@FakatavaFuture im assuming he just needs a rest, i think he's played most games, may have also clicked he's a midfielder or not at all and TUJ/Timu works better

@FakatavaFuture The outlook is better for Scott Gregory, who misses the Rebels game due to the flu but should be available next week.

@Machpants said in Rebels vs Highlanders: I think a better combo than Marty Banks! “It’s a pretty good idea having old Aaron Smith and Folau Fakatava as a 9 and 10 combo,” Hall said of the idea, which was initially floated by host Ross Karl. “We’ve seen it [TJ Perenara has played 10 for the Hurricanes and All Blacks] and I think nobody would have thought Gilbert was going to be able to play 10, with Hunty [Mitch Hunt] being there. “Would not be surprised if Tony Brown chucked out something, the two 9s playing 9 and 10.” They read the fern! I suggested this before Gilbert got selected there.

@SouthernMann for a guy that has played NZ7s, he seems to have zero ability to beat a man, last year at least he had good leg drive and got the gain line while buying time for his support too, this year, bar maybe 1 or 2 games, he has offered buggar all going forward, and even his straight on defence has been suspect, again, somerhing that was a strength.
