If Abletts appeal is sucessful, he will replace Pitts in the squad, and hauraki will move to the bench with JJB move to SR and Ablett in LF

Is Kirke injured?

I'd pick Kirke before Hauraki.

We may as well play our own rubbish.

Bit unfair. Kirke has stepped up to the mark this season as a temporary prop. Averaging just under 21 tackles per game, 2nd best prop for metre per carry (7.09)

Just don't (under any circumstance) tell thebloodbath who tops that stat at Leeds.

Whilst a teeny tiny cameo in a season blighted by injury I thought his timing on the pass for Watkins 1st try was a great piece of centre play.

When fully fit I still think he's the best option for the right centre position currently on our books.

Agree with all the above, Thought he looked good at centre before he pulled up, good centre play.

Excellent. Quick, let's renew his contact because he managed to time a pass right and for all of less than a minute manage to look like a centre.

Unfortunately I'd agree with that. Which pretty much sums up our right centre predicament rather well.

A tad harsh on Smith IMO. First opportunity this year in centre and was playing when clearly not fit.

While I am not one for spurting man juice all over him, you are the complete opposite with smith. He could win man of the match in a grand final and you would still call it average

Thanks anyway, but was deliberate mistake relating to a Long, Long, Long, Long, Long smith threat we had a while ago.

No the MoM in the GF was a good performance and well deserved! That is not, nor has never been, my point.

I just think that he, in general, is average. Being average doesn't mean that he can't have occasional stand out, excellent performances, which he has clearly had and top marks to him for it. My golf would be described as average, but I once got round in par!

Anyway, let's please not get into that again.
