    Im gonna back Reece at FB short term, i think he can make a go of it.

    If Semi is a late inclusion (which I doubt based on BA's comments on Sunday) I hope he replaces Folau not Faraimo. Faraimo has been great. If Folau hadn't scored those tries people wouldn't be rating him as highly. Semi would score most of those tries anyway. Folau is poorly positioned on kicks and lacks in defence. Wing isn't his position so that's to be expected.

      Its tough between those two, but its good to have such a problem

      I agree king

      If Falou does not assist with those tries, regardless of his shortcomings, we lose.
      He has not even played 5 games yet. Hard to impress.

      Faraimo would not have scored those try's.

      I completely agree. Been way more impressed with Bureta than Folau, he has been great under high ball and makes competent reads in defence. Folau only looks comfortable close to the line with ball in hand, otherwise, he looks off the pace. Semi will score so we don't need to worry about missing out on tries.

    Hope Semi makes a return....as long as he's fit and ready

    Again, we have better forwards than Joe Paulo #wow
