Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3402111, member: 9881"] I don’t see how anyone gets over Kaufusi and Capewell and they definitely aren’t taking a 19 year old second rower who hasn’t played anywhere else in his career on the bench. You can have a bet that you reckon Slater is going to drop his former teammate and mate at second row. The same bloke who has held that spot since about 2017. Not going to happen. Yeah Kaufusi probably doesn’t deserve to be safe but I can’t see Slater gambling with Nanai in what really will be a must perform well series for Slater to have really any credibility as a coach. We have 1 injured player and 3 out of the 4 heavily pathwayed clubs to the maroons are sitting in the top 5. He has to perform well and the Maroons have to perform well in order to command this idea that he was the right decision let alone be respected as the Qld coach. Kaufusi has done it a million times. Do you really take that gamble for a flashy second rower who has a quarter of the skill and 1/8th of the workload of someone like Fifita who got chewed up and spat out in origin. The tough boys stand out in origin, especially in the forward pack. Not the beyond skillful ones. Kaufusi for mine probably won’t lose that spot and in now world can you convince me Nanai deserves a spot on the bench with his likely null impact when Arrow is probably already a better genuine second rower and has that spot covered. You also have blokes like Carrigan, Foegler, Mo, Cotter, Collins all vying for a bench spot. Nanai’s selection would be well premature for mine and would reek as desperation. [/QUOTE]
