Good chance off the bench maybe? Will he be thrown into the fire against a team like the Chiefs as a starter...? Unlikely in my view.
Cyclone could be hitting Perth in the next day or 2. The forecast isn't looking good for this one.

Gibbes is a man of his world lol, he said he would give Jacomb many opportunities this season which he has
Parker needs a big game, as he is lucky to be starting. Fiti Sa to finally make his debut.

Quite a few teams will be after Fita Sa's signature for next year
Fiti Sa does seem injury-prone, going back to his U20 days. Jayden has also had some injuries in the last 12 months.

Yep both Sa brothers seem to have had a few injuries and missed a lot of games for the Naki over last couple of years.

Fiti will be an All Black if he can get his body right. Has all the attributes to be a great lock/6
He'd be a very big 6 wouldn't he? About 2.03 m tall and over 125kg?
Off to the game now, stopped raining which is a bonus, but very overcast and a cold day by Perth's standards. Go the Force!
@African-Monkey yeah but you can get to Bali.
@Landers92 Maloney is bad anyway but yeah I did notice that too
@antipodean said in Western Force v Chiefs:
How poor is Jacomb's kicking for touch? Absolutely no distance.
Used to be decent but did he make the ABs last year? Pop gun is all the rage.
@Canes4life cant recall a super rugby comp having so many basic errors
@Landers92 overworked and underpaid
@Landers92 said in Western Force v Chiefs:
Seriously his voice is breaking….. lol. Get him off
Thought it was the audio on my feed - can't help laughing.
@Landers92 said in Western Force v Chiefs:
Thank fuck he’s gone now
Livened up a dull game. Proper job.
@Canes4life said in Western Force v Chiefs:
Is that a first? We’ve seen players and refs get replaced, but a commentator, that’s unique.
Just need it to be Justin Marshall that it happens to next

At least he made sense. Imagine Scott Hansen.
@Landers92 Yeah, that was a nicely timed run.
