We are too small in the middle. Mago slaughtered us for 20 minutes, as did Watts and Westerman.
So.
Arona. Past his sell by date but been great for us.
Fifita. Probably out for quite a while but fits the ticket in many ways, inspirational.
Toupou. Crocked and out till when?
Lino. To me, he’s not the Messiah but won’t be going anywhere I would imagine.
Whitbread. Why is he here? What is the point, no different to our own lads in size and ability.
Miller. Still got plenty to offer hopefully.
Tanginoa. Something drastically wrong here. Is in a shadowland.
(Hood on loan somewhere please, I am faster at 71)
If we could move one on, we could have a punt on a Mago type fringe NRL player. We’ve done it before but I think we need two. Would have thought most championship players tied up now and wouldn’t fancy the risk.
Some years ago, I remember MC stating any players wanting out, just pop in his office. Some did. Why not ask again?
Wiggin must be pooping themselves.
To go back to the original post and the title ie. Quota spots then I'd say:
Miller, Lino, Fifita and Arona all deserve their spots
Tanginoa - I feel should be doing a lot more and we've seen it so you have to ask what has gone wrong
Tupou - A great player for us but I do feel that we should be looking to negotiate a pay-off with him now
Whitbread - So far he has completely failed to impress me at all. I'd rather we played Aydin
