Its a forum for tittle tattle, rumour and wild guess work. Its not the Old Bailey.

But there are some very in the know posters on here and there is usually a grain of truth in the stories.

Our superstar forward hasnt been in the squad for the last 2 games. I wonder why?

Some right fat lips on show here. Don't start crying he hasn't been anything short of magnificent for us over many years, because he has. Never ever has had a bad game and when all our other so called props were flat on their backsides, he was single handedly carrying us on his back at times.

Good luck to the man, whatever happened since Powell took over he has never given short of 100% no matter the boneheads in charge. Imagine giving 100% when you see Asotasi as your replacement from the bench? Lol. You can all hope we 'silence' him but I think we all know he'll tear us a new one regardless.

Crap utter BS

I have and cannot go in to detail. but Mike did not want to leave, Powell told him he wasn't wanted in 2023, as soon as he came.
He has been left out of todays team, because Powell doesn't want to change a winning team.

Talking a load of faeces.

The trouble is that some sad cases believe almost everything they read and worse still pass it on as fact. Very unfair on the club. It does not help Wire or the game. Pathetic really.

It can be unfair on others too.

I don't know why he hasn't played, that is why I made the comment.
I know it is a forum, I have made the same point myself. Its somewhere we can exchange views. Is a pity some people try to close down those who they don't agree with.

He was in Australia when asotasi was playing for us, but im sure you thought this through before pressing send

Also, he was pretty ropey for all of 2017, his first season back.

No it isn’t.

I'm minded to agree. Based on last week's performance, who would you drop to make way for Cooper? Cooper may have been the most consistent prop this year but last week's result was a team effort from 1 -17. Dropping someone after that probably sends the wrong message and, given the expected temperatures this weekend, I expect that Walker will be the only change rather than play an additional prop.

Normally I am an advocate of an extra forward who can do a short stint at hooker, but with the hot conditions, Walker against tired opposition forwards could be good.

I guess it's between Davis and Walker

Ratch
Thewlis/Wrench
Matautia
Wardle
Ashton
Williams
Dean
Mulhern
Clark
Harrison
Currie
Nicholson
Clark

Strachan
Bullock
Holmes
Davis/Walker

My deepest apologies. I guess I should have put 'the likes of' instead. Lets swap Asotasi for Akouala then for the pedantic among us.
