Naiduki has hands like feet.
Niukore into centre
Blake to wing
Drop Simmonson. For this weekend i'd go with:
2. Perham
3. Penesini
4. Niukore
5. Blake
Bring on the next Fijian flyer. The Naiduki chant is going to be interesting.
Anybody remember some guy we had a few years ago, Semi Something-or-other?
Let's get him.
