Impressive for anyone...let alone a kid on Flegg debut.
We are lucky to be within 4 points here. Sharks all over us with field position, possession and in physicality....but any chance we get down their end, we look like scoring.
Glassie Glassie take a bow young man!
Starts with his left handed flick to give his winger Hauhulu some space. Glassie gets back off the deck to follow the play and receive an offload. Some strong work sees him beat 4 defenders to slam the ball on the ground!
Sharks have been pinning is in our end so far. The boys also dont look too keen to get into the physical side of things. Hopefully that try might spur them on a bit! Great run from Biles though!
Javon and Latu have had a few classy moments. The winger Fainga'a been the most impressive in outside backs. Tony Sukkar very strong both sides of the ball again.
Some pretty disappointing contact at times defensively to let in their tries. Murray has missed two simple tackles that have led to...
Haywood has been clinical with his pass selection and deception around the ruck to start this half. Has laid on 3 tries to Sione Lolohea, Taupau-Moors and Tauaifaiga since the resumption of play. Tigers up 32 to 12 with 22 mins remaining.
Pretty disappointing to be only up by 2 at half time when we should be up by 20. An intercept and a chip and chase with a favourable bounce gave Raiders 2 tries towards the end. For us, Roberts crashed over from dummy half and Oitmann did a good job to score his try.
A few backline shifts have...
I thought To'a was fine on Thursday. Just did his job. Doesn't need 10/10 performances each week, just keep doing his role and hopefully start to chime in with some of the attack.
Big test next week against Sharks left side attack and Iro, but I don't see anyone else I would prefer to mark up...
Strong side this week for sure. I enjoyed listening to Riley Oitmann on WTF latest podcast. Very confident young kid who believes they have the squad to take home the title this year. A backline with Riley, Brookes, Tauaifaiga, Taotua is potent!
