He's very safe at the back.

I know the 2nd wing spot is meant to be between Jenkins/Tuala/Mapapalangi, but any reason Fletcher Sharpe can't be part of that discussion soon? He's a gun.

Our ruck defence might have been poor, but they didn't stop trying out there. Scoreline might not show but our scramble defence was excellent as it has been and on our goal line.

Yeah, we seem to start games a bit soft with our contact which really needs to be addressed or we'll be punished against the better sides. I do think our ruck defence has usually improved as the game goes on, but it didn't today really. We had a few good defensive sets keeping them in their end...

It's difficult to trust us after so much misery for so long. However, I feel like this game against the Cowboys may be a good indicator if we've turned a leaf or not. After positive signs for 7 rounds and pushing Manly and Penrith to golden point back to back, it does feel different to what the...

Really like Keeley as a player. He's a bit like Hudson Young minus the ball skills (yet).

I'd like Gamble to be in the starting side. Surely, he can provide similar impact as a ball-playing lock. It might simplify his game a bit and he could really relish that role imo.

Hastings controlled the game really well today and his kicking game was pretty faultless I thought too. The chip bombs had enough length and height and the kick chase was also good today.

I'm all for being critical where it's due, but today isn't really the day. The starting backrow were literally Croker, Sue and Jones. D Saifiti out from covid, Frizell pulled up injured in the warm up. I'd say we were about as good as the squad we named to be honest.

Bradman Best swapping sides wouldn't hurt to change things up imo.

Hopefully Krystian Mapapalangi comes along nicely in the pre-season.

Best is a concern but I think people forget that he's only just turned 21. Yeah he's not coming along as well as we hoped but there's obviously been an attitude problem across the whole playing group this year, so it's obviously not an environment to thrive in at the moment. I'm not convinced...

Best is built low to the ground and would have all sorts of ankle and hamstring problems playing fullback in his current body shape. Even then he wouldn't have the ball skills to be a modern day fullback.

I don't think Leo and Croker should lose their spots on form. Jones will have to bide his time in reserves.

Great performance. I have to say I'm really happy for Dom Young. He's come a long way in 12 months. Last year he looked to have a lot to learn and physically not up to NRL standard, but he looks a lot fitter this year and he'll really benefit with the experience of Gagai beside him.

Looks very neat 👌

Sasagi a smokie late inclusion on the bench or at 6?

Official Team 1. Tex Hoy 2. Starford To'a 3. Enari Tuala 4. Bradman Best 5. Gehamat Shibasaki 6. Kurt Mann 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. David Klemmer 9. Jayden Brailey 10. Daniel Saifiti 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Mitchell Barnett 13. Connor Watson 14. Sauaso Sue 15. Jacob Saifiti 16. Josh King 17...

I really hope Crossland is named at 6 today and Mann 14.

I think Mann's role at lock and him being utilised better will have him less hated this year. Can see most having a man crush for Frizell this year.
