Surely must have an injury...

Hell of a team there.

Nothing on the Jets website, and not in the under 20's side.

And not on the "current injury list" ( which is never current anyway )

must be injured?

If Graham and Carney are playing together on the left that is a mean wing 3/4 combo.

Team looks pretty good. I'd probably have Mataka in the centres (he has been playing so well there so far this season for Jets), Takairangi starting in the backrow, and Vaiotu on the bench, but otherwise, considering the absence of Tasi and Guerra (as well as the extended absences of Cherrington and Watts), its one hell of a strong team.

Where is David Thomas and Ma'a Rua? I thought we signed those two blokes up?

Having a strong reserve grade team can only be a good thing.
