Can’t believe you all gave Luai points.
For a bloke who has seen so much success, he is a poor leader and cannot direct play. He is Robin and we really need to find Batman.
Bula Taylan, Terrell and Turuva all played well

You are very hard to please. I don't think it was jarome missing tackles on that right edge last night that led to tries. I'm one of his bigger critics. But you are constantly relentless in scapegoating him. He's not a miracle man. He put us into the lead after 16-16 and at 28-16 I wouldn't say he managed the game poorly. Perhaps if doueihi was there on the right there wouldn't have been tries conceded. The game changed when latu dropped the ball and the team were falling off tackles due to the lack of momentum. They played for 40 minutes. The other 40 they were passive. I don't think you can blame the result on him just because he's on 1.2 million. He is 1 of 17 who played and he did his job well. You know who is leading poorly? Api. Missing tackles like the one on Purdue on the first half are unforgivable. Fonua Pole has been our worst player in the past month and needs to be in reserves
 
3. Terrell May & Alex Twal- both lead through actions in the middle. Set the defensive tone when on. Wasn't their defence that let us down.
2. Luai- getting so much better as the season goes on.
1. Turuva, Taylan May, Sam Fainu, Bula...all were good. Skelton on his early tackle runs was good.

There really wasn't a lot of 'bad' in this game. 2 teams, up for the fight. Once Latu left the field in questionable circumstances, and players got shifted- Drinkwater took advantage of the confusion. He's a great player.

I’m not hard to please at all. In my post I named 4 guys who did exactly that.
Luai is our big name premiership player. He is our marquee. He is certainly playing better than he was for the first 3/4 of the season, but he hasn’t been great and he’s not winning us games with his leadership and playmaking.
Adam Douehi of all people has been far more influential and had a far greater impact on our performances and victories.
That game was ours today. It should not have been lost. Marquee players are paid to win these types of games.
