Hurricanes v Chiefs

@stargazer certainly wouldn't be averse to seeing Laumape/Crotty. Thompson into 13 when Crotty gets injured.

Just out of curiosity. Why is Nathan Harris an AB but Ricky R not?

No Quarter

@no-quarter said in Hurricanes v Chiefs:

Laumape has to be odds on for the AB 12 jumper at this stage. He's playing accurate footy and he's a fucking wrecking ball.

It will be interesting to see where they'll go with the midfield. Crotty will be in if fit; the question is in which position and who will be the other midfielder.

I'd expect Crotty to be at 13 with Goodhue next in line. We're looking pretty strong in the midfield at the moment with ALB and Thompson there as well.

@dingo Riccitelli only just starting to find shades of his first season form. Harris has actually been decent for the ABs.

Stargazer

@dingo Because they've always shown loyalty to people who have already been capped, and are afraid of dropping people. It took them ages to drop the Bus.

I don't think Thompson is even in consideration, because both Rieko and BFA can cover 13 as well.

No Quarter

Chiefs player ran into his own man impeding defenders and Nutbrown... just wasn't watching?

Nicely worked by the Cheifs, stick your tackles Fatialofa!

I've been impressed with Laumape's defensive reads tonight

Yeah, but what if Coles isn't coming back. Who do you think the brains trust think they can get more out of?

Thats a bold call to say Rob Thomas isnt in consideration. Whens the last time BFA actually covered centre?

@dingo I'd go with Aumua....

I still think there's greater upside to Harris.

Laumape's been impressive in practically every aspect.

I can't see Canes dropping Lam for Bus for the rest of the season

Which I suspect worries all of us.

I don't think they'll bring in many new players. Lam might be an exception.

Alaimalo might have an age advantage over Lam I guess....

Really? Why's that? I'm not worried...

@bones That's probably the only thing he has on Lam.
