So what do we do with Hiku if Fusitua and Rog are back, because having centres that could tackle was refreshing.

He played out of his skin at fullback.

 

[Sledge]

1 Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
2 Beale
3 Hiku
4 Kata
5 Maumalo

16 Herbert
17 Tevaga

This unfortunately will be Kearneys lineup.

 

[Tedster]

Manged to listen to press conference and I'm not confident that Herbert will be picked over Kata, he mentioned key players missing and had the audacity to say in the same breath Roger & Sol (but not Green). :-(

 

[playdaball]

I guess this game has proven one thing, Ashyford will struggle to get another Warriors 1st grade contract.He wasn’t that bad however the emergence of Herbert and with youngsters such as Pompey in reserve grade, there is now probably no need for Blake in 2020 and beyond.

 

[ko wai ra]

With kata's dummy half scoot's,SK should jus round out his bench with a 4th hooker option.....

Jus saying!!!

 

[Fearmuss]

Kata can’t come back after Herbert’s performance, unless Kearney has completely and utterly lost it.

 

[Tim burgess]

Agree, Kata should be warming the bench for a while and Hiku back in the centre assuming Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is fit.

Hopefully Green will also be fit.

Whilst I like Jazz I'm still not sure of his role in the squad. I much prefer Roache when fit coming off the bench.

 

[jonno]

If Kata comes back we have a 5% chance of making the finals, and Kearney has 5% chance of finishing out his contract.

Them's the odds.

Kata take the rest of the year off work. I'd like to say you've earned it... but really, if you think about it, it's all just charity going to a well paid footy player who's average at best at his job.

 

[Fearmuss]

Agree, Kata should be warming the bench for a while and Hiku back in the centre assuming Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is fit.

Hopefully Green will also be fit.

Whilst I like Jazz I'm still not sure of his role in the squad. I much prefer Roache when fit coming off the bench.

What I’m worried about now is next season, none of our options are a shade on Bully.

 

[Billy Teets James]

So what do we do with Hiku if Fusitua and Rog are back, because having centres that could tackle was refreshing.

Well , Obviously Beale misses out. Hiku offers to much on attack. Which is a shame, Beale is solid defensively. I guess, We are all hoping Hiku will sort out his defensive flaws. It was Alright last night.. His attack was magnificent tho!

 

[Old Sid]

Warming the bench? Don't agree with that one. Unless you mean as far as ISP bench?

 

[WellingtonOrca]

Wonder how serious Tevaga's injury is? It kinda annoys me that he was on the bench in the second half out of uniform, so clearly done and not coming back, but there wasn't a word about it from the commentators at least the Fox ones? Where was the sideline reporter?

 

[Billy Teets James]

Was Tevaga injured ? When Bully came off the last time, Jazz was already in his tracksuit. Bully looked at him like , Ayyyye? What's happening?

Commentators usually tell us about any injuries. But nada about Jazz.

Anyway,

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
Fusitua
Herbert
Hiku
Maumalo/Perham?
Chanel Harris-Tavita
Green
Ah Mau
Luke
Paasi
Harris
Blair/Maumalo(To early to be experimenting? Lol)
Burr

Afoa
Sao
Papalii/Pulu
Roache

18th Man Beale

 

[jonno]

1 Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
2 Fusitua
3 Herbert
3.1 Anyone But Kata
4 Beale
5 Mamalo
6 Chanel Harris-Tavita
7 Green
8 Ah Mau
9 Luke
10 Paasi
11 Blair
12 Harris
13 Burr
14 Roach
15 Pulu
16 Afoa
17 Sao

Watch Kearney pull a fast one and select Hiku and Beale in the halves, and the normal service resumes.

 

[ShaunJohnson7]

Didnt watch the game. Never seen Herbert play. Still want him over Kata

 

[jonno]

OK everyone, now that we've seen him play the best team of the last 20 years, check out his reel again.



He's like Kata, except with genuine pace, a passing game, a kicking game and punishing, matching winning quality defense.

OK so not like Kata at all really.

If the Warriors fuck this kid up, there will be nothing I can do to save them.

Herbie was almost as good as JRo
