Dennis to keep his spot imo. Dunno where that leaves Ross? Back to the wing I guess. Sio back to reggies?
 
d saf was very good tonight he was good last week in a well beaten side and has been improving steadily i believe he wasnt fully fit starting the season after his shoulder reco. Was good to see him smash old mate he seems to be hitting harder in d this year.
 
I don't know if Denniss should stick with that offload or not.
In under 20s last year he'd do it 3 or 4 times a game, and sometimes it would lead to a try, and other times it would just turn over the ball.
 
A couple of things I noticed outside of the obvious that pleased me:
1. DSaf’s emotion after scoring his try - was screaming and flipping out. If he had a mic it would have been smashed to the floor!
2. Sio was solid in my opinion. I noticed he appeared to be going for it more with his runs. Appeared to get more drive post contact.
3. Ponga using his body as a bullet as a last line like he did against Aku earlier in the year. When we were up 30-0!! Love this kid.

Now I think about it I agree. He has done some poor stuff this year. Sio has done some silly stuff but has been solid otherwise. Still waiting for yates to come in. Deserves a spot tenfold. Kings first Hit up and nearly bobbled it :/
 
How good was it to watch a game and win comfortably. Not jag a win in the dying moments.

Attitude was what changed tonight and hopefully they can keep it going. We beat Parra which is a very ordinary team but wouldn't have if we didn't have our attitude right.

Dsaf easily our best tonight. Great performance and if he can maintain that sort of performance he will be the forward we need. Just need one other to match him and we have a pack that can rumble.

Ponga needs to realise when he shouldn't chance his arm and play the percentage, but hard to fault him really just playing to instinct.

For mine Denniss keeps his spot, Sio doesn't deserve to lose his either so Ross to reggies to bide his time.

Looked like Cogger picked up an injury late in the game and couldn't move too freely, hip injury possibly. Hope he recovers as we are out of halves.
 
They trained most of the off season with Fitz, Denniss and Ross on the left combining with Ponga, and it looked bloody impressive. Don't know why we wouldn't use that if we could.
