and wtf with Manu!?? something just isn't right - he's been an absolute professional and respected club man and then this happens?? get the sense that more ugly stuff is coming before we see any resolution around club culture.</p></blockquote>

<p>Shame we lost Hiku, although Nepia will be happy?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't understand Beale with Hoffman, Perrett, Rona or Rapana much better options. I won't be surprised to see Takarangi playing at centre instead of Beale tbh, even if SKD passes his fitness test.</p>

<p>I'm currently dancing a jig. Although, the only other time he's been good was in last years ANZAC test.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And agree about not understanding Beale with the other options available.</p> -

<p>You get a medical leave! And you get a medical leave! AND you get a medical leave!</p>

<p>Wtf?</p> -
If the Warriors were a farm animal, they'd have been put down by now and their owners sent to jail for mistreating an animal.<br><br>
Although I'm not sure it's the owners, farm managers nor the farm hands fault if the animal decides to bust through the fence to gorge on the fodder beet crop, end up with acidosis and having to be shot. Then again, if the farm owner or manager has seen the fence needs repairing but does nothing about it until it's too late, who's fault is it then? Or if the manager has given the farm hand the tools to fix it, but not taught him how to use them, then sent him to 'sort that bloody fence out before the cattle get through', but the farm hand decides bugger it, it's Friday, it can wait till after the weekend coz he's in hurry to get on the Cody's with his mates and shag the local town bike.<br><br>
Who ever is at fault, its the animal who ends up dead.<br>
The farm hand is most likely out of a job because of it. <br>
If animals keep dying, the farm manager will eventually end up in the dole queue too. <br>
Then all that's left is the farm owner with dead fucking animals everywhere and no staff.<br><br>
Moral of the story?<br><br>
Fucked if I know, except the whole situation is one hell of a mess and doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense. -
<p>Now Elliot is getting in on the action. Guess it's something he might have noted but I'm always a bit skeptical about coaches who were let go (for being shit) then saying 'yeah I reckon X and Y was going on' etc etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then again he does come across as a pretty fair individual so maybe it's not just point scoring. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wonder how long Manu will be on leave for and what the story will be when he returns. Heard on the radio that Hurrell is still denying he took pills and energy drinks and Watto (forgive me, I tuned in by accident!) said he'd heard different through his sources,. If true Hurrell should be out on his ass. Guess he's finally twigged how close he is to getting the arse?</p> -

<p>would seem odd for Hurrell to deny it if he did given all the others fronted up...take it on the chin as all the others have as a collective, now, more is being made of his side, especially if it turns out he lied.</p> -
<p>I reckon Hurrell was on his last warning and fessing up might have seen him looking for a new club. But being found out lying about it would achieve the same thing aye!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>SammyC, wouldn't be surprised if this was the case - it'd be shit to nark on your mate. But I wonder about repercussions for the other 5 if it turns out they were covering for Hurrell... </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just a mess aye, the NRL just staggers from one car crash to another</p> -

<p>Shaun Kenny Dowell now out of the test match....fml. Picking that Alex Glenn will be playing at centre. Kearney has made some odd selections, and I know some of it will be that clubs are not releasing players, but this should have been the line up for tomorrow (taking into account all the injuries):</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. Hoffman</p>
<p>2. DWZ</p>
<p>3. Perrett</p>
<p>4. Kahu </p>
<p>5. Nightingale </p>
<p>6. Nikorima</p>
<p>7. Johnson</p>
<p>8. Bromwich (c)</p>
<p>9. Luke</p>
<p>10. Blair</p>
<p>11. Proctor </p>
<p>12. Harris</p>
<p>13. Taumalolo</p>
<p>Bench: 14. Brown 15. Taupau 16. Eastwood 17. Ma'u 18th man: Moa</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(out injured: RTS, SKD, Hiku, Leuluai, Whare, Mannering, Foran)</p> -
<p>Backs look a bit ordinary. I really wish Matulino was there, our pack would look unreal (it still looks pretty good to be fair)</p>
