Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

I just watched the game last night and my thoughts on it are: - Whitehead looks HEAVY. I think he's put on weight over the offseason. The commentators remarked that he was out on his feet at the 15 min mark and tbh he did F-all in that time so it's a worry. - Hoppa should never play centre (or fb)....

Schiller is an absolute lock.
He's basically running around like an international against under 12's.

You've all just got a bunch of opinions on things you aren't involved in and don't comprehend the emotions.
You're applying your logic and experiences against someone else.

The dude is fine.

The peanuts on here just think that every hooker needs to be Cam Smith.
We've had two guys battle it out and neither have solidified the position.

Levi is a tough bugger and does the hard work. He must also smash it off field to be held in such high esteem within the club walls.
