Wait I thought Moa got off with an early plea? Also very interesting decision to drop Liu to the bench
When we get Tomkins back and can shift Lolohea to Wright's wing that backline is looking pretty sweet.
Nah, all I said was he could be a good signing. Hardly his "biggest fan". He was cheap as chips and has done a serviceable job on the wing to cover injury. He played alright in the weekend actually.
I thought the down side would be Copley might move out of the side. Not sure the relevance to Maranta and Hodges. Maranta has been safe at fullback. Pity Reed doesn't make way instead of Copley. edit: urggh...Copley on the wing. He's a much better centre than Reed. Should swap them round, if Reed has to stay in the side.
