FT lost 24-26

Navale 43 tackles,no misses,runs for 117.
Laiafi did well with ball in hand,missed a few tackles though.
Kioa at centre has been going pretty well since joining mid year,might be worth keeping around for next year in some capacity.

People should not get their hopes up for Pua’avase or Patolo. I’ll give them credit by saying that they both made their tackles but between them to have 11 runs for 81 metres is a joke. Especially when you have a 18 year old that takes 13 runs for 115 metres + Navale making the same. I agree with Joe that Laiafi has plenty to work on when it comes to defence + fitness but at least he is working hard to make an impact.

Navale 43 tackles,no misses,runs for 117.

He really does need more time in the NRL squad. I've been disappointed that his development seems to have stalled this season: very limited minutes in the very limited opportunities he's had so far.

I have said in the past that I think they might be better on the edge.
They both were edges in the juniors and just because you put them in the middle is no guarantee of success,chuck Kikau at prop and see how he goes.

It seems to be "In Jake Seibs trusts",personally I think you could work both in the top 17.

I thought he'd get the call-up when Brown was ruled out but they chose Talau on the bench.
Be interesting to see who gets picked v Storm, you'd imagine our forwards will be under more pressure than Souths could throw at them ... extra forward on the bench? (If there's worries about Turbo or Saab's fitness then leave them out!)
