Don’t worry mate I’ll do the right thing and walk straight through our fantastic grandstand.
Is the bar open on training days you know it’s not easy sitting there in that heat.
Haha imagine the bar was open on training nights that would be a disaster

Atta boy - that’s why they pay you the big bucks.

Probably don't want to overindulge though - the grandstand loos smell like the 1988 Premiership team deposits left there after Mad Monday :-).

According to? You?
9's is a nothing competition. Sutton looked like he could do a job for us when he was at Raider (also surrounded by Tapine, Horse and Papalii) but even then he was signed on too much money (reportedly) and he hasn't even been able to do a job (average middle level) for us. It's been a Napa level signing so far for us.

I was told Sutton has a long term injury, ditto Patolo

We are so undermanned in the middle that guys like RFM and Kitoni (dude we got from the Tigers) and Faamusili might have to do a stint there especially if injuries hit

Gus has been scouring the market but the reality is there’s no one there hence we playing small ball

I just don’t know how we can sustain the season with what we got upfront tbh.

Also, don’t write Critta off completely playing fullback he’s going to get time there at the trials



As it stands our genuine middles in FG are Knight, King and Hughes.

This was always the risk, not only a lack of quality but a lack of depth in the middle. I’m still baffled why Gus wasn’t more aggressive earlier in the off season when there were actual middles available. It’s a massive worry.

Patolo has had a horror run of injuries, he just doesn’t seem to get on the field, Sutton not far behind him… Knight, King and Hughes will be doing some big minutes… we may need to even consider RFM if we’re desperate enough… Morrin and Poasa will also get opportunities

We could have got Kepie at least although he was on a long term deal on overs so I can see why that wasn’t so attractive at the time. In hindsight we still should have probs done it.

What possible injuries could they have that have kept them out of commission for potentially 6 months?
Deadset outrageous if they aren't available round 1?
