Yes, 100%. One of our 3 props to drop off.
Anyone worried about this? Hes only been playing under 21 in the q cup, hasnt been versing men.
It will be interesting to see which way they go. Otukolo has been in the 21 for a while… this is THE time to bring him in.
Reckon line up will look more like this come game day
1. Walsh 2. Montoya 3. Aitken 4. Pompey 5. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 6. Walsh 7. Nikorima 8. Fonua Blake 9. Tevaga 10. Ah Mau 11. Ben Murdoch-Masila 12. Harris 13. Curran
14. Otukolo 15. Katoa 16. Afoa 17. Evans. O’Sullivan been named qcup don’t think he’ll play also can’t see Tevaga playing the full 80 at hooker he can but probably not the best idea, Kosi and Pompey to fight it out for Wing

Is Jonno doing weather reports at the Knights forums now?I think i know who. I think we all do
We had a spot in our top 30 and chose to upgrade Otukolo rather than recruit someone. I'd be pretty surprised if we did that and then didn't use him when we needed a hooker.
I think it was me who brought up Cronk a while back in regards to Chanel Harris-Tavita. All I was saying was, in pre-season I remember reading Chanel Harris-Tavita had said somewhere that he quickly realised that he was never going to be an Shaun Johnson type of half and that instead he wanted to model his game on a Cooper Cronk type player. Definitely not comparing the two or saying Chanel Harris-Tavita is in the ballpark of where Cronk ended up...no where close!
Yea I remember that story as well which people don't understand. Not only his he learning first grade but he has had to completely change the type of player he is
I can't see them not playing Sean O'Sullivan. Our kicking game has been a big weakness. I would like to see walsh come into the line for the big boots. Seems crazy we only use his kicking game when he plays 6
Oh for crying out loud stop making excuses, some of you guys sound absolutely ridiculous
Wouldn't be surprised to see the backline be the below come late mail:
1 - Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
2 - Montoya
3 - Aitken
4 - Berry
5 - Pompey
6 - Walsh
7 - Niko
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck at the back is important defensively and this gives us Walsh's boot up front. But when it's Brownie calling the shots, god knows.

Blah blah "I hate Chanel Harris-Tavita" blah blah. I dont see anyone making excuses for a 33 game rookie but I do have to question why we shouldnt have more expectation on a 133 game veteran. Of our two halves FAR FAR FAR more should be expected from KN than Chanel Harris-Tavita.
Third person here that remembers the article, was on a website like Stuff or the Herald. And that's exactly what he said. Nothing wrong with aspiring to model your game on a player who had a very successful career, but not the natural breakneck speed and agility of someone like a Shaun Johnson which Chanel Harris-Tavita realises he doesn't have. The article does exist somewhere so worth having a read.
I often seeing emerging players getting written off, saying they are average after a handful of games and will never be first grade material. That's happened so much to our juniors this year. Chanel Harris-Tavita needs more work and he's admitted that. He has an awesome attitude and there is just something about him that just says "do not write him off". I hope he makes a good recovery from his latest setback.
Remember when the pitchforks were out when Nathan Cleary was having an average patch just 2 years ago? Seems hard to believe now.

Sironen has been disappointing to me after looking forward to him in the off season
He was supposed to be a great ball distributor but have never really seen him pass
Also is a scary player to have on the field in the last 20 protecting a lead as he has chronic issues with rushing the play of the ball and giving away needless penalties
very frustrating as he could be good
Ponga has been ruled out.

Another blow for Maroons: Ponga ruled out of Origin
Kalyn Ponga has been ruled out of Newcastle's clash with the Warriors due to his ongoing groin problem and is also out of contention for Queensland's shot at redemption in Origin II.
