I reckon he's being told to play two different games, When he comes on as a sub for Liu he seems to be the main connecting guy but then Liu comes back on and he seems to try play both, I think he's passing to much in that second stint but he'll get better.
Being out there with Liu will be big for him learning the position. I loved that last try, It's something we can go to super often to get the left side one on one.
Edit: I don't know how I didn't notice that Tino actually moved to the second row after Stimson destroyed himself making 41 tackles for the last 13 mins. I wonder if this is actually the way we go moving forward.

Same team with Foran coming in.
Jojo on the extended bench but apparently healthy, Mikaele as well. I heard that Iszac has been given a permanent exemption somewhere but not 100% sure. The Jojo choice has me a bit confused unless he's a late in, Don't see how he shouldn't be an auto in tbh.
They've bought in Kobe Hetherington for Flegler.
Yeah, that makes most sense. I don't mind giving Iszac a rest anyway after this game to go back to q cup, We're going to need him over origin period and it's a long season. It's only 3 rounds after this one till those guys can play anyway.

Apparently Sexton fractured his scaphoid on Sunday and will be out for 4-6 weeks.
The exemption issue is weird given we've still got Alick back in QCup. I don't get it. Very happy for Iszac though and he's been good.
Nice to have a bit of vibe around town for the derby again.
Reckon Cbus will be buzzin for this one!
Yeah that's what has been reported for next year and it makes sense if they do that and expand squads. Will work in our favour from a retention standpoint too.
As of right now though, you've still got to get an exemption and that's relative to roster availability for the position. They're definitely more lenient/exemption happy with concussion protocols which we've discussed a bit on here before, end of the day it's worked out for us haha
On a related note I'm hearing Iszac is carrying a bit of an injury niggle too so that could impact his availability this weekend
Tbh how did we even get an exemption for Iszac when we only technically had 1 middle out through injury (Jolliffe) and players such as Haas and Alick that could've filled in. I mean we gladly took it though lol
