Bro wtf is he thinking having Opacic on the bench when we've already lost Paulo due to origin. I will not be surprised if we lose this game.

Better off putting Perham on the bench.

  Usually id agree. The only reason to play Tom is to put pressure on centers to perform.

Odd having Opacic on the bench, and I would have thought it would be better to have Kaufusi or Maka start in Paulo's spot, but what would I know...
Marty July 5, 2022 at 4:12pm

Marata to bench

Maka starts

Opacic to England

Wiremu or Brown or Carty to bench

i don't understand this is two week in a row with Opacic, Paulo at Origin and we get a centre for 3min.

Brad Arthur you gotta leave mate and Ciraldo OR Flanagan for '23 or even RIGHT NOW

  This BA blokes got NFI mate..
  
  He would be picking his son if he thought he wouldn't get any slack - luckily the fans have called him out on that shit, so now he knows that crap can't fly.

Nathan Brown still a first grade quality forward. Hasnt been that bad this year. Should be in there. Must have blewn up when he got dropped as surely he comes in for Paulo. Just strange.

  Given they're trying to shop Nathan Brown around to other clubs I'm assuming they're effectively trying to manage him out early by making it clear he won't be in the first grade side. We obviously need his money off the cap sooner rather than later so they're trying to get him out the door.

Opacic on the bench is baffling.

I'll be honest I didn't actually notice how he was used last week, I was too angry to notice. How did we use him in the rotation?
