Ah, let's not act like he wasn't the best defensive centre in the comp heading into the season. He doesn't pass to his winger and only runs the ball which is why he had a career high in try and line break assists last season. This season has been different and the crap in his game is extra frustrating given how the team has performed this season and he's a big reason why.

He's gotta play better. He's not going anywhere. Time for some to get over that cause we got much bigger problems.

I agree blazza18. You are so right.

Somebody in the coaching staff has to sit Willy Chambers down and tell him he has to concentrate on the basics and stay disciplined.

Last year; he was the best center in the competition. He was an extremely important and successful player in a premiership, State of Origin and World Cup winning Australian team.

This year; it seems to have gone to his head...and he is Meh.

Come back the old Willy Chambers....

Where ever you have gone? We need you.

At what point does the call get made that young shouldn't be playing anymore. If you're not here after July why still play him? Surely it benefits the team for the back end of the season to have Cheyse playing now

Maybe Cheese isn't doing too well in cup and we're waiting for him to get some confidence and form back? I can't think of any other reasons why you'd pick Young given he's obviously got one foot out the door already.

Good to see Cheyse return after a long stint on the sidelines.

Not feeling much from this lineup today. Hope to be proven wrong.

Conceding that scrum try is just f*cking embarrassing.

Tonumaipea’s best ever first grade moment.
