Still have the unbalanced loose forward trio, the switcharoo midfield, and a right winger whose reasons for being in the team are voided by his position.....

Webber? Clack? Amoua?I really hope that they are good because we haven't been doing very well.

@taniwharugby So Cane was right about the average AB fan.

been reading some more, for amusement sake, and you know what, Cane is bang on, TSF excluded of course, well most of us...ok, a few of us...ok a couple of other guys on here.
Are some even saying Smith is past it, TJP should start...so many of these FB coaches couldnt even coach ripper rugby
-
I am wondering who Al Black is...
-
Maybe this was discussed somewhere and I'm super late to the party but Cane said some fans are brutal and he hasn't said a truer friggen word. FFS in the age of fake news, misinformation, and carefully manipulated sound bites, someone utters a true, from the heart statement and the purveyors of fakeness (news/social media) are on him about it. Just piss off!

Lucky the fern is here. Every criticism is carefully scrutinised, sanctioned and approved.

Well firstly avoid it. There are a lot of dickheads out there.
Secondly, don't feed the troll. -

Jordie!!! FFS the dude is not a wings asshole.
Akira!!! About freaking time.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, what actually is the rationale for playing Jordie at 14? Does anyone know? Has Foster explained it? Don't seem to have seen any evidence in the games so far of his particular skills being exploited.
Good to see Akira being given a crack. Had my concerns, but liked his attitude during his last outing

This Ikara bloke at 6 could do OK there.......

I read somewhere Foster did mention kicking was a reason but not sure where that is now, and JB has hardly kicked!
PERHAPS it is because of experience. All that experience JB has at wing. Sigh.
Or because Plumtree loves people who play for the Canes.
Speaking of experience, no wonder Foster does not pick Sotutu and Aoane to start together. Never played together before, I am sure
Nope, lets have a Chief a Cane and a Blues start together as loosies. Experience!!
Oh dear oh dear oh dear... -

It's pretty standard to pick a Barrett for something the game plan does not actually achieve in this coaching set up. Scott to challenge line outs, Jordie to kick, beaudy to be dangerous from the back
-
A few “tough” decisions ahead for Foster and co.
I reckon Scott Barrett, Akira, Sotutu come into the starting lineup.

2/3 right. Things starting to look better for Fozzie.

Good that he's selected Akira, unsure about Barrett, but both of those two changes are choosing between specialists.
Sadly, the Sotutu one is the worst, although easiest justified because experience, but it means that the selectors still aren't facing up to the 'Pick Both' trouble they've forced themselves into. The continued selection of Jordie exemplifies that.

@gt12 I didn’t bother to mention Jordie because I was pretty certain that they would select him, so wasn’t even going to go there.
I think Savea has played pretty well overall but thought they might spring a surprise and start Sotutu and use Ardie to close out the match.
Scott Barrett is due a big match I reckon.
