Stevie Wonder could see in the offseason that having to rely on first drop spine depth like Hope and Mason was not going to cut it ….but that’s what they decided to go with ?

Yes unfortunately.
We have to develop a playing style that the second stringers can hold their own doing. The hot potato, keep it alive stuff is leading to too many errors and we don’t have the defensive class in that group to defend them.
Latu at 7 and Javon Andrews at 6 next week.

Has Latu really shown he can handle it yet?
Has he been given an opportunity is more like it
He hasn't been given a chance to show it this year. There have been glimpses in previous years, but injuries.

For mine he was wholly responsible for his positioning when he basically gave Jenkins a free run outside him to score in the corner late in the match.
Hopefully he learns from it, though the effort from Skelton when he should have nailed To'o off the Cleary banana kick was probably worse. Particularly because it ended our going set for set with them for the opening dozen or so minutes of the second half.
The floodgates reopened as a result, conceding more than a point a minute from there onwards.
Don’t forget they get to play us twice😁
He is overdue to get that opportunity.

Maybe only 5,001 with you if it wasn't already sold out.
Well I was ready to go a lot earlier than that, but just stayed stubborn until it tipped over the 56 barrier. I honestly thought it would be 80 part way through the first half.
What's annoying that other clubs when faced with the fact they are harbouring a dud coach they do something about it, this joint is just content with mediocrity, if I hear another player saying their playing for Benji I'll f....en vomit, any team that gets beaten by 70 points is not having a go

Is there an unforced error comparison section to go with those above? That table shows Pole as a guy who can break more tackles than a workhorse, but doesn't make enough tackles or metres to match them.
Glaringly, not only does the average defensive specialist provide more variety through offloads, Fonua gets a duck egg.
Pretty sure they are doing everything in slow motion.

We give them 5 year contracts
Terrell said as much the other day. His loyalty is to the coach, not the club. A lot of supporters want us to kowtow to both sets of brothers by bringing their brothers to the club to keep them all happy. But if they are going to dish up what they did today, why should we care if they’d want to quit the club if Benji goes. What would we be losing?
