It was a kick return Ink.
Bula looked very ginger when he received the ball but instead of passing to Makasini right away he ran like he was going to make the return himself, then passed to Makasini a couple of metres before the kick chase line.
Both players at fault really
I think a good default position is to work on the assumption that anything you read on social media is simply produced by AI or bots for engagement.
Social Media as we know it is dead. One of the reasons I like this forum is that it feels like social media 5-10 years ago.
The Cowboys game is the blueprint for an effective Luai/Doueihi partnership but that is reliant on the ruck continuing to be policed properly. If teams know they can slow the ruck our attack again becomes ineffectual.
Wouldnt surprise me if there was some noise being made behind the scenes by...
You kind of need to forget about his salary or you will be perpetually disappointed. There are very few players who would earn that salary based purely on their on field performance.
He does need to be better, but the sample size for 2026 is too small to be making any big decisions

The games Luai has played the...
Just because people have a different opinion to you does not mean they are "low IQs".
Luai has done just about everything in the game. He is quality. Its up to Benji to fit that quality in the current system to get the best out of him. I do seem to remember Luai having his best game in Tigers...
He actually looks a bit like Suaali'i who had some similar teething problems coming into grade. They both dont dog the hard stuff but they run so upright making themselves big targets, probably a product of just being able to run over kids their age.
He should go down to Cup with with some...
Reflecting on last night I don't think the result really told us anything new. The positives are still there, as are the weaknesses and we are a team that is good enough to finish in the bottom half of the 8. Felt similar to the Parra and Souths games in many ways.
Its a really frustrating...
Yep think a few of our fans probably need to read a bit less of the media coming out.
disappointing loss but the strengths are still there, our forwards hurt the opposition, big powerful backs and spark with Bula. Few line ball selection calls Benji made that have probably turned out to be...
