  • Rodwell or Marata to start with Brown onto the bench

  • 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.

  • 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. 

  • 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. 

    • 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?

"The interesting part will be our bench rotation in the forwards with only Tuivaiti and Gymer on the bench with both Walker and DaSilva ball players. I wonder if we will have enough muscle on the bench for the bigger teams?"
