Now, Benny Gardner was on Vossy today on SEN, and he was asked by Vossy around the fullbacks.

And when he was asked around the Kiwis, which you're sort of referring to, Kenny, uh, Ponga, how do they play that out? How do they squeeze these? So the Jack Gibson philosophy was kinda just pick your best players, positions will sort themselves out.
Yep.

Benny Gardner, who's the Samoan coach, he was kinda saying, "No, you've gotta go with the star," and I'm paraphrasing, "with the runs on the board."
Ooh.

And, and so he was kinda tipping me into thinking that he was leaning to Ponga at fullback.
Okay.
So did he, did he give you a hint that he might be thinking Hammer over Su'a?
Okay.

So okay, if that's what you're saying about the Kiwis, does that mean that you're saying Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow over Su'a Filongo?
Mm.
Yes
So we'll have shows every Monday night, 7:30, 7:00 mate, uh, with the boys.
