Why the hell are we playing a 3rd choice hooker in the centre for todays game. I just don't get it. All week we have been promoting the debut of Rickett and now he's not even in the squad. I hope I am proved wrong today but I think this is a move to regret.

Very puzzling, he looks completely lost!

Bafflubg decision. Mind you with Macani again trying his hardest to avoid being involved in a tackle it doesn't matter who you put there. How he gets a a shirt is the biggest mystery

Also why is Lumb sat twiddling his thumbs when we have mo hooker?

Totally agree, Caro sat in the stand today. Whilst he is not the best winger around he is far better than Macani. Caro is a proven finisher who not so long ago was the fastest player in British RL. Whilst his defence is not the best at least he runs forwards not sideways.

Don't know who is coaching this lot either officially or unofficially. I hope Toovey does not have any input because if he did we should try to get a refund on his visa

Is Caro injured?

Toovey was definitely coaching today. He was yelling instructions (from the box above the halfway line) to Beattie all game.Also doing a lot of swearing & table banging, not very constructive at all

Putting Halafihi at centre reminda me of the farce of last year. Coach rather put Matty Blythe on the wing who leoved useless as seemed too afraid to throw a young player in. Eventually gave the young player called Ethan Ryan a go who ended up been on of our best players. Im sure Josh Rickett would have gone just fine. Certainly better than Macani.

Ricketts was injured yesterday in training, that's why he didn't play. That's from the bcb interview/apology Mick did with Beattie after the game. He sounds like a defeated man as well.

Apologies fair enough!

Can't say I'm exactly surprised at comments about Halafihi as he's been everyone's 'get at player' for ages. I do think he deserves a little slack though.

Faint praise it may be, but he was no worse than others who have trained this season with the squad and have played together in the first team before and were playing in their usual positions. We clearly have no confidence at all and were dire. Vila wasn't, by any means, the least effective player on the field though.
