LJ not considered. He’s not injured, but I wonder whether he’s at the match fitness levels yet?
Begs the question why the fuck he is in the squad for TRC?
Taking up a spot that could go to another loosie
The likes of Lio Willie and Papalii must be thinking wtf
Soooo are these guys in consideration at all for the EOYT? Or are we just gonna see the same guys rolled out over and over?

My feeling is the coaching team were unhappy with the results and thought it must be some of those guys without realising it was their shite coaching all along.
Are the results getting better? If they lose this weekend then they go from marginally better to no better than last year. Basically two years of no progress. I mean you can argue that this weekends results is meaningless given the Wallabies have Gordon and Edmed starting in the halves. It's virtually impossible for the AB's to lose with those two there.

But I'll settle for 2nd place.
You can have second place in Saturday's game. Now don't say I'm not generous...

If Scooter is playing injured, I'll be driven to the drink. Early.
If we lose, I'll be driven to the drink.
If we win, I'll be drinking, but only because it would be rude not to. -

After Canterbury win the NPC, there will be at least 5 players joining the AB squad for the EOYT. You heard it here first.

The myth of DMac might repost it now on Facebook.

@jimmyb most of the problems stem from a 1st five that doesn’t run and shit kicks the ball away - the defence can ignore him. And Jordie for all his strengths offers no footwork - so just a straight runner. Proctor hasn’t been terrible but probably hasn’t met expectations. Hopefully Tupaea goes well but he be bombed a try last week by cutting in when the draw and pass was a certainty.
I think the real problem is that Holland has done nothing with this backline. We still see BB cross kicking front foot ball away inside the 22 on a penalty advantage vs Australia, and chip kicking the ball away from inside our 22 in the last 20 minutes against SA - and that worked, not. I would look inside not out for changes. Hopefully Damien plays well.

Lakai at least hit some rucks and tackled with intent last week. Sititi has been extremely poor in that regard this season.
Bit of a mystery how passive he has been after his breakout season last year

Is it Holland or Hansen? I thought Holland was more in charge of strike plays while Hansen has responsibility for the inside backs, and obviously the love affair with BB. Both should be criticised.

Sititi reminds me a bit of Andrew Blowers. Looks an absolutely supreme athlete who suffered massive second year syndrome. Let’s hope he can sort it.

Had great footwork before contact last year, which I think caught some of our opposition off guard.
They seem to be eating him up this year...the opposite of Leroy Carter.
Sititi looks like Tarzan and playing like Jane in 2025.
