I think Maka is doing well for 18 but agree he looks like he needs a break. Personally I’d give him a week off then bring him back on the wing with Taylan. Can’t expect him to play every game so a week off now or soon is about half way between our first game and our next bye (my god round 1 bye...
Yeah wow what a half. TBH just hope we can keep foot on the gas and have this wrapped up at the 60th minute so Api can get a rest...He can't play 80 every week and its rare we could have a match won early on.
Few calls go our way but showing we stay in the fight this season. Seem we struggle a bit in early minutes when teams come out firing - our middle are good but struggle a bit with containing high impact powerful middles.
my god if people are still talking about sheens stacking the balmain reserve side in 2012 we are so screwed. i mean we are so screwed. but my god, we are so so so screwed. worst professional club in any sport in australia. hopeless bunch run our club, just so sad.
Missed the raiders game so a bit hard to comment, but personally think we’ve seen enough from both Latu and Douiehi to suggest either of them could be our 7 and we could still make tue 8 next year.
Extremely torn on who should get the role tbh.
Important to remember that neither Latu or...
Tonga too. Katoa + Latu in the halves with Hopoate at fullback is a hell of a spine.
Imo the whole international/origin eligibility needs a refresh. Current rules in place reflect where the game was in the 90s.
I’d let people play for whatever country they’re eligible for without it...
Sad ending to our season - played well enough to win but too many poor moments got us in the end.
Didn't really learn much new though - we knew we didnt have enough depth in the middles and that came through. Thought the lack of middles meant we couldnt put the game to bed earlier. Also...
Lots of comments about getting value for money. Fair enough - generally that’s what you need to do to put together a strong top 30.
Really do feel though we need a starting middle who is above average/rep standard. I also assume we must have some decent money left considering what we offered...
Hard to say a success as we havent made the 8, but it is no doubt the first year in a LONG time where we are clearly on the right track. Good to see.
During our mid year slump I thought we should at a minimum change up our assistant coaches. Hard to argue we should change much at the moment. A...
