Have to feel for the kid all set for his debut but Api got the HIA for staying down (trying to milk)
I looked over to the bench you could see he was gutted.
I noticed Luca go and and give him a hug I'm sure other players got around him his chance will come next week probably but it would be a tough pill to swallow

Positive is there is next week. Nobody else is coming back from injury to take his spot. So he more likely debuts next week.
It is just a casualty of the 6 man bench. But put it this way. Had Twidle been Cat 1 and out for the game, get Funa out there and he's playing Centre, does that cost us in the end?
100 I'm not a fan of the 6 man bench but with out rusty coming on i don't thnk samrani scores his try.
Hopefully the kid gets a go next week
Poor guy had his family and friends there, waiting for his debut
But at the same time we need to win.
Well he's learnt his first lesson in being an NRL player, and that it is the team always comes first. I have no doubt he will get on the park over the next couple of weeks.
I couldn't see him at the end of the game must have gone into the sheds for a bit before coming bavk out poor bugger.. The week must have been so emotional.
He would have been told he woupd make his debut pending there's no injuries to outside backs. He would have known before the match. Russell came on for Twidle there was no other option. Just unlucky.
Next week he will debut.
I wonder what happens next week, is there a New Jersey presentation?
Especially after the full presentation on social media etc he's young he will get his shot.
Can't help but feel for him
