Here’s a question ,after watching Reiko I just don’t think his form is good enough to be on the plane to Japan .do we look somewhere else ...like Ennor ..
He was totally anonymous. Was Akira playing?
-
@canefan I was very serious when I asked that question...?,
I just don’t think his form warrants a place in the squad, given you have other options that are in form..he might have been the best player in the world , but he’s miles away from where he needs to be..I think Ennor or Havilli would be better options..I am going to watch Naholo with interest tomorrow.. -

I think they will take him, but his form is a disappointment

I saw nothing in Ennor that suggests selection. It's no good breaking the line if your option taking once you've done it is bad.

Harsh to judge a wingers form on that game, the passing along the backline at times was comical.
He was crucial in defence on several occasions, pretty much the much the only pleasing aspect of the game. That and Daltons superb work at the breakdown.
Was good to win while playing that badly. With the running the ball behind the goal line it looked like the team didnt think much of BOP.
We are missing Plummer’s calmness and game management hugely.

Big work-on for Rieko is to go looking for work. Don't know if his declining work rate is related to conditioning......

@Chester-Draws ..if your quite happy with a guy who looks out of form ,work rate and conditioning , then so be it..Both Bridge and Reece showed what the expectations are on the same ground 7 days ago .

Reiko would have looked a million dollars at the end of that forward effort as well. He showed today that his pace is still there, looked like he was jogging but ran in 50m with ease.
The Ioanes get so much undeserved shit here. It’s amusing at least.

Ennor hardly shone last night either.
We just have to hope Rieko flicks the switch in Japan.
That's because Ennor hardly got the ball, not because of the way he played.
But having said that, they're really not going to drop Rieko. Maybe he'll end up on the bench though, with Bridge getting the start.
-
@Kirwan didn’t realise they were protected species , there’s plenty of players not just the Ioane brothers that take a bit of stick on this forum...any sort of comments is even more exaggerated because both of these brothers are talented..but it’s obvious to anyone that work ethic lets them down..that’s constructive criticism..

He made early breaks. Only to squander them.
In any case, the same could be said for Ioane.

I'm not happy with him. I'm unconvinced Ennor has shown anything better recently.
And if we're looking at old form, then he's never going to beat Ioane.

A good example here. Both players top stats for attacking and defensive play and get tagged with work ethic slur.
