McFadden has never been one of Hurrell's biggest fans tbh. 6 new faces there. Positional switch for Johnson with Robson at 7. SJ probably more suited to 6 anyway, (not that there is much difference between the two positions these days.) 19 year old Roache gets a bench spot after his impressive Nines. There was talk of playing Lolohea in the centres and Kata on the wing but I think Kata is more suited to centre than wing. I am surprised that Ben Henry got a start ahead of Bodene Thompson though tbh
I read something the other day that he wouldn't stop walking around with his shirt off because of how fit he is.
Johnson is just wearing the correct jersey finally he's got the organisational skills of a kid with ADHD
Will be interesting to see how James Gavet goes tbh. He has been given a lifeline at the Warriors to resurrect his career.
Bumped into Willy Mason at the airport in Tonga actually. Big lad. If he played for NZ like he should have, (instead of Aus), I might have even asked him for a selfie
Kick off, penalty, kick not out, penalty, taken out on first tackle. Thats got to be the worst start to a game in a while
Lol great start. 2 penalties, a missed kick for touch, and taken into touch all inside the first 90 seconds.
