IMO our prop rotation is developing very nicely. Terryl May, Pole, Sione Fainu, Taateo and Hunt. All have impact. And some younger hopefuls. 2nd rowers---Sam Fainu, KPP, Seyfarth, Twal, Charlie Murray. Another quality 2RF would be good. Lock----Tyrone sounds a good prospect. Bird and Twal...

I would also like to see him have quick PTB'S. and offloads. Not run backwards with his legs wide apart to maximize post contact metres and slow the go forward momentum.

Often players love to get the PCM stats up. Big deal! A momentum killer for a few metres. Usually means a slow PTB after the ref says "held". The defence has reset and got a second wind. IMO a Quick Play the Ball without the BS struggle with 3 players trying to steal the ball is much more effective.

On paper, the doggies had a top side. So I think we done fairly well. Shame about the slow start.

Taateao 23yrs next week. Same weight as Pole---108 kg. Sounds like he defends like Pole? Fingers crossed he gets some miles into his legs, maintains his desire; becomes a part of our prop rotation?

Mason missed 11 tackles.......made no line breaks! Next game..........Latu the 5/8 please. Tackled everything coming his way and I feel would be better in attack at 5/8. It was a close game---3 tries each, and we were a whisker away from a late winning try. My big hope is we can repeat this...

Start OK then slide down the table as the season progresses. It's because of injuries and no decent back ups------depth is crap. Then mentally switch off as no chance of making the semi's. Then 1% efforts aren't there.

I think TDS misses tackles because he is not physically there yet. A slight build, not battle hardened. The opposing big boys would tend to run at him to improve their statistics. Tackle breaks, off loads etc. Having said that, I haven't seen any subtle ball distribution when in the red zone to...

My thoughts also, 23 next month, 108kg. Top comments from the KOE game. Gotta be better than a 15 min. cameo from Hunt.

According to BWG, luke lualilii had a great game at fullback last weekend in KOE. If he can catch contested bombs he would be a great reserve fullback-----that can also play wing.

You mean front row?

I only watched the 1st half, but was gobsmacked when the "Ferrari" could not catch Drinkwater? There was another occasion as well when he was outpaced? Must have had a big 2nd half?

He was an experiment for WT that hasn't worked. No stamina to maintain the rage! He is a liability. He needs to be dropped. His poor input does not justify his inclusion. The opposition [coach] know he is good for a couple of runs only, so they gang tackle him. Then his defence is crap so we...

I think the coach - Sultana, was the Balmain H W coach which punched well above its weight so it didn't go unnoticed. What a difference to to the sacked mob.

Anywhere; EXCEPT FULLBACK please!

After leaning how to be a 5/8; in Reggies?

I see him playing for Western Suburbs Magpies for the rest of the year. No Tiger jersey. Next year-------------who cares? Only interesting thing would be for how much?

Betsey, from memory comes from a cricketing background? Maybe League is not his forte. Betsey for admin. - cricket background. Maybe someone with a better league background would be better suited to identify what isn't working?

That's my point with Kit. A ball of muscle, runs hard etc but built to close to the ground. Off loads? Can't imagine Bellamy or Robinson persisting for 3 years with their fingers crossed. We need to be more ruthless and much better at spotting talented-prospects than we have been.

Not a fan of Kit. IMO he will never make it from what I have seen. I think hew has already peaked.
