Speed of the game to start the year has suited them very well, just sending their spine through the middle against retreating forwards. Will see how they go when the weather changes, 6 agains start to reduce and games become more of a grind.
WTs will have a similar challenge to show they can...
I understand the disillusionment with Toa given how rarely he can take the field, but wishing for the medical retirement of a 25yo bloke is a bit off.
Benji talked him up and fair bit coming into this season and with the style of footy we seem to want to play he could be a real weapon if he can...
Devo for tiny, looked on in his 10 min cameo, little underdone but still very dangerous.
Glad we are playing safe with him and okay with the backline from last week but much bigger test this week, forward need to be up to it again
All the pundits have been talking up Parra for this year. I thought they'd be OK, but wow, never seen a team put the cue in the rack 2nd half of the first game of season, that was pitiful.
Credit where its due Moses was the only one playing 80 mins last night

Slightly better than league average on his day, but his worst will lose you games single handed.
If he's in 900k no wonder cowboys are in strfe.
Purdue on the...
Yeah they are stupidly top heavy, we saw what happened to them last year with all their injuries, you cant win a premiership like that, way too much risk.
Storm, Chooks, Panthers pay their spine big bucks and everyone else a league average. Thats how you stay consistent
Bizarre from Bula is dragons interest is true, although if we have some success early on, can imagine this changes a bit. Alot riding on the first 6 weeks
Breaking the 3 game win streak hoodoo and playing finals.
Got the cattle this year, early wins will build belief, have to stay consistent and disciplined.
One game for bula, willing to give him some slack, but yes hopefully thats not the standard we can expect.
Attard was okay, agree that Andrews looked very promising
Benji said in the coaching insider that due to the bye in rd1 they're still getting flogged at training atm and that the 1st grade players insisted on playing.
You could see the fatigue really set in around the 10 min mark, Api and Bula specifically looked completely gassed.
The fact that we...
