I guess that means there is damage, and we will need time out.
Could we run Niko at DH for 2-3 games?
Or do we want worse service better D from Jazz or Sironen?
What blunts the attack more bad hookers or inexperienced halves?
I'd like to play Niko at 9 and spell him with Sironen or Jazz.
Chanel Harris-Tavita and Sean O'Sullivan in the halves for the first few rounds i guess.
Will be a hard start to the year with combos etc.
Lucky we have a pack.

Expecting something like this, Brown probably showed his hand against the Tits when any number of players could have had time at Hooker but it was really down to Jazz/Sirro
If Niko played Hooker I expect Turner would play five-eight, Sean O'Sullivan is like for like with Chanel Harris-Tavita so don't see them together in the halves.
Not sure what the positive is to take from a potential bicep injury, notoriously slow to heal, think months not weeks.

I think Leuluai is being groomed for a role on the Wigan coaching staff, but might play a final season for them and Isaac Luke is on a train and trial with the Broncos.

What i like about Sean O'Sullivan is his boot.
Guy seems to kick well and turners game is more of a running game which I don't know if we need. We need more distributing to the edges and middles.
Sean O'Sullivan did take a few runs though , does test the line.

Only potential at this stage, you have to admit it is looking better than a couple of days ago.

Honestly, I'd prefer the elbow hyperextension to the bicep issue which is more the problem according to Gus's tweet.
All will be revealed soon and hopefully good news.
Pretty much describes why I'm not keen on moving Nikorima though I could see it happening. Does everything you describe for the price of one.
One of the top five-eights in the comp last season.. just saying.

He’s got a chip on his bone and a torn ligament little chance for rd 1 but should be ready for rd 2

Where'd you hear that NZWFF? Wouldve thought a torn ligament would be worse than that...

Great news, best result possible given how bad it looked I think.
1.Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 2. Hiku 3. Fusi if fit Pompey if not 4. Aitkin (Stoked we have him) 5. Ken 6. Kodi 7. Chanel Harris-Tavita (Sean O'Sullivan if Chanel Harris-Tavita not fit / Turner didn't show enough but I like him more) 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Sironen 10. LAM 11. Murchie (Curran if Murchie fails HIA) 12. Katoa 13. Harris 14. Tevanga 15. Jamayne Tounua-Brown 16. Evans 17. Curran / Turner/ Perham
Really need another real hooker / full-time. Luke if he doesn't get picked up permanently by the BRONCOS (looked good n the Maori game), Levi....Cam Smith would do. Or give Melbourne a big winger of ours and try to get Brandon Smith NOW!!!!
IF we don't buy a new hooker then I would like to see Turner / Perham get some practice time as an impact hooker or double hooker system late in halves to exploit late offloads by our big men in the middle...more zip.
