You want flano to come out in public and say that Loko was given targets with respect to fitness/attitude/effort/commitment and fell short of these targets so we didnt take him? Sure he came back fit for the run up the hill and was given an extra week off - tick on fitness at that point, but...

we shake you because you have obviously fallen asleep and started to dream

anyway - the backs vs the dogs were pretty under-utilised ... may have been contributed to by the narrower field or a game plan that was all around "long season get the defence right" We will need to score more than 2 tries against the storm to get within a point of them.

I think Lomax as a 6 would run more than twice for 17 metres.

Hookers not named in either grade ... Are Finau/Fagalilo still struggling with head knocks? Is Liddle a chance of returning and having a run in cup before round 2?

coming back from a footy injury was the excuse .. Their 3/4 line in reserves has Sione Finau, Timoko and Chevy ... outside that the 3/4s across reserves dont appear to have that 1st grade ready and not picked player.

So we might actually get a penalty or six again .. good news

Team announced ... A few names to add in still ...Looks like they are playing old rules not new with the bench.

Question was more around travel/jet lag blah blah ... thanks for the answers :-)

Are Cake/Sloan/Jake etc available this weekend?

To highlight how hard that game was for us to win ... One yardage penalty (the Crichton high shot) which was so deep in a corner we grabbed maybe 8m max from it. Three set restarts all in the first 15 minutes of the game. One penalty and no restarts for the entire second half (the penalty for...

Hornby was moved to half well before Bennett got here. Was always floating between 1/6/7 at the selection table ... Just depended on who else was in the team really.

That is why i like Savala ... would come in, do a job (better than Kyle) and is not going to block Reed when he is ready. I disagree, i think he does "move the needle" not by a lot granted .. but when you lose by a point it doesnt have to move far at all. Even a loan deal for the season or two...

I dont care about creating for himself (though he did do that in the trials) He is better at getting the ball to the right areas on the field ... passes/runs/kicks better than Flano and defends as well as him too ... Kyle cannot create for either himself or others.

Apparantly Atkinson was there to concentrate on last play kicking and Kyle was going to organise things ... that is why we looked shit until the last play kick.
