Vaealiki Out

[Chip and Chase]

According to late mail in SMH Vaealiki is out with a knee injury with no replacement decided upon yet by Dessie. No word on who will drop off 7 man bench yet either.

Will he play Menzies in the centres, move Lyon out there and get a new 5/8, or will Neumann be promoted again ??

Lets hope it goes like this

- Lyon -> Centre
- Le Strange -> 5/8 or Wells -> 5/8

It can't hurt.

Blessing in disguise.........

The whole entire world can see it except Des Hasler.
Lyon into the centres where he belongs.

Initial reports had Matai ready for week 3

He may be a bolter ?

 

[Jatz Crackers]

Associated to this is that Mattai was listed as returnng in Rnd 3 as late as Wednesday and is now listed as Rnd 4.

As much as he has deficiencies, who else is looking forward to his return ?

Quickdraw KE

I never thought I would see the day but I am looking forward to his return.

I wonder how he would go at 5/8

Have my doubts about his footy brain tbh. Maybe its a forward migration thing on the way to lock

If their is one good thing Matai can do is pull of the momentum killing hits. Theres a compilation of some of his hits on Youtube.

I couldnt see him as a 5/8, but i don't think any forwards would be running straight at him lol

Flip, after being at a few games at the end of the season, to me it is quite clear that it is coached into the structure for Matai to try and pull out a big hit. I noticed at the start of the set he would move closer to the ruck, Orford would shift outside him, and he would run in and a bit of cover would hang back to cover that hole. Is similar to what Hopoate used to be used for by Des, and effectively ended his career

Word is Matai not ready for another 3 weeks at least.

I'm hoping Monaghan at 5/8, Lyon centre.

Can even win us the Grand Final.

Oh geee.....forgot. We dumped Monaghan.
