@Nepia hasn't he been replaced by an Australian on the bench?

[Nepia]

@Bones Nope, looks like a Maori.

@Nepia ahh ok I'm getting him confused with that aussie from waikato.

Actually, I think he might have been replaced by an Islander. I only checked the bench. Who’s the Aussie from Waikato?

If you're talking about Sullivan replacing Moeakiola, than he's a Maori from Napier.

Would like to see Etene and Alaimalo get switched around. I think wing really limits Etene's attacking game. I think he'd be a much bigger threat at fullback.

@Dice apparently Alaimalo dont like playing wing...

[gt12]

@taniwharugby

He's been fucking useless at FB recently, and he's an idiot as his best current opportunity to go the WC and beyond is at 14. We should be running out Stevenson on one wing, Alaimalo on the other, and Dmac (or right now Nanai-Seturo) at 15.

McKay IS covering 10. Be real interesting to see how he goes should he get a decent opportunity. I really thought he would have spent quality time at 10 for Canterbury last year and had him ahead of Cameron but Maddock went the other way and I'm yet to see McKay running the cutter, as he did for CBHS.

The best defense is a good offense? :thumbs_up:

When aSmith gets his passing game going , it’s a thing of beauty

[nzzp]

Christ on a bike, when A Smith is in this mood he's incredible. Those flat bullet passes are sensational. Just a thing of beauty. Hopefully he builds this into September this year ... amd liking his flat pass on the line so much right now

[Machpants]

@nzzp pity he does like most half backs and fucks around behind the scrum rather than getting the ball out ASAP
