What happens with Sika now?

I just want to make it clear that I don't want to see any underperforming players that Bellyache has been loyal to included in the team from now on, and watching Sika Manu last night confirmed that he is another player down on form and deserving of a spell in the NSW Cup. He was dreadful against the Sharks, ill disciplined and the school boy handling errors were painful to watch (sure Hoffy made more errors but he certainly made up for that with two tries, the second which gave us momentum to win the game). The crowd even cheered when Sika managed to hang on to the ball. He just does not look interested and his mind seems to be on playing for Penrith next year and he is a shadow of the player he was in 2008 and 2011.

The Storm cannot carry out of form baggage into the finals and what started with Dane Nielsen (who was only in the team last night due to Juzzy being rested and should be back out of the team next week - I hope) after the Dragons game surely must happen now with Sika after last night's effort.

He won't drop Sika this week, He will be resting the big 3 most likely Salte and Smith for sure won't take the field. Sika may have got him self a get out of jail free card..he may play a good game this week and stay in the team for finals...in saying that though if we actually had some depth he could drop him but to drop him we need to bring someone better in ..and we have no one who is match ready....Skia dropped means Kostajacyn coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO WAY IN HELL

Bahahaha... I pray it was just a really off night for Sika. When playing at his best, he is completely damaging. Haven't seen that Sika for a while though :(

You'd think he'd want to go out with a premiership, who knows when he'll get a chance again with him going to Penriff.

Maybe he is practicing his penriff style now and lowering his work load so it will be easier for him to fit in when he goes there.

We can not afford to drop anyone this week.
They are all under performing and are just starting and I do mean starting) to get some sort of rhythm resting pleayers now would be a huge misstake

Sika will come out firing this week i reckon , he's been off his game a bit lately but most of the boys have so ill give him the benifit of the doubt.
If were to have a real crack this year we need him firing a hitting the holes like he used to do so well. Im hoping he copped a rocket and has worked hard this week on his ball handling.

I disagree Nacho..how is it Hoffman's fault that Sika can't hold the ball? i think Sika is lazy and his concentration is off..when on he is a gun so hopefully he gets a rocket and sorts himself out
