Nrl physio was a little wary on Sifa in his podcast. Said its not unusual for players who suffer that mechanism of injury to play out the game, say they are sweet then return a moderate to high grade scan. Doesn't mean he will, and I'd be more inclined to the positive but will he interesting to see if he's named today.

You’d have to think he and Ronnie are both named and they give them both until Thursday. Just name some coverage in the 22.

I reckon he'll be named but obviously that doesn't mean he'll play.

Hopefully both right to play but at least if we do need to throw Iro and/or Hiroti in it will be our left which matches up to their less dynamic side
Preston/Hutch/Kiraz/Wilson - still plenty strong enough to do damage if we let them.
Could see Kiraz shift to left wing (JAC) and Xerri come in at right centre, which would be even better for our match ups

Sifa seems to have the ability to reserve the affects of injury to when he's not involved in the play. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before

Sifa's kick to Ronnie for the try looked questionable. Maybe he kicked it, maybe it touched the ground first but it prob got to his foot first and is just camera/replay playing visual tricks

Maybe bunker wasn't sure but they didn't say that cause then they would announce it sticking with refs call (benefit of doubt)

Ronnies part was fine

Didn't think hugely of Sifa's game on live viewing but watching back some highlights he had some good moments with the ball (3 line break assists for instance) and checking his stats he was strong.

Him and Ronnie are working so well together.

I’d say he dropped it with intention to kick so it can touch ground first
I was worried it touched opposition foot first

I was wondering how many folks on the forums noggins were processing the discussion about intent to kick the other day ha

But touching the ground, that's only for a drop kick / field goal attempt I'm pretty sure but also pretty sure you are being sarcastic and just taking the piss

Anyways Ronnie also kicked it (which cancels out the previous kick even if it touched the ground) so play on

Nah you can drop kick a ball anytime you like

And I would never be sarcastic or take the piss

Have you tried getting changed in a phone booth? What a nightmare - no space to move!

And at his age!
