Reminds me of Willie Masons comments on meeting Des re joining the Dogs--

“I met Des in Darling Harbour (in Sydney) and we had a coffee and started talking about football and life in general. Then he just, bang, put out this big book with stats on everything. On everything. From f***ing day dot,” Mason said on his Skipi TV show Unfiltered.

“In his eyes, I don’t know if they are twisted or football has just got to him but Aiden Tolman was the best prop in the game. But to me, no disrespect to Aiden, (but) I was 35 and I’d still dust him up.

“In my eyes I’m like, ‘No, Sam Burgess (was the best), or George Burgess at that time’ — they were killing it. I said, ‘Do you ever go by the eye test Des and look at what he brings and what sort of emotion and physical presence, and how much drive he has on the field and how much he can get people going with him, and the leadership skills, instead of finding your front on the play the ball, tackling 45 times?’

“There’s a reason why you tackle 45 times if you’re a front-rower — because you’re a spot player. I don’t get run at 50 times a game because I’d hope to think that I can actually tackle all right.”

Honestly I don’t think it matters. If he was bad enough for me to notice in cup games I think he’s gonna be in trouble.
I pity anyone who listens to my opinion but if you’re that silly don’t jump in and give it a week

He will be up against none other than Talakai. And yes, he's a woeful defender in Q Cup. That's why I cannot see him playing 80 this week. He didn't force himself into the side, he's literally the last option.

So you're saying trade in Talakai instead?

Holzman wrote:sounds crazy but is there merit in starting Tommy T?

As it stands im playing Alamoti and one of Kodi/Granville/Oloapu

If I moved Alamoti to Luki then im forced to play Tommy T

but then it Tommy T + Luki instead of Alamoti + Kodi.

The other move is just trade Miller to Drinky and then its Drinky + Alamoti

Won't he be out on the wing with Tesi at centre?

That's a yes to Talakai.

Sorry, the point I was trying to make with the blue comment, is that currently he has zero tries or TA's when playing with Ponga.
I wouldn't expect that to stay at zero (i.e. at some point he has some try involvement, surely!?)
