I'm with you Billy. Considering the bashes and knocks Elliot took, he had a great game and was rock solid under the high ball. My disappointment was with some of more senior players. Stocky dropped the ball three times. Pete had a reasonable game but also contributed to errors. Lost the Foxtel picture due to heavy rain. What did Hodko say so bad he was sin binned?

In those conditions I thought Elliot could easily cost us 3 tries against Reynolds, but he did the job, which is all you can ask from an 85k player out of position.
 
Totally different team from last week. We only started playing after the sin bin. We need more intensity in the first 20. Second half try straight up was the killer. Useless defence. They were all 1 metre apart, no wonder rossy was left out there dreaming.

That pass from dummy half to sio was under 10s stuff. Why so hard..... We beat ourselves badly today. Dropped pill too much. Refs gave them the advantage all day. Farrah must have paid him since his never won a milestone game till today.
 
Daniel's go forward individually has been great the first 2 rounds. Jacob has had his moments too. We get up the field so much easier this year. A bit of a drop off today though, maybe intimidated, maybe coming up against a stronger pack, maybe tiredness. Back to their best next week I expect.
 
Another game another great effort. Pretty disappointing 2nd half though, their forwards absolutely monstered ours and we made too many errors.
Barnett, Sione, Hodko, Ross and Gagai were all strong but Buhrer was outstanding. He's such a quality player, the fact that he's made an immense improvement on our right edge attack and defence shows what a terrific player he is.
George Burgess is a total scumbag and he'll get a long holiday but it doesn't do us any good does it? The send off rule is dead and the referees are a disgrace.
 
Levi played longer minutes, which worked well for us.
I hope he is fit enough to do that every week.
 
We could of easily been 3-0 to start the year. We have been competitive in all games so far. We have lost matches by a try to start the year. The way we are playing, we will finish much higher on the ladder than last year.

How is Hodko still in the team, let alone our captain. Guy has done jack **** for us all year, lucky to even see him touching the ball. It's a credit to most of the team that we've been in with a shot all 3 weeks, between captain m.i.a, Elliots **** poor kick awareness (Although I don't think he's too bad in attack) & just the amount of errors we're making every game.

Is there a reason Ross isn't being given a shot at fullback, all I've heard is how good he was as a fullback, and we've had 2 weeks with fullbacks injured and Pete moves over Ross & Gagai.

Overall it wasn't a bad game, ref cost us a few times, our hands cost us even more, and just giving away easy field position. Can't do that against the Bunnies.

What did he do, apart from his gifted try.

Well, when the game was there to be won he lost a scrum against the feed and got himself binned. Great knock from the captain.

Did us a favour though because he got out of the road for Buhrer to put us in a position to win.
 
looks like some people will just whinge about a player no matter what, Re watch the game and you will figure it out :)
 
Cop out. Name three quality plays from hodko other than running through that gap you could drive a bus through.

I can think of one, he had a nice kick that found touch, the one where Ross almost kept it in.
 
Too right, Ennis said he's really changed his ways this year, guy looks better then ever, funny considering the only time you'll see Hodko is after we've scored.
