      I wish I knew LB. Cannot believe lumelume is being played over a guy like Martin who has so much more upside. Tuivita and Pryke in Flegg should be playing cup. I guess it's because we have so much forward depth in cup that the club rather them get big minutes in flegg than small minutes in cup.

        But they are not learning in Flegg. 25 mins in cup is more valuable than 50 in Flegg. I mean all due respect to say Reece Alderton, but being a RM players for a while his upside is not very high. Tuivaiti could offer the same or more. Flegg ain't going anywhere so why not just get him in and prepare him for 2025 where he will be needed.

    BECAUSE MATTHEW ARTHUR IS PLAYING 9. That's the ONLY reason.

    What's that smell... it's very familiar.... NEPOTISM.

      MA is a gun 9 and his attack is already far superior that Hands and Lussick. I just believe that Hands should start at 9 and MA of the bench in cup. MA can still get good minutes with Hands shifting to lock when he is on

      Obviously you haven't seen MA play. You should keep your uninformed opinions to yourself.

      Wrong. Matt Arthur is playing in the 9 because he earned the right. Mett is a very smart player.

      So is Hands and he should be the run on 9 in FG.

    You forgot to mention Moretti is in the front row where he would be better suited to edge back rower.Martyn hasn't even been relegated to rm cup. At a time when we need speed.

  Happy to see Russell gone and the big fijian back ! I hope that is the last of Russell playing first grade

    Sivo will definitely finish his tries but do not expect much of his defence and yardage carry's.
