Also wonder if Henry and Paisami were swapped last minute, seeing Henry still has 12 next to his name…

They could be swapped but I don't think the numbers are really indicating they will be, it's probably just due to the jerseys available in different sizes. A lot of the bench last weekend were wearing duplicate starter numbers, Henry included. I don't think they bother getting jerseys numbered beyond 28 and there's no 24 listed so it's probably just that it wouldn't have fit Henry.

I dont think thats very realistic tbh.

Why? Not realistic because you don't think he suits the role or... ? he's similar in most physical dimensions to Jordie.

With no disrespect to Jordan I'm not sure he's as good a rugby player at this stage, nor has the playmaking experience.

Not sure it's where I'd be moving him to, but I'm not sure it's unrealistic.

Similar physically but that's about where it ends.

Fair enough and good pickup - I missed that last week

I don’t understand why he wouldn’t be allowed to return?

he is innocent. Spent the last year not being able to showcase his skills. False sexual allegations (or unproven) seem to ruin a lot of innocent blokes reputations.

Because he hasn't played rugby in a year and was already pretty past it when we signed him. There's really no point.

Because he’s 35, and frankly it’d still look shit for the code when things are already looking shitty. It’s not a risk they should be willing to take.

Was it a 1 year deal? (Probably knowing World Cup cycle)

if he’s under contract - just waste of money telling him to sit at home.

Lmao, where are these "false sexual allegations", by all remarks he had a sexual altercation with a woman whilst his wife was pregnant. Is this the sort of player we want wearing the Green and Gold and representing our country? Seems your beliefs are drastically different from mine.

he was found innocent.

when it comes to blokes and sexual allegations it’s always “guilty until your found innocent but names been dragged thru the mud so might as well keep calling them guilty”
