And Sipley makes 3?

Yep .... the Punchies that were bagging our depth in the forwards may like to reassess .....

In fairness, the depth is ‘potential’ rather than established at this stage. There are green shoots though.

Ahhhhhh Remember the days when we had forwards like Myles, Hasson and Brown.....

Des has some emerging selection headaches in the forwards, and what a great problem to have. Will really help to cover the problems in the backs in the short term until everyone is back on deck.

Should make some enquiries about getting Tofs brother Pat back to the club too, he was coming along well the last couple of seasons but Kearney is a dunce

Pat was released by the Warriors and is now playing in the QLD cup for Wynnum https://www.qrl.com.au/players/intrust-super-cup/wynnum-manly-seagulls/patrick-sipley/

Kelepi was great in reserves as well.

Plus young Haumole

We need Holy Guac-Haumole in firsts because there hasn’t been a good nickname in the squad since Soggy.

Sipley, along with Gosi and Waddell have ALL been a very, very pleasant surprise.

Our bench tbh, is extremely under rated.

Did Sipley come back on in the 2nd half?

Injured or ?

Hope it was an injury as he only played 17 minutes 😎

I’m reasonably sure he copped a knock to the noggin. Saw him stumble back from a tackle after about fifteen mins.

We need Toa to be 100% next week.

Unfortunately AFB is now a marked man.....and not just by opposition props because of how good he is and is playing.

Two suspensions in only 5 rounds means that more than likely the refs will be watching him more closely. IMO the #1 thing he needs to work on is his discipline. We can't afford to keep having him watching games from the grandstand because he's out suspended. The only ones he's of any value to there are the canteen vendors.

I think Waddel looks really good and will make a great 3rd prop. Sipley was good yesterday and could definitely round out the rotation in the middle. Exactly what this team needed.

I reckon next year Waddell will start in the backrow along with Siro and Jake. Waddell was close to best on ground on the weekend. Killed it. Don't think he has the size to be a prop. Better suited to the back row.

Gozi punches above his weight that's for sure. Surprised he hasn't had a crack at centre this year with our injury concerns.

Gosiewski, while I love his energy I’d the new Tom symonds, does some really good things but he ****s up at the most in opportune times.

Love Waddell, give him Thomson’s edge now
