Strange decision leaving out Heremaia,No mention of him been injured

Some people will tell you consistency in the halves isn't important

Crazy decision to leave out heremaia unless he's injured. He didn't have a great game against hudds but surely should be on the bench as he's one of the few players in the squad who can come on and turn a game. Plus if the bin man is injured and they go with horne at centre and whiting on the wing it will surely be the slowest 3/4 line in the history of SL. Absolutely no strike power out wide

Think Horne been included is cover for if miller gets peppered in D..

Why ?

Although colbon is a half decent squad member..I just think whiting would handle the pressure a little better..I thinlk they will try & terrorize colbon..they will see him as our week link. Imo. Hope yeamo & tuson keep the defence tight around miller also.

Fair point .

Has Horne been preferred to Azza for injury reasons . Or is it that Horne gets the nod on birthright ?

Looks like the case

If it is not for injury reasons then Radford needs his head testing !!

Or Horne isn't actually fit and heremaia is drafted in on game day...

I'm a big fan of Heremaia, but his form has been noticeably down this year. That said I'd be shocked if he's not out through injury, puts a lot on Houghton's shoulders. Horne can fill a hole if he needs a breather, but he isn't a hooker.

Heremaia dropped to make room for his mate Horne.
Ridiculous decision has to be an injury.

Thats why I think Horne will start with Rankin on the bench

Could those who clearly know about these things please provide me with a list of those who are Radford's mates and those who aren't. Just for future reference. Thanks in anticipation.
