solid,but not outstanding,in Darwin
No mention of Hayward in the squad ?
Is he injured or just not performed well in the 2 trials ?
That is what I was thinking, I thought he was in line for #12. I also prefer the backrow I think from the first trial with McCalman at 6 and McCaffrey at 8 and Wykes impact from the bench. Team as follows:
1 Pek
2 Charles
3 longbottom
4 Lynn
5 MMM
6 McCalman
7 Alcock
8 McCaffrey
9 Matthewson
10 Ebersohm
11 Mafi
12 Hayward
13 CTM
14 Cummins
15 Tupou
16 Maafu (prefer Manu)
17 Teesman
18 Wykes
19 Brown/Cottrell
20 Snowden
21 Godwin
22 Dellit/Rasolea
Very unlucky - Brown/Cottrell, Dellit/Rasolea, Maafu/Manu, Stubbs, Christie.
Without going to Darwin, and with no program to reference in Mandurah, my impression is that 12 has been pretty much CTM and Kyle in the trials. Hayward didn't figure strongly AFAIK so maybe he's locked the position up and they were looking to the bench in the trials, or maybe he's hurt.
We'll know Friday I guess

Is tupou really A fullback?
Posted via Mobile Device
I don't know if it was Tupou, but one of the players who lined up there on Friday night certainly is a fullback! Great kicking, not afraid to counterattack save under the high ball and picked up a meat pie as I recall.

He looked bloody sharp there!
(maybe against substandard opposition, but still, no mug)

Sam Christie can't play. Where's Sam Wykes? Who's cover for Alby? Hodgo is injured.
Manu is also on the EPS. Two props? No scrum half backup?
The long sobs of autumn's violins wound my heart with a monotonous languor
