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

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.
