For me this is the game where we make a statement, last season no fluke
Let’s get a strong win and no injury
Pomp’s vs Gagai makes sense as Gags been solid so far
Let’s roll them up the guts and pressure them until they tap out
Agree, Nuikore is the missing element here. For me when Nuikore is fit AFB and Barnett start, as mentioned Barnett energy on defence is huge and so valuable.
AFB for Ale and Barnett for Nuikore rotation doesn’t lose too much (taking into account AFB status) and Ale is on the improve for me...
Sorry Fam I’m bit slow on the down low here
I’m an ongoing contributor and appreciate all the work to keep this humming
Am I meant to be doing something to confirm I’m still a contributor?
I notice my badge missing and I haven’t checked my account re monthly payments
Apologies Fam
Hopefully Egan returns although I respect Freddy’s engine
AFB off should be Ale on in my opinion until Nuikore gets back
Tuaupiki is serviceable and safe under a high ball but link play to the outside breaks down pretty quickly, also his stutter step to make space is so far unsuccessful
With...
Metcalf finding his feet and like that he gets involved with attacking kicks
Genuine question tho
Is Lukey getting that love from the boys on the ground, or is a bit of a Lone Ranger
I notice when he passed late to Montoya with no space and he got monstered, lukey was already returning back...
Get the win
Make raiders play our style
Play like a top 4 team
Play to the conditions
Use that bench
No injuries
16 -6 Half Time
28 - 14 Full Time
SHAZAM
Needs improvement in service, thought I read he was super fit which shows dedication.
Plus he’s happy to stay NZ and knows the boys and the systems. Assume he’s cheap, so sounds like smart business.
Think webby was saying Egan week by week depending on the range of elbow movement
Then not sure if it was Nuikore or CNK but thought he said another 2-3 weeks
