Both halves looked good last night. Madden brings something different, and AD seemed better back to running wider.
Small sample size and no need to change anything now. By the time Luai’s back we’ll know more and hopefully Latu will have had more game time under his belt.
Good problem to have.
Madden is a must have at half.
They say AD might have just been cramp, if so he might be back soon.
Latu has been training for ages so if he’s fit to play I’d pick him at 6. If not, I’d go Andrews. I wouldn’t shuffle any positions.
We have a lot of halves depth but didn’t think we’d lose both...
I think it’s more likely Makasini will play as an edge backrower than at fullback.
We’ll likely only have him for a couple more years so hopefully that’s in the centres.
Not everyone is going to come through at 18 like Makasini.
I said he'll be ready to replace Geyer next year who will start in NSW Cup, not that he was a potential superstar. By the time he's 21, I think he'll be a starting NRL forward somewhere. He's tall enough, and will bulk up in the next...
Both Seyfarth and Twal get in the way when we’re attacking inside oppositions line. They should never get the ball there and we should have Pole, Hunt or Bunty on the field somewhere for those hit ups.
Jock does have something we are missing which is an organiser. We never plan our 5th tackle options and today we actually did for the most part.
With Luai, Andrews, Latu, AD the reality is they are all 6s. The latter 2 we are trying to mould into 7s but if it doesn’t work it’s good to have...
