Croft/Jacks both playing reverse grade. The third halfback playing in the 7. This is so wrong, sometimes I wonder about Craig's mind. I know he is a master coach but really where does his ideas comes from. When he likes a player he really likes them.

I zoned in and out of the game so don't take my word for it. Croft didn't do much to stand out at all. Walters and Drinkwater looked more impressive.

We wont find out but have to wonder if it's a disciplinary thing. It's very odd that he's gone from named at 7 to dropped in 3 days.

Looking like 1st place will be up for grabs for us in this game.

To me I feel this will have to be a game of Speed VS Brawn.
Let's hope we can run circles around them and tire them out good and proper.
But for me today, it'll be interesting to see if we can weather their power of their strong runners and hard hitters.

Bellyache isn’t the only one that plays games with named lineups.

We could do with targeting our kicks to Maumalo.
I feel we can get some good line breaks through Blair, Lino & Johnson if we are able to give them just a little bit more extra attention.

Surprised they have decided to leave out Afoa.
