Really glad we got the win. In past season we would have been lamenting terrible reffing as the difference but we dug in and showed resilience.

I thought Parra were quite good actually. A lot of intent early on in defence which meant they were winning the field position battle.

I think we should have played more direct and tried to punch holes through the middle third. A few times we started to do that in the back end of the first half and start of the second we made some good ground and metres. Maybe would have played to our strengths a bit more.

The sin-binning was the only reason Eels got back in the game. I didnt think it warranted a sin-bin. I can only hope there’s some consistency for those types of calls for the rest of the season.

On my last note, I absolutely despise Moses. Complete grub and scumbag from his constant milking of penalties to his whinging and sooking. I wish it was 2009 and someone could just go out there and put one on his arrogant chin.

Hunt and Sione coming on made a difference, especially Hunt. It was their forward momentum that got us rolling.

Quiet I thought. Didn’t do much of anything but I can’t remember him being poor. I’d have to rewatch the game to be sure though.

Though Herbert was our best followed by Javon Andrews and Sukkar. Bunty Afoa was solid and Attard had some classy touches but is a year or two off first grade.

Saukuru scored a few but I see him more as a centre or back row option than winger.

Javon looks sharp with the ball its his defence that concerns me.

Toa looked ok. Id walk him straight back in and its his jersey to lose. Turuva isnt a centre and we need maka on the wing.

I saw Herbert stuff up a basic defensive read that led to a try, I wrote him off after that.

Turuva is playing better and more consistent at centre than Toa ever has

Consistent maybe. Better, no. In form Toa is as good as any centre in the comp. Turuva just fills a gap and does a job without being anything special

Toa doesn't deserve to selected on today's form in Cup. Going forward, I see our centres as Douehi and May with Madden and Luai the halves. Finally, good balance of skills.

Toa has no form ....hes had a long lay off and he needs match fitness, at least a couple more weeks in Reggies to get up to speed
If he performs the same in 3 weeks time as he did today then he has no form....but this is a recovery process.

We really made it harder for ourselves today than we needed to. We had a lot of ball down their end and just couldnt extend that 18-10 scoreline...really shouldnt have got to golden point

Agree on all points.
 
Tigers were dominant outside of the left edge and 10 minutes with a player in the sin bin. Some serious credit to the forwards Twal, May. Api. KPP, Sam Fainu. Pole. Royce, Sione Fainu. This is the best overall pack we have fielded in years. Credit where it’s due they are strong across the park.
