[QUOTE="AfakasiAssasin, post: 419661, member: 50580"] I cant find an article either. But I have seen on other forums that he has retired and it would explain his absence from the day. Plus given his age (34) too it wouldn't come as surprising he wants to spend the rest of the career playing for his club. I hope this isn't the case and hearing things on forums are false without a viable source. Well if he thinks Australia is going make a statement at Manu Samoas expense well Im confident that he'll have another thing coming. I hope we see Alesana Tuilagi with ball in hand run a TRAIN over his candy A$S! I agree, that touch ref has to be one of the most incompetent referees Ive ever seen. Every time I see him making a call whether it be for a penalty or a line call he is indecisive and it seems he cant even speak proper English. I'm not just talking about that call or that game, he has been like that every game Ive seen him as referee during the PNC. And I agree on Timoteo Iosua, he had a horrible game and hasnt been that impressive in his showings for Samoa. We have Alesana Tuilagi, Sailosi Tagicakibau and David Lemi so I would go as far as to say he probably wont get anymore game time for Samoa unless its against the Western Force and unlikely hell be at the RWC. I hear your argument regarding Helleur but I cannot agree with you. As I said if you watched him on that particular play he wasn't watching the referee at all he was watching the ball and Taumalolo yet he STILL gave no effort to try and recover the ball or try and stop him defensively. It was a lazy, uncommitted and lacked any endevour and it wasn't the only time in the match. I will watch him closely though when he comes on during the Wallaby game, and I hope he can come through and make good on the faith that you and the selectors have in him and show that he does rightfully belong in the Manu Samoa team.
