god I hope so. We need Latu to play and not get injured. We will actually have some chance to score points.

3 Alex Twal - bloody outstanding start to the year. That's what a forward leader looks like. 2 Api - game changer who can win games for us. Too bad he got shifted to the halves it killed our attack. 1 Royce Hunt - ran bloody hard and turned the momentum for us when he came on.

Blocking Makasini's pathway sounds like a great way of retaining him.

I didn't think we played too badly considering we lost our halves and had two kids defending an edge. They got rinsed early, but after that we played pretty well. Sure our attack was not smooth, but Souths defended well. If we hadn't lost Luai I felt we were going to win that game. Then losing...

Our best performer in our two games. It is noticeable when he is off the field. He brings the energy to our defensive line, and he is now passing the ball which I have never seen from him.

Who are our halves next week? Luai and Doueihi both possibly gone.

Where were you when the Wests Tigers season ended?

Even playing for Melbourne, Stefano is still as dopey as ever. Missed a try opportunity, gave up chasing the ball in-goal when it sat up for him for a moment.

Lolohea started at half when Tonga beat Australia, and he had a great game if I recall correctly. The bro was a supreme talent with a supreme appetite, never a good combo for an athlete.

It must be a hard skill to learn. The only other player I've seen do kick offs like Pat Richards was Kyle Feldt. When I was a kid I didn't mind us conceding a try so much cause I got to see his kick offs. One of the coolest things in footy.

I think they will. He didn't come here then suddenly become good. He was on a steady upwards trajectory last year, putting in good performances every week without doing anything outstanding.

Newcastle actually have a decent roster full of attacking threats. It's more the case of Adam O'Brien being horribly inept.

Backrowers that can hit a hole, throw offloads and not tackle thin air. The dream has finally come true (maybe).

Never seen Skelton play centre, but I'd have him there just based on size. Turuva vs Latrell is a mismatch.

I will be closely watching how Kai Pearce Paul goes this week with Walker and Latrell running at him. Latrell has been in fine form to start the year, meaning Skelton has his work cut out. KPP can earn his paycheck by shoring up that D line and making good decisions.
