Ailaomai and Sims to the bench is fair - and Herman out of the forwards is fair too. They were all soft in defence.
The worst defender last week was Taufaao - he has probably had his last shot for a while - maybe till next year.
I'd rather see Will Smith at halfback anf Tyler at 5/8 - Api was a bit off the pace last week as well, but that might be through lack of gametime.
 
6-0 to Canberra after 16 minutes.

Interseting that Api is out and they have moved Ethan Cook to 5/8 and brought Carl Means in as lock.
That should make them a much better defensive side.
Korbin Sims got a reprieve and started at prop - he is currently the top tackler.
 
18-6 at halftime.

Our usual terrible completion rate of just over 50% - 46% possession for the first half is a bit better than we usually get.
 
still 18-6 after 50
Knights are having much more possession in the second half, as usual.
 
24-24
Connelly scores
Sullivan converts
Canberra haven't touched the ball for the last 18 points
Knights have about 70% possession in the second half
 
Thanks for the updates Roopy!! Shame we couldn't win after we had all the ball in the 2nd half.
