He wasn’t good today outside of the try he set up. That said, I think he need to go back to KOE and work on his game. You cannot compare him to Lachie Galvin who could be that once in a thousand player who makes a transition from juniors to first grade. Bud is still only young and I can see...

Shuster is an interesting one - didn’t he debut under Dessie? Titans are struggling for halves with Foran on the way out.

Hopefully we are prepared for those tactics and plays into our hands.

I like Galvin at 5/8 and would keep him there. Rarely have I seen an 18 year old so composed. His footy nous and maturity are outstanding. As an 18 year old however is still growing physically and will fill out and put more weight on especially with weights programs etc. I have noted that he is...

I think Bud is suspect in defence and we will miss Galvin who is solid in that area. I reckon Benji would go with Latu if they weren’t managing his recovery however Bud will probably get the nod. If he does, he needs to bring his running game.

I agree but Latu they are managing Latu’s loads at present due to soft tissue injuries. He played half a game last week and a little more this week - not sure they will want to rush him in as he is only regaining his strength

It’s the way we played last week that has me slightly confident. The thought It was out best performance in 5+ years. The effort areas in line speed, kick chase, running hard with ball in hand and desperation to jump on loose balls (hats off to Api there) were excellent. I think those things...

Again it’s probably my coff-snobbishness coming out but how do pods rate overall? I find them a little bland tbh.

I think Charlie is a good defender. Makes good decisions and has a good technique. It’s his attack and hit ups that concern me.

There is a reasonable age gap between the two to suggest this may not have been the case. I thought it was Fulton. He rated the kids coming through Blacktown/Manly more highly.

Latu is very classy with ball in hand. A strong runner who digs into the opposition line and can pass but my estimation is that he is a run first player. He didn’t play much today (I watched him on the sidelines and it looked as though he wanted to get back on - if he does, I think we win)...

I thought he was marginally better from last week. I am prepared to give him more time especially as he is coming back from a fairly hurrendous injury from last year. Timing and confidence do take some time to get back. That said, he has a smallish frame which will most likely limit him in...

3 -Line speed in defence. Really rattled the sharks 2 - Kick chase - Best I have seen from a Tigers side in an eon 1 - Hard Running - Put them on the back foot which allowed Api to play on the back of our dominance. Honourable Mentions - 17 committed players who pulled it off. Special mention...

I think they wanted to stay but the decision was taken out of their hands.

unfortunately very close to the truth!
