You would have to feel for other NSW cup players who are putting in 100% and are rearing for a NRL appearance and then see Kosi get selected. He has done absolutely nothing in cup to deserve this spot other than continue to make errors. I don't get what Webster sees in him but I guess its the same thing he sees in CNK as fullback, Capewell as an 80 minute 2nd rower, a concussed prone hooker playing a full game and a need to only want to recruit Australians/Englishman who lets face it will ask for a compassionate release in years to come.

As a fan, I want this team to win but we got to put ourselves in positions to win not to set us up for losses. Here's hoping game day changes are made with two good 18th/19th men.

To be fair to Kosi and Webster, having a look i think its just him an morgan harper in our top 30 that can play wing, we could chuck a second rower in there but I think that would go as badly with pompey on the wing. Its just a tough go Rocco got re injured.

All in all if its anyones fault I would go recruitment, should have seen that we need another solid winger/ centre and recruited earlier then when DWZ was injured.

If we wanted to play a stronger side, Webster would shift CNK to centre push Pompey to wing and bring in TMM to cover FB. He has his favourites which sucks. I'm hoping Kosi goes out and plays hard and proves why he deserves that spot.
