  • I'll be filthy if stone is dropped or Evans. Stone is a dead set animal. I love the way He plays & I think he'll be a future leader of this club 

  • Kafusi is the future of this club. He made a couple errors last game but otherwise this year he has been very impressive, bending back oppoenents defensive line. Evans was first game back last week and was pretty impressive. Was very good of the bench prior to his injury so he will be there. Marata has been our best bench player this year. Marata actually played centres for Cook Islands a couple years ago so he can actually cover the centre position which means Davey probably comes out of the side. Stone versatility at hooker makes him a better option than Davey. Nonetheless, this is a great headache for BA to have. Infact BA could consider resting either Lane, Paulo or RCG for 1 game since its only the dragons and we got plenty option to cover them.

    • If you look at Trent Robinson he always rested his players the past couple years even if they had no injuries. This is the perfect chance to rest any key players so they are fresh for the back of the year football. This is a luxury barely any other team has, and BA should take advantage of it. 

  • I thought Matto was going to miss another week.

  • Davey obviously lol 

  • If I was BA I would rest a few players, only because it's a short turn around, with a very heavy ground due to all the rain, players might be a bit flat, also we play the storm the following Thursday, and we need our full squad for that game.

     

    so my side vs the dragons would be..

    1: C Gutherson 

    2: H Dunster

    3: M Jennings

    4: B Takarangi 

    5: B Ferguson

    6 D Brown

    7: M Moses

    8: K Evans

    9: R Mahoney 

    10: O Kaufusi 

    11: S Lane

    12: R Matterson 

    13: N Brown

     

    14: R Stone

    15: A Davey

    16: M Nuikore 

    17: S Utoikimanu 

    I would rest RCG, Jr Paulo, W Blake and M Sivo

  • On recent form it would have to be Kaufusi 

    • We know what Kafusi is capable of but is still learning and player of the future. Davey is finally showing what he can do, and has held his own against the opposition. I would put him in front of Evans at this point and based on the swimming pool game, certainly worth more time off the bench and possibly another years extension.

  • Yer must admit Davey is getting better and better

  • Looking at each club's injured list last night and no other club has their full roster available (bar Peni). Good luck, good physical preparation, good rehab, good management, all no doubt playing a part but in 3 months time having a healthy squad will be enormous for our chances of winning this comp. 

    As for who drops out, I'd say Davey as much as it pains me to say it as I love what this bloke offers the club. Evans and Kaufusi will rotate the props, Stone is the versatile energy guy who ups the tempo in the lat stages of each half, make the least amount of changes as possible.
