Sialli

What does he have to do to start? He is an absolute live wire
in attack always looking for the off load and gets his hands
free. He is also strong in defence, I don’t see Alofa as a
better player. Also he is staying next season.

He has our historic trademark Harlequins Flair all about him. He
is the spark in many of our attacks in the backline and like
many on this forum I too can’t understand why he warms the
bench. Not that that’s a bad thing having a player of his
quality coming off the bench hitting lines hard and stepping
with fresh legs in the latter stages, but I just feel his
finesse and performances should merit more starts in the XV.
Here’s hoping he starts the last few games. Players like him
make all the difference in my opinion

The only thing I can think of is that the coaches aren’t sure he
could last a whole game fitness wise? He certainly ramps things
up when he comes on.

Sorry to be pedantic, but if we’re going to write a thread about
Saili, can we at least spell his name right?
I agree he should start though. I wouldn’t take him ahead of
Marchant, but considering he is injured, I can’t see any good
reason to start Alofa ahead of Saili.

Agreed - I'd start him in the centre and move Alofa to the wing
as we're short there

Been saying for weeks he offers so much more in attack and a
shame he hasn't been started regularly -assume Gussie sees Taps
and Alofa as more solid ?

Tapuai has been excellent all season in both attack and defence.
I think Saili is better at 13 anyway so with Marchant out, it’s
the most obvious solution. Particularly considering Alofa is
leaving.

Not done deliberately I assure you.

Sure, but you could go back and edit it.

You're not really being pedantic - just unnecessarily boorish. I
don't know J Scott at all and I'm not making any assumptions or
speaking for them but I'm sure you're more than aware that
dyslexia exists so knowing that, I definitely wouldn't be coming
out of the traps in the way you have. Just don't think this was
necessary really - other ways of saying the same thing without
deliberately trying to humiliate people.
On the subject itself, Saili would be starting most of the time
for me (at 12 when Marchant is fit and when he's not, at 13
partnering up with Taps). But Gussy obviously knows something we
don't. Based on performance when on the pitch, Saili is streets
ahead of Alofa. Which leads me to believe that some of the
suggestions about Saili's fitness might not be too wide of the
mark - maybe he's not at 100% and they just want to keep him
available at least in part for the rest of this season before
giving him some proper recovery time over the summer. Hope we
get to see 12. Saili / 13. Marchant a lot more next season...
