From his own words Veainu doesn't sound ready for the Bears game

Re: Telusa Veainu
He may be on the bench still.
Blommetjies performance will certainly help us in the back 3 anyway.

Who would you play 15 RB? I'm not a fan of Owen so would prefer to play both Matt's in MF.

Harrison, Ford, Olowefela, Toomua, Smith, May, Blommetjies
White, Owen, Veianu on the bench

Re: Telusa Veainu
If the rumours are true and Harrison is leaving in December then I wouldn't start him over White or Simmons

That is next season...need to get safe this season so Sam is still the starter for me.Jimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 7:01 pm If the rumours are true and Harrison is leaving in December then I wouldn't start him over White or Simmons

Re: Telusa Veainu
If I thought Sam would be that big a step up yes but I don't think he is, lets not forget White has played very well this season including in Europe.Tigerbeat wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 7:14 pmThat is next season...need to get safe this season so Sam is still the starter for me.Jimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 7:01 pm If the rumours are true and Harrison is leaving in December then I wouldn't start him over White or Simmons
if we have a reasonably close option then anyone leaving should be sat in the stands for me, they may think they are totally committed but they simply cannot be
Re: Telusa Veainu
In some cases maybe but in Harrisons no way, absolutely not!! Look at his performance v Saints,highest tackle count and our only nuisance at the breakdown. If only other players cared like he did then maybe we wouldn't be in this mess!!

Re: Telusa Veainu
The rumours on Sam Harrison leaving in December is news to me. Seems odd, why December rather than end of the season? Where is he rumoured to be going to?Jimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 7:01 pm If the rumours are true and Harrison is leaving in December then I wouldn't start him over White or Simmons

Re: Telusa Veainu
All I've heard is Australia but no club. Is he actually thinking of quitting playing and just moving to Oz? I know he's a keen surfer

Re: Telusa Veainu
He was waiting for kids to grow up a bit last time I heard the rumour he was leaving - was staying another 12 months or so when he last extended his contract.
