Good solid performance, feel for the warriors...prob up for the storm game and 10 day break didn't help. Agree Gavets best game so far...not dominated as he has been. Hopefully a real turning point and see us finals bound

Who do we prefer at 6? Watson or Mann? I feel like Mann did nothing this game and Watson got us on the front foot even before he went to 9.

Watson at 6, although he doesn't really have a kicking game he's a stoic little bastard and provides in other areas

Good question im not a fan of these utility 5/8ths rarther sign someone who IS a playmaker. But just have to roll with it for this year
 
To play like absolute garbage for a month and yet still be 1 win outside the 8 after today means they still have time to turn their season around.
 
The commentator said ...Another head shake from Tuivasa Shek it really hasn't been a good day for him ...Well mate that's because the Knights made it that way and with a great game plan thx Brownie. If we keep this style of play and enthusiasm up the finals are within our grasp.. Big shout out to all the boys Great game fella's .
Danny Levi the best two games ive seen him put back to back well done mate ...

Yep his energy is great, but can come with an error or three. But at least he never gives up. Didn’t see much point having Mann in other than to allow Watson to go to 9.

Barnett has those errors in him when we don't need them. Always seems when we are going to score he fumbles or running out of red zone he loses it. Great game overall by the boys. Our d on the right needs some work but don't help with different lads there every 10 mins. Pleased with all efforts today. Team performance.

Yeah true re the errors, very frustrating, could have had another try there when he dropped it but he's enthusiasm is fantastic and flexibility is a plus
 
I know our right side defence was ordinary but I'm guessing Ramien is back next week if he almost played today? That should make a massive difference
 
Very good game and result, 5/8 is Watson’s not Mann his enthusiasm, yes along with mistakes, keeps us in it. Like the idea of him playing hooker to spell Levi who also had a good game. Ramien back will improve things although Sione went ok. Need to have only two props on bench along with Sione and Mann, Barnett needs a spell during game, so miss Guerra.
 
Solid away win. We have a poor record over there so could have easily turned up a little underdone and lost.

If Watson gets form with his running game he can stay at 6 but I would prefer a genuine 6.

Bring on the dogs.
 
Great win! In previous years we’d of dropped our bundle after little things like the Watson and Barnett errors but not today.

Attack looked slick and we could of easily put a couple more on them. Was really good to watch. I drew wood when Ponga sealed it at the end.
 
Brown is so full of it! Saying the refs made some bad calls in the presser...what would he know!

Exactly, I was most nervous after they bombed two golden chances to put the game away because theyve lost so many games on the back of those types of errors in the past.

Was also great to see Ponga race away and put the icing on the cake, it's been rare in the last few seasons that our wins have come with that satisfying final blow, normally we fight and claw for wins at any cost rather than kick a beaten team while they are down.
