General Late Mail for todays game

[WarriorDog_old]

Apparently Roy Asotasi is a huge chance of playing against us today. He has been training with the team and is in Auckland.

Also the Warriors haven't ruled out a Vatuvei return

Wont happen. He was ruled out for four weeks.

If he does play, it means the initial 4 week diagnosis was crap and thats just dirty tactics.

 

[mrblonde_old]

If they did it would make a mockery of the Tuesday naming deadline which is....um...lemme see....

Oh, yeah, it already is a mockery!

Either the NRL have to get stringent on team changes made between Tuesday evening and game time or they should allow the teams more time to name a team that might actually take the field as listed.

Obviously you have to take into account last minute injuries and fitness test failures but it runs the real risk of fans feeling a bit dudded.

If Roy is a possibilty - same with Manu - why can't they be listed on an extended bench?

 

[warriors4life_old]

I don't think Vatuvei is playing, because then Tupou would've dropped to the U20's game, which he hasn't.

 

[Fazz_old]

Playing Manu would be dumb. He'll just get more injured and we'll have to play with a reduced bench again...Then again we have won both times that's happened =/
