The pack looks good but I'm not sure where the points are coming from
I seriously wonder where we're going as a team lately, selections, rotations seem somewhat bewildering to me.
From commentary on here it seems some are showing brilliant potential but are not being given the opportunity and yet others are given opportunity and yet are not showing enough (imo of course)
Maybe "the club" has written the season off, maybe sticking to tried and true in the belief it will work or something in the middle, all very puzzling to me.

Position - Left right out or hung out to dry
Keen to have a proper look at Toelau. He hadn't done much wrong in his little stints but hard to ignore the fact that Grant coming on made things flow much better. Which is to be expected, by the way.
Do we know if he prefers halves or hooker? I think the Bears have Tyran earmarked to play hooker next year, so hoping we're not playing 3 hookers.
Edit - arguably 4 with Satrick on the bench.

Think Trent's best position is 9. I think he's a horrid option in the halves. I expect it to be the key talking point out of tonights game, how out of depth he looks in the 7. I hope I'm wrong, as we badly need the win tonight. Wouldn't surprise if Wish takes more control like a 7 though, Trent can probably play a 2nd fiddle role in halves at a pinch. I thought Wish was recruited by bears to play 7, but could be wrong, they signed sexton also I think?Lucas wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2026 10:43 am Keen to have a proper look at Toelau.

From what I've seen, definitely not a hooker.
Bio on website says 5/8, I think that might be his fit.
Wishy is a 5/8 more than 1/2 and as such I'm left scratching my head.

It looks like Leo out as well!
