So who had the “honest” reviews

I dont mind Jordie getting more time in the midfield ,

Because with him, Jordan and Beaudie likely to be in the 23 , we have plenty of fullback cover ,

its nice to know he can slot back in there if required if this happens again

Tim

Swain faces the judiciary tonight.

Tupaea is likely out for two to three months, so I hope he gets a lengthy ban.

Nothing less than 6 weeks will suffice

2 week reduction for an exemplary record (in the state of Victoria).

Kiwiwomble

A throw away line in an Ozzie article implied he was going to fight it

I can see why. He could get off.

Stargazer

I wonder which section he's been cited under.

I can only see three sections that could be used:

There was no head contact, so no minimum mid-week range starting point.

A lot will depend on the degree of recklessness or intent the judiciary thinks was involved in Swines' actions.

As to possible reductions: he won't get the full 50% reduction because of his red card for head butting. So if the starting point is 6 weeks, he'd probably get 4. Of course, it also depends on whether he admits to what he's been cited for. Is he fighting that, or just the sanction? If he doesn't admit he's done anything wrong, that also means less deduction.

I genuinely hope the starting point is at least 10 weeks, so he'd get at least 6 weeks suspension, but that would mean they have to start at a top-end entry point. Will they?

Edited to add that there's no reason why he can't be charged under more than one provision.

@Paekakboyz

Reece in for Jordan IMO

Probably, though I thought Jordan started to show some flashes of his previous form in Bled 1.

Wouldn't be surprised to see JB at 12, WJ at 15 & Reece at 14.

Gunner

If RTS is good enough to be picked in the squad, he needs to be starting this weekend.

JB is our fullback and can stay there.

He can play Japan, that's his level. He's not great as seen in NPC, needs a couple more years.

Clarification: He's an amazing athelete, but needs more years of union to be good enough for big games. Everyone forgets SBW did 2 years of union before he played in NZ, RTS has had barely a handful of games. He's a liability IMO

Agree he's a bit green but he seems to be a quick learner. I was amazed to find out he's played only 17 games of RU at the top level. Def. against Japan & on the EOYT.

I'm sure he's geting benefit from being in the ABs environment - apart from Foster
