No Kikau. The bombed Hayne Plane still trying to lift off the runway…

Interesting that Marky Mark named for Fiji, does that mean he was given the heads up he wasn't in the frame for the Kangaroos?

A least they will pronounce his name correctly

Which one Marky or Mark.

 

[Fjdiehard]

Who woulda thought the Hayne plane will be playing international footy again?!

He played like 3 games in Ron Masey cup and is overweight. Really don't understand why he is being selected

 

[DieHardManlyFan]

Kobe to lock and navale as middle forward on bench I’d assume. Surely they don’t have Jake at lock again next year.

Who cares, we’re all going to die anyway 🫠 Siebold has a special way of making simple things look difficult

To be fair it is a 30 man squad for two games so they can carry him....I will be interested how much game time he would get

Last I saw of Hayne I assume he’ll be starting at prop for Fiji

Let's just hope he's trimmed his fingernails. Otherwise somebody could end up with a very nasty injury.

3 games if i am correct... because there is no relegation or promotion this year,so the top two will play in the bowl final which i think is kind of stupid. Hopefully hayne does coaching and not play unless his body is right.

Yep. Looked plumpy and slow

In fact i saw him not long ago at Woolies in Forster. He looked pretty good to me. He's actually a lot taller than i would have thought.

 

[Fjdiehard]

Just in case someones interested

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Good performance yet again by the young man.

 

[Cliffycomeback]

I think he will play a bigger role for us moving forward. Kobe, Davvy and Caleb make our pack look so much better.

Navale started at lock and moved to hooker later in the game before switching back. He played for 80minutes

That cant be right.

I've been reliably informed by the experts on here that he has no motor.

Navale going from an 80 minute player last year to starting on the bench in NSW cup certainly suggests there was a lack of fitness. Wether it was a poor pre season or some niggling minor injuries that hampered him can be speculated.

Regardless, he worked his ass off throughout the season & proved he can play big minutes. Hopefully he has a big off season & is in contention for top grade from round 1 as he certainly adds something to the team

To be fair, he was only playing the Cook Islands
