To come back from 18 unanswered points prior to half time and take the win with all our injuries (including KPP,) and missing our best player to origin is a pretty good showing. Glad Luai finally had a strong hand in a win.
Popa made some brave choices and they paid off. He's got form in taking a young talented side against heavyweights and beating them (WSW beating al-Hilal in the ACL in 2014.)
Great plan to nullify the Turkish attack. They seldom got chances at the top of the box, the midfield and back five...
They wouldn't have won 1 with Seytard there. They'd be penalised out of every game and their forward pack would be in rehab from friendly fire tackles. Still don't know how that clown is playing first grade when Twal is sitting out for 6 weeks because of him.
I am aware of this, I pointed this out in another thread.
In saying this, the first 6-8 weeks of the season we were at full strength, winning games well and he was not a feature when he was fit.
I think it's pretty clear now he's just in first gear until the end of his career now. Four rings, SOO appearances, automatic selection for Samoa. He's loving life.

A poor ROI is an entirely different discussion. Players get injured playing Rugby League, rehabilitation of injury on the job should be provided by the employer like anyone else. Bennett wasn't wrong when he said humans weren't designed to play it.
Luai had plenty around him earlier in the year. Still didn't make much difference.
At Manly, Brooks was given the six and played like one outside an actual halfback.
