John Fonua and Ethan Parry gone?

Anyone know why these two are not listed in CC?

Both should be and Ethan Parry is not injured and has reportedly been looking elsewhere, which is reasonable considering he is now no longer next in line for wing or centre.

Don’t let the dogs out

Dogs suprised us last two games we played. Lots of chatter about our prospects for the season and we are expected to win this. If we are looking ahead and taking this game forgranted any way we will get ambushed.
