And didn't impress either. Andrews would have better condition and ability ATM.

That won't last long when they see his dancing looking for holes to run through-----that don't exist.

I'm hopeful they have someone lined up but just can't announce it until after 1 November------------------------I'm a dreamer!

Doueihi? haha

I wouldn't assume Makasini anywhere in the NRL side. He has regressed and needs to show he has mentally matured to match his size. And when I say matured, I am referring to being able to read the play and defend accordingly. IMO a year away unless injuries prevail. Tupou is way ahead of him in...

I think Benji gets too involved with the immediate plays and forgets he has a bench. Needs an alarm clock [or an assistant coach with a clock] to remind him it's time to rotate players-even if they look like they are doing OK. Fatigue is often hard to see, but it's there. The 1% that don't...

There must be oodles of players from other clubs in the lower grades with better attributes wanting to get an NRL run. Look around guys.

Saukuru has relied on his 115kg to run over KOE players. Has no sidestep and no real pace. And can't defend. We have a problen! Tupou has played centre and I think has more of what Saukuru hasn't. Maybe a look at in the off season?

Mak. is 19 now. And if you think you can teach Mak; there's a chance Sak may learn as well. But a mystery how he got to this level with no feel for what's needed in defence. Mak 'n Sak seem to have had the same defensive issues? Not sure you can teach them speed though. Wasn't Tupou a centre at...

Well, Plati must have been injured today because he was MIA.

IMO I thought Makasini defended like he was back in the NRL. Left his wing position to often to nail the opposing centre; but manage to miss him. The winger unmarked and missed scoring only by bad passes. And this is Jersey Flegg!

He played well. Bigger than I thought. Our worst was Plati. A big slug. We went backwards when our bench players got game time. When our "Run Ons" got back on the field we clawed our way back.

C = X ?

They had enough impact against the Roosters. Pole, Bunty and May. I just hope May can run at the defence like last week, and not dawdle and turn? We need all props to be strong, not just two. I think Bunty is underestimated compared to Hunt's minimal contribution.

Interesting mentioning Taateo as an impact player. Benji has Vaka Aho in the reserves.

I think Solo has been blessed so far with the ball getting spread wide more often (no Doueihi). However, I think the opposing coaches will sus him out with his lack of speed and experience and just run around him or over him. We will soon see; but hope Benji can help him overcome some of these...

He's listening? Taking note. Just maybe they have better insight than Benji thought?

I thought most of his kicking was strategic. Bombs to pin them down or have a chance to retreive. Benji instructions?

Rubbish.

And some sprint training for Saukuru as well. And touchdowns closer to the posts.
