I was expecing Penesini actually. I doubt Kaufusi and Cartright have been dropped, more likely rested. In any event this will keep the players on their toes. Hope Russell and Roach do well in their debut.
"It could all be between the ears for Hopgood. Either that or he's playing injured. The reason it could be psychological is he's making too many fundamental errors. Off side from kicks, not square at marker etc. Seems odd for a guy many considered a…"
"Defensively he's still got it which shows he's putting in the effort.
I'm struggling to find an answer on why he's making so many errors though, he was so reliable in 23/24"
"Interesting take on Hopgood there LB.
Apart from handling errors, i thought he had been going fine. This year he is supposedly on $320K of the salary cap, and is playing every week. I'm more concerned about say Matterson on $650k or Paulo on $950k,…"

Good move if makes sure we are motivated
Dogs are playing well recently
Sean Russell, did anyone see that coming ?
Interesting that Kaufusi has been dropped, he's been going well I thought.

BA was criticising dumb/ lose plays. Thought that was Cartwright and Lane - dont remember Kafusi contributing to the turn overs
He had a lose carry from a kick off. After we scored the 3 tries quickly from memory.
Yes i actually thought he was a genuine chance to get a call up this year if injury happened.
He looks pretty good, got decent height, i reckon he might go ok.
Sean who?
Dropped, not rested...Cartwright at least
Great, looking forward to seeing them play.
Heard loads about them, never seen them in action.
BA is going bananas with the fresh faces this season . I love it . Does anyone know how good this dude was in NZ ? Can't remember him at all .
