does it count if he "works" on passing to his winger?Kata is on a working Visa if he dosen't play he gets deported.
Their forwards are big, but our forwards are quick.No complaints, i guess Satae is being kept to match the size of their forwards.
Which means if our forwards don't show up to the party, then we will lose by plenty. bunnies will also be looking for revenge from round one! a bit like the Roosters.
Geez Chris Satae getting some love after one carry last week lol.
Defence was pretty sound though...
yep i just read that he had a leg injui see johnston is out and Inglis to full back - could be a tough nite for our forwards - i think souths have a really good pack at the moment and Damian Cook is in good form, hope we front up against those big burgess boys and crichton. Looking forward to it - would like to see Beale come into the mix and Lawton. Whats actually up with Lisone - he playing ISP or what?
it wouldnt suprise me if sk swaps tevaga & satae for lawton & beale and maybe use maumalo up front which is basically what hes doing now..and damn well i might addI don't agree with every selection, but SK has kept us on 3rd on the table with his process, so I'm going to trust his judgement.
There's bound to be loads of factors going on behind the scenes, that we're not allowed to know about (which is great because we don't want the Rabbitos knowing any of that shit either), so I'm going to assume that this is the best possible team.
This is a bit harsh but I think Crichton is a fucking wanker. Or maybe I just don't like him.
Do you reckon he'll notice that anythings changed?Lisone is on the bench for the B team.
From what I have heard/read, he is a good dude.
Hope he stays quiet on Saturday.

Agree, he was best forward on the park last week.Thought Sao went pretty well at the weekend.
I'm a big fan of his, we defended the whole time he was on. He made 24 tackles in 15 minutes, which is about what the average starting prop makes per game for 50 minutes. There was a period of consecutive sets where he made or was involved in 9 out of the 10 tackles. It is unfortunate because that is not his strength, however the fact he backed up the next day for the ISP team and ran for 160m and made 25 tackles is a testament to his fitness.Geez Chris Satae getting some love after one carry last week lol.

Corvs has ensured it's all lean muscle mass too, he could be our mythical monster prop in a year or two.6ft3 plus and playing weight as over 115kgs I'm told
A couple of those tackles were potential try savers as well.I'm a big fan of his, we defended the whole time he was on.

Hopefully we get out share of the ball and he can show his ability. One thing I really like about him is that he times his run very well and can isolate the A pillar on defence in behind the ruck, something Warriors have struggled at since Sam Rapira left. Also, he fits the bill of a big guy which people around here have been begging for 6ft3 plus and playing weight as over 115kgs I'm told.
