    I think that you’ll find that what they are saying is McWhannel is now about to be out for longer than 2 weeks….

      Christie looked good before he ran out of gas (after 8 weeks off). It's smart to get more game time into him from this game, and freshen up Funaki. He's also a better kicker, so may hint at our tactics for this one.

      He's so much better than Nock it's not funny, so we need him back up to speed if we progress further into the comp.

      I would disagree here. Funaki is a better kicker (and option taker, which comes into kicking) than Christie.

        Maybe Christie will improve a lot with a game under his belt, but he was ass last week.

                Anyway, Christie + Funaki is > Funaki + Nock, so this is an improvement.

                  I see the Drua have gone with a 6/2 bench. A few teams have chosen to do that against the Blues this season.

                    Someone on Reddit is reporting that they hear Lomani is out, replaced by Matawalu with Koruvoli on the bench. A big loss for the Drua if true.

                            Truck me commentators talk some shit in the pregame.

                            "Reiko Ioane has put away the flair game so he can concentrate on getting over the gain line"

                            He can't fucking pass. That's why they told him to stop trying

                              I enjoy how Vern Cotter somehow has a Blues hat that looks like it was made in 1996

                                In two games back Perofeta got carded vs Crusaders

                                Cost top spot vs Chiefs with a moronic kick

                                Now he's kicked off on the full

                                But he's starting over Forbes because why exactly?
