Maybe not the most gifted ball player in our squad lol. Andrew Johns has said a couple times before that he really likes Taka. I do agree his defensive game will improve being at 5-eight. However, Brooks is deceptively very fast, but judging by his form he shouldnt be much of a threat.

BA has obviously seen some issues in Field's game where he thinks Taka can plug. This will be a trial for the finals, otherwise Taka would be just on the bench. RCG looked a little cooked last week and would be fresher for the rest. This is not BA playing games, it's what he needs to do.
Totally understand resting RCG. Why would we take the early guilty plea of paulo? Should of fort it. If we lost, Paulo gets a rest as well. Our props need to be fresh for the finals
Field is dropped he's done ok defense has been surprisingly good but as a half he hasn't locked down the spot he has no kicking game and I think we play to flat for his type of running game. Field may come back in but it's worth seeing if takka can open up the left edge.
RCG has played a lot of minutes this year and fourtunatly Alvaro has had some good footy recently
"Why are you being sensible though when you can ragebait EA?
I agree btw. This is alright and good for all parties. We have heaps of interesting backs coming through (Davis, Bamblett, Seuseu, Bloomfield, Martin) that can all play fullback. Pretty…"
"What can I say but good luck to the kid. I loved his 20 minute cameo in a game that it was raining fire and brimstone.
I think he could have done a job for us on the wing or centre since Rusty is leaving."
"Well how do we know MON was the main reason for him going? If Ryles really wanted to keep Twidle he would have said to MON to keep him. Therefore a proper deal could have been done earlier.
You said MON should go, what if Ryles was the one who…"
"I trust your judgement EA.
I just meant that body maturity of Joash is from 2 to 3 solid years of Cup fixtures getting belted around where Apa lacks that amount of exposure thus far."

Yep, my thoughts too

Possibly a bit late to try but would love to see haze dunster get a chance in first grade. Any of our outside backs need a rest
stop whinging. We'll beat the Tigers like we always do. Then ........ who knows
with Will Smith on the bench I would expect he will get some at 5/8 as well. Can't see Taka lasting 80 minutes.
Cant see him lasting 10 mins.
FFS watch his involvement. For a man his size.
Very pleased with this. Field is getting smothered and Alvaro is playing well. Like it.
