Updated injury thread

Totally agree Cock. I prefer him on the right cos for some reason when he plays on the left Anasta always gets him to run the under line and he ends up just going sideways to centre field. Cos it's got a bit of acceleration and footwork he can get outside his opposite second rower and is too big for the centre to cut off the offload. He really does have a lot of competition in the backrow. On form Guerra and Aubs are ahead of him but I get the feeling that Smith would give him a spot over Guerra.

If any of Tasi, Kennedy or Masoe are unavailable for round 1 I'd take Taka where I could. He really needs to be in the team somewhere.

With the amount of game time he had the only footage would be of him having his jaw or shoulder smashed.

No footage but he played scarcely a few games for us. As far as his stepping was concerned, he'd take the ball to the line and the line would retreat from his forays. To this day Iv'e never seen a defense backing away as they did with Papworth,I still wonder if it was a ploy by opposition players to encircle him, though I still believe the reason was that nobody wanted the embarrassment of missing him, let some-one else have a go.
