We have been decimated by injury and suspension which is affecting our form and combinations. Our next block of 4 games:Warriors
- Josh Curran (knee, TBC)
- Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (concussion, round 9)
- Kodi Nikorima (COVID protocols, round 9)
- Marcelo Montoya (suspension, round 10)
- Chanel Harris-Tavita (groin, round 10-11)
- Tohu Harris (knee, mid-season)
- Tom Ale (knee, mid-season)
- Aaron Pene (suspension round 9)
Pompey/Vailea will have their hands full with Ramien. Good luck to whoever gets tasked with marking Talakai. Personally I'd push for Aitkenpompey proving to be a great defender - knows what he is doing there at centre - someone needs to sit on top of the talakai (and naden for that matter) all day
obs - vailea and pompey are written in the wrong way there... also this one is an important game hey? We should be looking to beat the Sharks twice (next meeting in the 14th round) - if we can do that we will push in the post season, if not could well be condemned to languishing at 11th or 12thwalsh

Berry to drop out, needs game time in reserves imo - the siro/lock question is an interesting one, i agree with fonzie that he is not being used correctly - what if he was put in at lock and given ball playing instructions? much like yeo is used in one mode at the panthers, as first receiver and distributor (obviously siro couldn't/shouldn't revert to the 'bend the line and off load' mode though, he's just not that kind of body) - and if it's a straight choice between siro or jazz i'd go jazz every day.
