The point is that Walsh has shown he is more then capable and willing to being hit hard and has the ability to bounce out of tackles, like the good fullbacks of today. Has Bula shown this attribute, not saying he can't develop it but a small question mark.

What makes a great fullback, 'bash and barge' is a big part of it, these days Fullbacks like Tedesco, Walsh, Edwards who are very strong and can bounce out of tackles, they don't mind the 'tough' runs. Has Bula go that in him? There's every chance but he needs to show it soon. While Makinsini...

So membership packages are really for only 11 games because you would need to get to Brisbane for the 12th. Thanks

Maybe, I wonder what his tackle break stat is? Does he show the agility of other top fullbacks, who are bouncing out of tackles and making half breaks? Also, has he the strength and power of other fullbacks? He can glide into a backline movement as good as anyone but top fullbacks have more to...

Fail, the two losses against Cowboys and Titans was evidence of that. No doubt there has been improvement, but when you consider the money spent in the off season and the injury toll, a little disappointing. There was a definite improvement in there attitude and resolve which we can hopefully...

Disappointing, have we a kicking game?

Would of hoped for better tonight. Has he ‘owned’ a game year this year? He should of made this game his tonight but found lacking.

Yeah but it's the ferocity of the tackles, he's like a powder puff compared to those guys, needs to get some mongrel into his game. Even good old Alex hits harder then him.

I'm feeling better about Luai. On the weekend, I thought he showed improvement with his passing and running game. He's strong in defence and can have a very good kicking game

Yeah, he could be anything, for a young guy, I love his confidence and it seems no matter who he's up against, he shows some mongrel and aggression. Is only going to get bigger as well.

Best thing about todays game was our defence, line speed, first contact and we slowed the ruck down with a strong wrestle and niggle. As many have mentioned our fifth play options were lacking.

A little, needs to get some mongrel about him, go harder.

Good win, not great but some good signs, Manly were very bad. I'm loving Sam Finau's attitude recently, he looks scary for a young guy, he seems like he's not going to take sh*t from anyone. And his brother looks like he has some hidden strength about him. Also Turuva, gotta love him, all heart.

What do you mean? The players replacing these players aren't as good, are they? Maybe, not sure?

There are a number of reasons why the Tigers can't beat Manly but there shouldn't be any excuses with that injury list. Big game for the team, really need to show we are improving with a solid win

But we have the Samoan connection

Yes good analysis, we live in hope and it's hope they all go up a notch or two.

Yeah no worries, I understand, Api is a great club man. However, its hard to argue against, that it would of been best if Api didn’t want an extension and TDS take over in 2027?

Yeah you can make judgements about someone’s whole career based on 10 minutes of football but I think it normally needs more then that. Each to their own.
