Sam Fainu was great today. He needs to get the razor out looks more imposing bald.

Man what's happened with To'a and AD? I mean have they started eating wheatbix in 2025?
In fairness to AD, every so often he would have an absolute gun game and ace it. But it would be 1 game in 5. Sure his kicking sucked tonight, but he is developing a consistency that we really need in a center.

I never thought I would say "lock in AD and To'a at Center". I am saying it now.

Yep he got heavily involved today and made his mark with some great shots. He also showed great desperation in defence a few times when the half break was on.

Fainu smashing Crossland and Seyfarth screaming at him afterwards might be my favourite play of the whole game!

Their entire attitude in defence seems to have changed. Blokes racing up, looking to put shots on and force error and doing it effectively

They're celebrating every good tackle like it's a try. Love to see them sliding in defence too. Credit to the boys and JohnMorris!

AD was kicking everything before injury. Now can’t hit the side of a barn.

I really like T’oa this year. Most improved for me so far

Is this for real - or AI generated??

Galvin is a work in progress - but had some very poor moments!

While Jahream was outstanding!

May again did big minutes - but Pole was far more dynamic & effective in his two stints!

Pole's impact in defence was outstanding!

Api is always very good - but this was not one of his best games - in particular taking the hit-up on the 5th tackle was very poor...

Turuva was exceptional as usual - and his impact on the team is highly underrated.

Both Fainu brothers made huge plays - and Royce monstered the Knights forwards when unleashed.

Excellent team win - but regardless of missed conversions - we left another 12-16 points on the field via poor execution.

Sutton is corrupt!

I’m getting concerned Snidest as I agree with your comments 💯.
I acknowledge you are a good analyst and judge of player talent, but be honest has Adam Doueihi and Alex Twal both exceeded your expectations so far this season ?

3. Fonua. Is coming out of the shadows of his rightly touted front row partner.
2. May. Just keeps doing it. The guy's a machine. I will lock him in now for podium points next week.
1. Samuela. Injury has hindered him to date this year. Ran with much more freedom today. Sometimes these wide running big fellas take a while to hit their straps during a full season of NRL. Big Sam will be better for the run and will be at his most damaging as the year progresses.

Good thing about Sam is even though he hasn't been at his best this season, the effort plays are still there. Good signs now.

Sione is not just good depth he is a genuine first grader

 

[Betterdays22]

Watching the game live I agree with the consensus.

3) Pole - looks bigger and faster on both sides of the ball than when i've watched him previously. Real physical presence tonight

2) To'a - great string of games and looking a genuine threat in attack and solid in defence

1) One of the Fainus. Sam started to beat tackles and push through the line again and a bully in Defence. Sione held our middle up really well on the rotation.

 

[Batmans Parents]

Sione is impressing more and more. Him, Hunt and Bird are forming a formidable bench with TDS.

Sione is having a great season and looks like he could easily take on more minutes if required.
I would be looking to extend his contract with us.
Fonua Pole is becoming a brilliant ball runner.

3 Bula
2 Pole
1 Turuva - with Coates probably form winger in the competition

May great as usual but pretty well every forward was good. Starford Toa has been good in most games and outplayed some big-name opponents today

 

[Mccarry]

3. Pole huge metres and intensity
2. Toa having a huge season. I think he owned best.
1. Very hard again. Luai this week, amazing defence.

Could have gone Bula, any of the other starting pack, Sione, Bird was invaluable with his versatility, Api.
Unhappy with Galvin and Jeral's hammy

Seconded.
