Very interesting going with Jack Howarth rather than Bronson on the bench. I like it . Gives us a few options.

1. Harry to play 80 ,and a full bench of forward rotations.

2. Tyron to 9 when/if Harry rests , Jack to centres , Nick Meaney to 7.

3. Jack to start at Centre, Nick to 7. Tyron to bench.

Did anyone go to training and see if they practised Nick in the halves?

Anyway, we’ll know soon enough.

Good luck , boys !

Also Howarth and Kamikamika are in for Garlick and Chan.
Why is Chan dropped? I think he has been excellent

Oh look, another Warbrick drop as our first error of the night to put us under pressure early, colour me surprised.

And there’s a Trent Loiero penalty to follow up, it’s like clockwork every week.

Ref blowing the pea out of the whistle. We need to play a bit tighter, too much side to side stuff.

Meaney Penalty Goal we are up 2-0 early after a fast paced opening.

What a brilliant piece of play for Eli Katoa to open the try scoring, throws a dummy and goes blind side from acting half and powers over, lovely eyes up footy.

Our goal line attack looks bog average. We are plonking up the middle and then very sideways on backline shifts.

Katoa goes over there through a tough scoot and some poor defence.

Wishart has done well other than the overall attacking structure. He has found a couple of half gaps and for the first time in living memory, our touch finders have got us decent metres.

Another Loiero infringement late in a set, opposition score. Seriously how does Bellamy persist with him?

Loiero and Wishart needed to close that gap

I have beenasking that question for two years. There must be better players in our squad
