As for craig hall, call ne cynical but it wud not suprise me if he feigned injury so he cud go off after tsai ran over him 4 times

In all fairness his injury looked genuine but as you say his defence let him down a couple of times.
The guy made his name on the wing for HKR and that's were I would play him if fit.

Couldn't make it today, how did Bill Tupou look?

Went well, some strong running and tackling - should be a good acquisition and his handling was very good in damp conditions. He won't be the kind of centre who slips neat passes to his winger ala Collis, but he'll go well for us.

Credit to wakey for having a go and never giving it up, at 28-12 we should have put you to the sword but you showed good spirit to come back
However I thought it was a poor half arsed effort from us and on another day could have slipped up

Credit to the fans that came, well the ones that kept their fists down, got behind the team well

I was impressed by him,big lad and run it in well,some more game time,will be a handful.

Begs the question - which Wakey will turn up in the middle 8s?

The side that loses by 10, or the side that loses by 50.

There were signs of both today.

So , with all the comings and goings. I think my team for the 8s would look something like this.

Locke
Lyne
Tupou
L Smith
Johnstone
Godinet
Miller
Mullally
Moore
Anderson
Ashurst
Lauititi
Simon

Subs
Sio
Molloy
Scruton
Walker

lots of competition for the forwards, and finally a bit of backup in the backs. if Locke does not make it I would go with L Smith at FB and Arundel in the centre.

what would your team be?
