3 2 1 vs Cowboys

[pawsandclaws1]

Thought Api played strongly May and Pole also were much improved. Sukkar tried hard as did Seyfarth. Really however I felt an unbiased assessment would place their pack over ours with their middles and Taumalolo running hard and making huge pcms. Their edges also outplayed ours. Bunty did well and ran hard.
Our back 3 were strong and Luai played well and had a dig, Herbert also. Madden was better this week but is still an average option when you look at halves throughout the comp.

The big difference is the Cowboys have two really good centres who offer quite a bit with the ball.

100%- also their edge players in that similar channel were strong. Our current group (without KPP and May) have nothing in that very important area of the game in A or D. Sam F has not been the same player since his return.

Yes they are great attacking centres, however a weak point in defence. Even we were easily stripping them for numbers

Sukkar has really made that second row position his own. It is great to see a young player incrementally improve. It will be great for our depth next year when Pearce-Paul returns.

How good is Sukkar! I love what he's about, runs hard, makes good contact in defense. Definitely a keeper.

Just saying I thought Herbert had a great game , ran hard and his defence was good , think it was his best game of the season

He has actually been good for about a month now, is giving a red hot crack, cant ask for more, i reckon his shoulder is busted

Yup agree about Madden, tried hard, but he has no spark about him what so ever

Sukkar was nice and physical. Had a couple of tough calls go against him, Karen Atkins was policing him hard.

Bula looks more dangerous when he is willing to pass. He needs to learn that passing opens up opportunities for you later in the game, because defenders will hold off on you longer if they think you are a passing option.

I just think he really needs to be more involved and hit the line at top pace , FOR me he looks like he waiting for the contact rather than pushing through the line

There is a player there just needs to get involved more , and to use the big frame when hitting the line , but he’s young

I noticed there appeared to be a plan to get him more involved with the ball against the Cowboys. He was tackled without the ball running into a gap very close to the Cowboys' line but Atkins believed that to be okay. Runners need to be aware he has a great offload. This off-season I hope he works hard on his conditioning, agility and speed. He has the potential to be a very good player and it is good Marshall had the foresight to see it.

Some players are too good for reserve grade, but need to warm up to first grade. Cracking the NRL is tough and these guys are only young.
