George Bridge at centre?

George Bridge at centre?

Yeah, his third start in a row at centre. He's not going that well.

He kicked away great attacking ball twice last week with no one chasing.

To this day I cannot fathom how the hell he got picked ahead of Reiko Ioane in 2019. My mind boggles.

Haha because he can't run anymore, he now has to resort to the boot.

Moana have to win this if they want to go anywhere in this years comp. Sitting 2-1 after 3 games gives them a strong platform to pust for finals footy.

I’ve got Patrick, Ngani and Miracle in my Fantasy side this week. Come on Moana.

Hopefully Bridge disrespects Ngani’s name so he fires up.

SouthernMann

I have gone really rogue and made Ekuasi my captain. No wonder I'm right down the bottom of the ladder

And subbed Donaldson for Pellegrini after hearing he didn't start

Gotta say I’m not fan of Paul Williams

A lot more pedantic than what we’ve seen from other refs in the first couple of rounds.

Ekuasi looks huge

Eventually Parsons will reach a bit too far, when striving to sound emphatic, and call the ball the "nut".

Canes4life

The biggest pain in rugby is when a hooker can’t throw. The Moana hooker is horrible.

Shame you can’t pick a ref in your fantasy team as a joker

Canes4life

Unfortunately number 14 Samoa doesn’t look to be up to this level. He looks to really be struggling to keep up and he’s now dropped a sitter. Poor skill set.

SouthernMann

The playing surface looks well short of what you'd expect of this level

Torian

Bridge that was exceptionally him lol

Miracle Faiilagi been very quiet very quiet in the first 40

There was a concert a few weeks ago.. They should have put new turf in.
