  • Peni has not dropped the ball more than anyone else. You can't wait all year for someone to drop a ball and then when they do it once sa see I told you. If you really think that then back up your mouth by keeping tally of Peni's drops and the other forwards and show a scrap of evidence. Dumping on our own players like this when not justified can only harm their confidence and become a self fulfilling prophecy. 

    Having said that I agree Kaufusi should get a go next week. For one, we need to give the reserves a game to keep them match ready. BA should rotate that last bench spot until one of those forwards stands out and claims it.

    • Coyote c'mon he DOES drop the pill, he renowned for it otherwise I wouldn't give it breath.

      • We both have our opinions - let's see the stats 

        tried to find them but havent yet

    • Peni and Taka really did not contribute much to the team last night, what the game showed is that Stone is worthy of a bench spot likewise I beleive time for Oregon to be also given a bench spot, which in a sense will be an audition from both Stone and Oregon for a bench spot once Brown returns.  Marata on his performance last night deserves to keep a spot in the team, even off the bench.

        • Another year older Pops, and thanks for your comments.  I did enjoy the game last night especially the way the ref played, I had no idea about what was going on in the first few minutes with the first try, until I heard the 6 again being applied.  Interestingly for me I was surprised at how Jamile Hoppa went last night he tried aggression and hard play and did ok for his first NRL game, even with some missed tackles.

          I don't think that Lodge added a lot to the game though, and thought Payne Haas tried his heart out for the mules, when he gets his cohorts back in Fifita and Paangai Jnr back their pack will be on another level.

            • Mate, I have looked at some of the blogs here for a while and for me, a waste of time reading past the blogs thrust, very much boring stuff for me.  Think that maybe i'm not rowing solo in a cabin cruiser.

                • Thanks, glad the cooler weather is here in one way as the heat is something that I don't like and knocks me around. Winter is better as I can rug up to keep warm and add on what I need for that, heat in summer??? Well one can only take off a certain amount of clothes to try and cool down before offending others and oneself at the same time.

                  • Colin, good to see you. I hope you and the family are well. And stay cool, mate! 

                    • Thanks HOE.

                      Good to be back, even though my checks on the blogs dropped to around once a fortnight, with not much of interest.

    • It is how he drops the ball, other forwards drop it in getting tackled, Peni drops it stone cold with no defender in sight.

"I did modern day as 1998 onwards as I didn't see them play, as some here haven't. Where I believe majority of people here have seen all the modern day players play.
Plus it frees up some spots like we all know who 5/8 will be but now no idea."
