The team is going well - three good efforts so far.

Gavet getting injured is crazy though. The one position I thought we really covered well was prop, but they are going down like ten pins.
 
I'm worried Lino won't last the full game which will really kill us with having to reshuffle. Will Sione become the utility?
 
It will still be the Pearce and Ponga show.
Lino will be like Lamb - he'll only get the ball when Pearce either wants a rest or thinks nothing is on - so he won't have much to do.

Do we need much more from him though??

IMO a goal kicking, ball running five-eighth who can also be called upon on the last tackle to kick is pretty much what we need, don't need someone overplaying their hand.

Jury is still out obviously but I'm fairly optimistic about Lino
 
We played Watson from 5/8 as a ball runner and not for his ball playing skills. No different to what we should expect of Lino.

Pearce runs the show with Lino running at holes and trying to make something happen, with Ponga supporting and bobbing up wherever he feels there is a weakness.
 
If Lino plays well & Watson comes back through the bench, jeez Mann won't be happy. But too bad, he's here now. A typical Brown move though would be Levi dropped with Mann/Watson rotating.
 
Not the most heartwarming words that come from Levi's name. Maybe that's why Brown doesn't like him.
