It would be cool if they ran out something very different, a good melt down here over bold selections would make a change, at least.
Would certainly be innovative.
Maybe Ardie reads the Fern.

“I don't have a say, do I? Just wherever Razor needs me, or where I fit in best for the team, that's where I'll play,” Savea said, grinning.“If that's 12 or 13, then I do my best and try to put my best foot forward.
He’s not a 13
Probably better suited to 12. He has a kicking game too....
In a 6-2 situation and you ran out of backs , with a bit of practice I think he could do,it . Even if he just carried over the advantage line .
Well he could pass to an invisible man as well as Ennor (or Havili) could ..and just imagine the dummy passing!

At least he should make the gain line....

Looking forward to Ioane and Clarke on the wings. That’s a powerful combo, good size and speed.

I agree.
Blues players are finally good for something! :winking_face:But it sounds like it'll be Reece and Ioane.
Hope Clarke can get over whatever issues he is having. -
He's meant to be the tallest out of that lot. Needs more leg days though.

Maybe it’s just the angle, but Norris looks like a big fella.
It it were the real Norris, he'd be called Chuck and Robertson would field a team of 1 AB
(I'll get my coat)

IIRC Norris spent some time packing down at lock for the Mooloos last season
He was the backup lock in one game. Norris is 1.95 m so is tall.

A prop with the perfect weight/height ratio to play number 8. We missed our chance with Hayman, Norris is our man….

@ACT-Crusader Norris can fight over the position with Williams.
