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
"Kautoga showed so much promise and improvement towards the end of the year. He runs a good line, is good in defence, gets through work and posesses an offloard. I just think it is promise from him, plus Ryles seems to be a big fan. But if Tuilagi…"
"It amazes me that there are battlers out there who still purchase this trash. I wonder what percentage of those readers that are left, (not many) fall for the BS contained within, (particularly in the political pages)?"
"Bailey was training with the reserves in a opposed session he is coming back from injury so maybe Samrani is filling in but I thought it was interesting im not opposed to it he would do the grunt work from our end"
"I don't get the obsession over Kitione Kautoga? Nothing special with much errors in his game, I have Williams & Tuilagi infront for both back row positions."

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.
