What the actual fuck!
I am guessing Niukore is injured because there was no reason to drop him.
The fact his son is is on the bench is disgraceful. Last week's bench was bad enough but this takes the cake.
BA has lost the plot.
Niukore has a hamstring injury
He looked in discomfort trying to stretch it out late in the game yesterday, I thought it was his hip, but hammy way worse. Though it must be minor as he played on for a bit? Hopefully just one week, the difference he makes is undeniable, huge loss.
Agree 100% The sooner this clown leaves the better. Seriously, what possible reason could there be to include JA???
I agree, i think Bryce Cartright should have been on the bench, and there are other options. B.A. beffudles me at times with his selections. I think a few of us knew he would ''sneak'' his son in the team at some stage.!!
I watched JA closely on Monday, he was good, very good actually.
Not good enough to push DB to centre, which other way can it play out?
What has JA playing well in the halves in reserve grade got to do with him being on the bench in 1st grade?
He is not a forward or a utility. Carrying a back up half instead of another forward or a utility is ridiculous.
Exactly. JA goes alright, he's just not a bench player.
Penisini back to centre and Perham on the wing is what he should have done for yesterday. Jakob on the bench is a mystery. I don't want to bag the kid but why carry a half on the bench?
