One advantage is Titans and Fifita will most likely not know much at all about Gauc, and he could be really underestimated by Fifita

Honestly I’ve seen nothing from Foran so far to validate him being picked over Schuster. I’d rather leave Parker in the centres when Siro comes back and put Schu straight to 6. Always been a Foz fan but his age and injuries have caught up with him. I’d perhaps carry him as a utility at 14 if we were to start Cust at 9. His value from now must be as a mentor/assistant player/coach. I’d hate to see either Guac or Schu drop out when siro comes back, but I think it’s likely.
Fair point mate - that's a different angle but if he does contain Fifita - what a Massive scalp and would confirm he may have played his last game in reserve grade !!
Not sure what you base that on? Haumole may be a bit taller but Fifita is almost as wide as he is high!
Here are more stats on those two players
It is not the size of the man but the size of his heart and effort he puts in on game day
I agree. Fifita has been known to clock off. The question is, can Gauc put in for the whole 80? Will be very interesting to see
You are right . Fifita like most players do clock off
It is all about Des clocking on All our players on and putting in a resilient effort for 80 minutes each week
Size is one thing but it's how you use it too. I'm hoping Haumole makes an impact this weekend but i hope we all cut him a bit of slack coming off a nasty looking injury to mark up against not only a rep fwd but probably the most damaging ball runner in the game atm. It will be a good challenge for our whole team this weekend as the Titans are playing with purpose so far this season.
Having Tom back is a huge plus, given he hasn't played much might be down on fitness but will make the attack more fluid. There were a few times Walker didn't run the right line where DCE was expecting him to be which lead to a pass to no one or a quick on the run change to no option where he was tackled.
Expecting an improvement this weekend but not a miraculous turnaround.
What an inspirational player Toovey was . Every week he gave 110%
Every week he played above his weight something our players have not been doing Every week

A weakened warriors Bear?? I know this has been mentioned but we were more weakened than they were and the Warriors beat the Titans albeit at full strength. I don’t think we win, I just want to see us have another good dig. The lineup is much improved with Tom and Guac in. I watched the Titans knights Kayo mini yesterday and fair go sone of those knights efforts were as bad as I’ve seen. Fafita made a break and Tge Centre was not even running to try get him, just jogging back. And the try off the tap! I think we will be a far tougher challenge for them than Newcastle last week. Let’s hope we get a win.
Agree 100%, never took a backwards step and what he lacked in size physically made up for it with a big heart and determination to win. He was the personification of toughness

Fafita does go missing in games too tho Bozo. Look at his real beast mode games. Largely against poorer opposition. Not saying he’s a flat track bully. But it’s not impossible to contain him either. It will be an interesting battle in the middle this one. Lots of good forwards on display in this one.
YOu are right Fifita has been known to go missing . I saw that when he played with the Broncos .
I believe those Big boys like Fifita and Kikau can also be put off their game by an enforcer defender out wide who consistently moves up and unsettles them .
I believe we have that aggressive player now in Gauc who can do the job
I love Gaucs aggression and intimidation Something our players have been lacking
I wish Jake couid play with a bit more aggression and intimidation . He looks like a choir boy on the field
