Coombes-Fabling, if the team list is correct.
Just because he's in 22? I'd prefer AS or CGB.
No, because he was a 1st 5.
Brown could think outside the box. Dawai is back from the cold.

@antipodean could be saving O’Keefe for semis and final
Can't run around for 80 mins three weeks in a row? That sort of thinking is how we get Wayne Barnes in 2007.
More like giving all the refs a final I would guess.
Again: This should be a meritocracy, not an opportunity for the work experience kid
Mate they do it in WCs, so guessing it's ok for super if that is reason, I only guessing. What worries me most is maybe because they think Canes are not going to progress so O'Keefe will be able to do either game lol.

Read that Leni Apisai, Frizell will be on the highlanders bench but there's no first five cover so if Banks curls over idk what happens😟Bryce Heem is on the wing for the 13 in a row Blues
is koroi injured? i thought he looked like he was settling in after the missed conversion
-
@Kiwiwomble Koroi's been fit all season & presumably still is? Tony's backline selections have been a rabble this season, Dawai is in & out the team like a yoyo, initial contracted squad members aftermentioned Koroi & punivai ect been watching on as Van guht & coombes fabling came in, I just hope the next coach can make things feel more settled
-
@FakatavaFuture yeah, dawai had a very rough start but thought he looked much better the couple of times hes played since
I'm a huge Browny fan...but think he's proving he's an assistant/attack/backs coach and not a right for the big job
