Re: 2024 Round 7 v Broncos: Teams and Previews *Teams p1
Surely Broncos won't run with both Smoothy and Sailor on the interchange against our forward pack... Te Kura or Taupau to push into the final 17 on game day possibly?

Wild how many people are sperging over predictions that Ricky will probably pick his favourite, Hopoate, over Schiller.

Re: 2024 Round 7 v Broncos: Teams and Previews
I think Schiller should hold his spot. He's got a very good try scoring ability- he can finish with speed, he's athletic in the air and tall (becoming more important in the short drop out era in a number of ways too) and he has that bit of creative unexpected spark too. Based on last season, I thin...

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Teams and Previews
Starling certainly hasn't been killing it but I don't think we have a utility in the team who has the capacity to play big minutes at hooker in the case of an injury. I could be wrong about that but there isn't anyone in the forward rotation that jumps out to me. So based on the assumption that we ...

Starling is the luckiest bloke to make the 17 each week without a question imo.
