Surely he knows he has untill Katoa is back to prove himself and get another contract next year, either here or another club.

That's if he's first choice. I assume he'll be chosen over Hiroti

I'd give Hiroti another chance. He's young and apparently killed it all off season.

Haven't seen a single good thing from Nene in Sharks colours. Expect more from someone who's played almost 100 games of first grade.

I think the criticism of Hiroti after the Saints game was a bit over the top. I think he's OK in the centres, dunno about on a wing though.

Anyone taken much notice of Iro in the lower grades?

Iro has been playing centre for the Jets the last few weeks. Which is interesting as Jensen is in the top 30 but playing Flegg. Must be a development thing or maybe Iro is just ahead of Jensen atm. Didn't actually think Iro was a centre, more a winger.

Agree, had really high hopes for Nene, always liked him. But Hiroti for mine too.

I was surprised Hiroti didn't get another chance on the weekend. I'd have thought Bomber would have given him a opportunity to redeem himself after hooking him week before, which I think was as much to get Tracey on as it was to get Hiroti off.
For that reason we could see Nene.

I held faith in Hiroti for a while as he has done some good stuff but it's just about dried up now.
Nene on the other hand has fallen over the line a few times but his handling in particular has been diabolical, so I've got no confidence in him either.

Signed to Norths Devils for rest of season. Not sure what that means regarding contract with us

When we signed him i thought he'd play way more than 2 games for us. Bit of a dud he turned out to be. Maybe in hindsight should have given a rookie few games, wouldn't have played much worse.

I have archived the Nene Macdonald thread to "Past Players".
