2020 Rd 1 V Tigers: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

Re: 2020 Rd 1 V Tigers: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
There’s a big shift towards teams having a genuine utility on the bench his season. I’m a bit worried looking at the squad that we just don’t have one. Lots of very rigid players position wise. With CHN out I can’t see 3 middle forwards and Havili rolled out on the bench tomorrow. I’d say again I expect HSS in for Sutton/Soliola.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

Chris Coleman tells us via our Facebook group that Corey Harawira-Naera has also officially requested a pronunciation change... to “Hada-wida-Nigh-Da”.Roger Kenworthy wrote: ↑March 13, 2021, 3:17 pmYeah on Twitter Voss said he was fine with the old pronunciation but has now requested it be changed.

NZ commentators are trash but I'd always back them to respectfully attempt an accurate pronounciation of surnames.

Hahaha. What a muppet. If you read the article he was upset that he couldn't go away on a camp because he came back from pre-season overweight and he thought Stuart was picking on him. Geez I hope Scott outplays him tomorrow.‘Those words still motivate me’: Why Leilua is determined to silence Stuart
Joey Leilua wants to prove Ricky Stuart wrong in his first game in Canberra since leaving the club in 2019. Leilua says he still loves the Canberra fans and players, but criticism from Stuart still hurts.
“Those words from Stick [Stuart] about me not being good enough do motivate me,” Leilua said. “I’ve always had a lot of respect for Ricky, but when he said that it hurt me and I want to prove him wrong.

George Williams impressed with Harry Rushton at Canberra Raiders
England halfback George Williams has been impressed with what he has seen of another a Wigan recruit Harry Rushton.
"He's done really well for himself and I've been really impressed with his attitude," he said."He's still really young and pretty raw - you can see the raw talent. He's only played a couple of Super League games, he's learning every day, which we all are, but I think he's been blown away by how much detail and stuff does go into what we do every day."

“Then with the Sunshine Coast, I’d just come back from my wedding and was relaxed. Stick wasn’t happy about my weight. I ended up being the only one not going away.
“When he did that, I thought, it’s time to explore somewhere else.”
“‘Madge’ was blunt, there’s no bull**** with him,” Leilua said. “He said, ‘If you don’t come back in the right shape, you won’t play’.
“I looked at him and said, ‘That’s fine, I agree with you’.
It's funny how it's fine coming from Madge, but when Ricky tells him how it is, BJ's like "I gotta get out of here!".

He had very similar positive things to say about Ricky when he came here from memory. How he was being judged on performance as opposed to at the Knights where it was an old boys club.Finchy wrote: ↑March 13, 2021, 9:30 pmIBG wrote: ↑March 13, 2021, 9:08 pmHahaha. What a muppet.

That Leilua article is a hoot.

I'm superconfused about the winger situation. Croker/Simonssen have been a positively dangerous pairing in the past - why wouldn't you want to go back to that on that side, and have Scott/Raps on the other?
