13 For Saturday? Injury Update

[Rossm]

Know he’s on the edge and has got away with a few where a shot has ridden up or hit the ball first but does anyone have any stats on how many cards Fekitoa has actually got?

I think a lot of Mala's hits look a lot worse, particularly in slo mo, than they actually are. Someone copping one of his specials is always going to be slow getting up thus making the ref take a second look.

For me, Spink is better with ball in hand and link-up play.
I think he's got a more intelligent rugby brain.

I really like Fekitoa and the passion he brings, I just find he stunts our creativity a little bit.
Rather than creating holes with footwork and passing...he tends to try to bosh through, when a bit more subtlety could open the door for players around him.

I'm not too fussed either way....but I think with Fekitoa leaving next season, this would be a great opportunity to reward Spink for this commitment and give him much-needed big game experience.
It will definitely benefit us moving forwards for him to play on Saturday.
And I don't think you lose much by playing one over the other.
