Niukore will start and Brown to the bench, easy swap.
Unless BA wants a back-rower on the bench he can just start Brown. Rodwell, Maka and Oggy are all middles, putting Brown there would make it 4 middles on the bench.
Unbelievable. As much as I like Matterson as a player it really amazed me how a lot of players perform out of their skin when a new contract is looming but as soon as a new contract is signed they seemingly get short to long term injuries.
"3. Volkman attack anf considering what the dogs did to talingi last week huge effort
2 Pryke stepped up on debut
1 Williams sure up that left edge best 2nd rower performance all season in defence
"I just rewatched the game. Volkman needs to be careful. He hip dropped Preston a couple times to bring him down. If Preston's stayed down he would have got penalised "
"Thought Kelly was reasonably good today except for a couple of poor decisions. Nanva was very good and deserves a spot. Walker was a bit off with some stupid passes"
"Poppa, So you think after 40 years of NO premiership, multiple change of coaches which have produced ZERO an extremely poor recruitment, running 2nd last on the 2026 ladder, the worst defence in the league on top of already breaking a previous held…"

I wonder if this is one of Matto's short term injuries that becomes half the season on the sidelines.
His body is a temple, god is his compass.
Matto lucky he didn't play SOO then. There's to much to risk. He has signed hasn't he?
Was thinking the same.

It's called being injured...nice spin on the story.
Just observations of similar cases in
So are you saying after signing a new contract, he got injured on purpose or is faking it?
