Did anyone see the Manly trail. Did Api get the bulk of the minutes at hooker?

Easy-E was fine but I wouldn't be buying tickets to the Ofa show.

I thought it was the other way round, Ofa had a couple of off loads for 2nd phase and 1 error near the end that everyone seems to remember

All the talk of bunty afoa, yep he was heavily involved, but the guy in head gear playing left side second row # 21. Played most of the game, hits hard in defence always took a hit up in the tough sets and compared to gubb who was getting stopped easy he made metres after impact.
I was impressed I think his name was impali or something, if he gets named on bench I am all over him.

Was worried about that because there's no one around his price that I want to change him to and I thought I Had my team pretty set (haha what a comedian, right? )

Would have to change Peats and another to replace him with Luke/McInnes.

He's been talked up for a while. Don't think we'll see him this year unless there are injuries but next year could be a break-out year for him.
Has a Rugby Union background and has a pretty wide-ranging skillset as well as getting all the minor details dead right (tackling technique, lines to run, ball-carrying) and has had wraps on him for the last year or two in both codes but seems to be loving his league and entrenched in the Warriors system now.

If I thought he'd have a chance of playing any games this season, I'd start with him but I just don't see it.

He's still 18 or 19 too so no hurry to get him into the top team. Expect to see him in NSW cup this year though, I reckon. Start playing big minutes with the big boys.

Huge wraps on him. Supposed to be the next big thing. Won't get a game therefore and become a superstar at another club

If i was the warriors coach id play Luke for 80 (luke said he "wants" to the other day) and four forwards on the bench so i can rotate them often and in theory pummel the oppostion up the middle

McInnes with no back up hooker on the bench

Tasty.

In saying that, there's nothing stopping someone going into the halves so that McCrone can go to hooker to give C-Mac a spell.

EDIT: with that extended bench there is no chance McInnes plays 80.

Said to GF "big george is back, hes supposedly over his injuries". GF says "what, his hands?". Then big george drops it on his first carry hahah

Talakai goin the solomone kata impersonation. Thats enough for me to get him in

Georgie in everything

any streams out there?
