We should have won it. Refereeing wasn’t great, but we did it to ourselves.

True. Pole is a revelation though. With him, May, Samuela plus two other first grade forward recruits we have a proper pack. We need centres too. Badly. We won’t get all of that in the next window, but if we get one strike centre and and edge forward and we are a top 8 team.

With 15-20 to go, it was there to be won. We had a lead, momentum and lost it. We could have been better, but weren’t. Warriors still had to go and win it and they played that way. They deserve the points.

We were not better

This is unbelievably stressful

Pathetic

Galvin 😡

Really? I thought they looked very impressive, quick and strong - at least in patches. Going to be a very tough game next week.

Took the words right out of my mouth

Have to appreciate that all the pre-season hype is only because we signed Luai. There’s simply not one dynamic back with ability to evade or beat a man with speed. This isn’t news. But I hoped our halves might be creative enough to make them look good. Didn’t happen tonight. Galvin wasn’t...

Understatement.

Never been a big fan of Twal, but his offload was the reason we scored the try.

Hindsight is opposite for me. Showed exactly why we should have taken the 2.

Thanks @tiger_one. Great stuff. Appreciate the posts and all the effort 🙌

Halfback invisible.

Agree, they need to lift. But class halves with energy can make that happen. Like you say, Luai could do it. In 2005, before the season started, we would’ve said our backline is weak and our forwards will never compete with the big guns. The Marshall and Prince combo were the catalyst. This...

Agree Melbourne’s is clearly the best. Brisbane’s very strong. Panthers is solid, like Roosters - as you say if fit. Our 9 and 7 are top tier. Our 6 is the brightest prospect in the league. If Bula hits his stride in 2025 then IMO we have a top three spine.

Hatred is a bit strong. After all these years he hasn’t developed the ability to bend the line or offload. I wish he had. And despite his tackle efficiency being excellent, he remains the consummate plodder in attack. For someone so ineffective with the pill, it is infuriating that he so...

I think that’s right. Top teams invariably have a number of stars. Having said that, with Luai, Galvin, Api and Bula we have a unique, dynamic spine, boasting both experience and youth. At the least, we will be exciting and very watchable. Pole and Fainu are poised to fully break-out and we...
