Was not very good in attack or defence, looked disinterested.

He should be dominating

He should be dominating

It was his first game in yonks. Needed match fitness bad

The ladder is skewed...in reality we are 3rd
Knight with 4 wins from 5 have a better percentage than our three from four wins
Only f/a has us higher

 

[Tiger Stripes]

See ya Adam...off to the bench for you 😉

Naaa. Doueihi to the centres.
Turuva back to wing.
Luke to Reggie's.

Man I hate this term

Brent Read went with that concocted story on NRL 360 last night.
My medical expertise from my loungeroom 1000km's away told me Crichton was cooked/ done/ kaput/gonski.
The Bulldogs BS machine in overdrive through their tame journo.

Then Read is blantently lying, as he said it was his own independent idea.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Wouldn't mind seeing this happen, but I think Benji sees Jock as a fill in, not a senior part of the starting side.

Originally yes, but Maddens form would have changed that I would suspect.
Doueihi to centre now IMO.
Madden understands the big picture and what needs to be done. Optimise field position.
This let's the runners concentrate on where to run. Not trying to run and manage the game.

I watched the whole game at the stadium and did not even know he was playing ..

Looked short of a run and arm still heavily strapped.

I wouldn’t be bringing him back unless our hand is forced.

Skelton can replace Laulilii and hopefully Tino is okay.

For me . I’d go either turuva to left wing , and Herbert to right centre leaving Tino where he is .
Or Makasini to left wing , Herbert to left centre and leave the right how it is .
Herbert was the best player on the field in cup and it wasn’t even close . Looked like Mal Meninga out there . Needed the reps under his legs , and to get his confidence back. I think he has that , and I’d be rewarding him accordingly .

Just saw a post in news.com.au stating that Kit L is joining LL at The Bears next year.

Yep and let’s just say this reserve grade is his spot he missed a few in defence and basically was just going through the motions

He looked great in attack but I thought in defence he was beaten for speed a couple of times. I wouldn’t change our centres until Taylan gets back.

no to skelton, another defensive liability

The couple of times were on sweep plays with the quick Eels fullback sweeping fast and Herbert flat footed marking up the decoy-running backrower. It was the connection with Saukuru on his outside which was the problem as Saukuru didn't jam in decisively on the 1st try & didn't jam in at all on the 2nd.
