I think it includes a handful of kids from the extensive fringes of their squad. But they do have a lot of experienced, more recognisable players OOC as well.

Yes, the list is:

Adam Swift, Ligi Sao, Danny Houghton, Chris Satae, Andre Savelio, Brad Fash, Joe Lovodua, Joe Cator, Kane Evans, Cam Scott (one-year option), Ben McNamara, Connor Wynne (one-year option), Mitieli Vulikijapani (one-year option), Josh Griffin, Denive Balmforth, Jamie Shaul, Scott Taylor, Brad Dwyer, Kye Armstrong, Jude Ferreira.

Couldn't be bothered to watch the game today. 1st half sounded abysmal reading stuff online.

Can't see where the next win is coming from to be honest.

Think we need some signings to come in ASAP. Something needs to change. If Wakey get an upturn in form we're stuffed

I completely agree, and while I'll be there Good Friday, it could be our bleakest day since the 42-6 Cooke inspired Rovers hammering of us. We just look half hearted, hardly fit and with no playbook. I know that it is hard to be up for a job knowing you are getting fired but no sportsman I have ever known has ever not played for their own pride. This team are not top six material, we all knew that and that it would be a hard year, but I never imagined it would be this bad. I just hope they can have an honest review and own their pathetic displays with a view to actually trying against Rovers. That is all we have asked of them and what they owe themselves and the fans.

I had hoped we'd have kept Sao and Satae, both have been our best forwards for the last two seasons, but Ligi isn't showing anything and big Chris has been a shadow of what he was , even when we were getting hammered, he was a standout. Motu Tony has offered to help the club and I seriously hope we take him up on that offer, he signed some great players for us when he was the Football Manager and he will know some young guns that would jump at a chance to showcase their skill in SL.I thought Balmforth would have been given a shot, Danny Houghton is clearly a year too old and I hope we have Mitch on the wing against Rovers , as McIntosh needs taking out of the pressure for a while to help him regain his confidence, poor kid looks lost some times and it cannot be good for him, mentally, to be always called out.If Wynne has sorted his issues out, I'd keep him for a year but of the rest, Andre Savelio and Dwyer would be the only ones worth a punt, in my opinion.

Mcintosh hasn't been selected for the past 3 games. He's played for the reserves last couple of outings. That's his level imo.

How we need an Ellis type of player right now to lead from the front . Someone to inspire those around him .

+1 on the criticism Hoy is getting. Turnstile Tex is doing just fine, and long may it continue. Gutted that he’s out next week, I suspect tactical after seeing abdulls kicks Friday night.

Hoy is safe under a high ball

I’m sure Hoy’s played against plenty of players who can kick a ball dead high & hope for the best.
