3-2-1 3-2-1 v Cowboys

Honourable mentions,
Timmy J - the hawk, on debut... looks very promising and had a real crack.

Faatape - cops it on here a fair bit, mixed it up well with the NFL flop, bit to work on but always has a dig.

Galvin - just always involved, always having a sniff, few mistakes but he's such a player.
 
3 Bula
2 Porter
1 Galvin
-100 for the Bunker and -100 for Butler and -1000000000 for the NRL who continue to destroy our game.
I wonder how many players will be sent off for hitting the shoulder this weekend.

If he was hit in the head then why didn't he go off for a HIA if it was such a send off necessary decision? Disgraceful decision!

Galvin more good than bad. Some obvious area for improvement. If next year we have a better run with injuries and suspensions and have some stability in the side that of itself will help. I don't think Olam's tackle is a send off in State of Origin or a finals game.
 
Bula, Sa Fainu, Porter and Galvin in some sort of order and crunched into three places. Porter has really surprised me. Bula was exceptional and that Galvin/Sa Fainu combo is really starting to hum.
 
Bula has always seemed tentative in contact and a bit half arsed in the way he runs the ball, but last night he was fearless. Running with intent, taking the line on at full force and speed. Very very good performance.

If he runs like that from now on, he'll be one of the best fullbacks in the game.

I've always rated his defence, because he has cleaned up a lot of clean breaks and managed to save tries that I doubt other fullbacks would save, but his attack last night was a joy to watch.

Objectively speaking though, he could have put Staines away untouched, but chose to go inside instead. Needs to work on his awareness in those situations to go from talented to elite.

Papalii getting white line fever with the game in the balance, I have no words.

Sam Fainu, Klemmer, Alimalo plus the boys off the bench were good. IPap had some good moments and faatape good in attack but that right side defence was woeful but for understandable reasons

I can't criticise those split second decisions to pass or go for the try.
It must be mostly instinct.
