Not that I know of. He has been playing particularly poorly though. Either way, Berrigan in the centres and Mateo at five-eighth are terrible decisions.
Wow, was not expecting those sorts of changes from Cleary at all. Feleti Mateo at 5/8th is stupid though.
Interesting that he's been dropped completely off the 17, even if he's out of form. He's completely changed the team around!
It's a team you'd expect a frustrated fan to name after yet another hiding, not a bloody coach. Way to many changes imo.
Hmm, you reckon Fisiiahi will actually play fullback? Good chance that Locke could go to fullback. And am I reading this right? Kingston is playing halfback for the Panthers?
lolo @ Penruff.. Double lol at Warrioz but will hold off until we play them, gave us a bloody good chance now and can really have no excuses shall we not get the two points.
