How many forward passes has this referee let go already?

The touch judge on the western side may as well come and sit with us in the stand. He has missed so many forward passes from the Phins, either from the play the ball or in general play.

Where is he signed next year? Fins…??

Don’t think it’s confirmed what he’s doing yet

I said it in another thread. The range of his performance within a single game is 10/10 moments and 1/10 moments.

He just needs to get some consistency and minimise his errors and he’s very good.

And it is great that more of us are understanding that he is still learning and that inconsistency is part of his game atm.
But boy, I can’t wait to see him play when he reaches around 50 games. He has such raw talent and great instincts.

Might be being abit tough on Friz, but those 2 errors he made in the first half really annoyed me
First one after getting points just dropped a sitter and second one was a terrible offload to get dolphins back into the game

I thought you were referring to our young blokes are ready not degrading Frizz who i think we should keep.

Would be a good pick up. Agree he was phenomenal today. A proper handful.

We are due for a loss. But I’m convinced we will absolutely smoke a team in the next few weeks. Our attack is clicking but I get the feeling we score two or three the flood gates will open.

Worth shouting out Lachy Crouch. I think he has a huge future. Watching Chief get emotional celebrating his debut gave me chills. Everyone speaks so highly of him having a long career at the knights. I'm excited to see him and hopgood have a real crack with Mooney for the next little while. But its a great time to more experience and we likely have the foundations of our next gen pack with those three

Fun fact. Lachy crouch and tom cant played footy together from age 5 at the East Maitland Griffin's.

Sorry, I’m clearly behind on the back story here, but why was Chief getting emotional…? What relation is he….? Or is he just like everyone’s favorite grandad now who cries at any poignant celebration worthy moment?

Nice little moment today in the sheds with a very familiar face

A win is a win and the team looks like they expect to win, which all good teams do. It's a huge turn around from last years lackluster performances. To come away with wins at State Of Origin time is a big bonus. I still think the team is a work in progress and there are areas that need to be improved, but credit must go to the coaching staff as we have had many positional and player changes in the last month and the team still looks like a cohesive unit.

 

[Die Hard]

Our defence seems to have got a lot better. Lowest points by far that the Dolphin's have scored this season.
