"has" or "had"? Seems to be doing OK supporting play at Wakey

Agreed, you can only go on what he's doing now.

Fair enough. If he can translate that form into form for the Bulls then great.

I thought Sheriffe made some improvement on Sun in some area's but his defence is still dodgy. The two contributions that spring immediately to mind are the quality finish for his try and not taking a bomb with very little pressure being applied. The latter was a ball that should have been taken without too much problem, is he still struggling for confidence?

Even if our wingers were setting the world on fire we're still short of cover. With Tupou out we need Halley back.

Is it safe to say we can forget about Tupou? It has gone almost silent on his injury and likely return date other than the odd snippet of him being a long term casualty.

Halley at stand off, anyone?
Or perhaps as a substitute hooker, we definitely lack pace at the ptb.

I'm working on the basis we've seen the last of Tupwho, for the same reasons. Anyone know otherwise?

I'm not sure his distribution is good enough and since we've not been getting the ball wide quickly enough it's not likely to help in that department. Halley does go looking for work from the wing though so if he can support Menzies (who's always getting his hands free and then looking around confused why nobody's there) he could certainly bring his pace into play there.

Longer term i've considered he might be an option for stand off so it's not a completely out there thought.

But why just keep him and not play him? That does not make any sense, either financially or for the sake of the team.
