Bro I think you need to relax. We are talking about a ball game.

The kid is as tough as they come. He gets smashed every game and gets up again . Bula can learn a few things from him when he dogged that run back and passed to him. As much as I hated losing last night and you can put a lot of it on Makasini, I don’t think you can drop him. It would mentally Kill him. His upside is enormous he will be a gun for us . Short term pain for long term gain

If it will mentally kill him to drop him the guy is weak as piss that shouldnt be in firsts to begin with. He is a kid now playing with adults that needs to go through some pain and hard learning curves and prepare for a 15 year first grade career. If he is gonna sook about it, you wouldnt want that character anywhere near your team. He needs to be blooded correctly. Be a Matt Hayden, a Damien Martyn. Play a few and go back and learn your craft and come back to be a legend. The kid needs more time to develop and the last thing you want to do is Matt Groat the bloke. Show some strength, take the hits, take the hard punches get off your ass and get on with life, come back bigger and better. Its a long time to spend the rest of your life being a concreter or option B, dedicate yourself and play grade for 15 years with those $millions contracts.

Bula dogged a pass? It was a sitter for makasini? What planet are some of you on?

This is part of sport. Sometimes a young kid will have a shocker. It either breaks them or they learn and grow from it.

I remember being 18 years old, having just left high school and started playing cricket with adults, I dropped a bunch of catches in one of my first games and lost the game for my team. I felt like crap, had a sulk, then I was motivated to improve my fielding.

Last night looked like a kid who got overwhelmed by the situation and forgot his basics, like watching the ball into your hands, setting your feet under the high ball, being aware of the sideline, etc. I back him to come good, but he needs a week or two off to relax and emotionally recover.

Bula was carrying a shoulder injury, he absolutely should have passed it for Maka to take the run. Bula stuffed up by not passing it sooner, he looked like he was gonna run it then all of a sudden passed it. I was yelling, "pass it mate, protect your shoulder"...then bang...game over haha, so blame me for the loss I reckon

Wouldn't be the first time a couple of my stalkers would blame me mate lol

Recall Justin Hodges, Darius Boyd and Dylan Edwards having similar shockers as kids. I hope Benji gives him an opportunity to atone for that one.

He actually looks a bit like Suaali'i who had some similar teething problems coming into grade. They both dont dog the hard stuff but they run so upright making themselves big targets, probably a product of just being able to run over kids their age.

He should go down to Cup with with some really clear goals set for him by Benji on both sides of the ball. I think Benji being Benji will keep backing him in though

 

[upthetigers]

We might see Bulla rested with a shoulder injury..,Adam D moves to fullback, Jock and Jerome in the half's,Big Mac reserve grade and Tino or Skelton on the wing

I'd rather Turuva at fullback

My son in primary school said Bula is heading left to pass it to Maka

Kid didn’t lose us the game, he made mistakes that cost us some points for sure ! but look at it all in the big picture, we hardly score points on repeat sets, our attack anywhere from inside the broncos 30 last night was just a mess, let the broncos walk over the line with 30 seconds to go in the first half, less structure and direction with madden out, I have no problems keeping this bloke in the team list every week, we are still building pretty well, he will learn with his mates on the field, these young fellas are what we need to build this team into a consistent group for the tigers, not just this year but seasons moving forward

 

[Fainu Brothers]

Staggs made him look like a kid

This. It’s such a BS cop out blaming Bula. He dropped a basic pass that a 9 old would’ve caught and had little to no pressure on him.

Let’s cut the crap and call it what it was: One of the worst performances by a winger I’ve ever seen in our colours and it ultimately cost us the game.

Yes he’s a kid but he had 6 errors last night, most them very costly. And he’s been far from great this season so far. He also had defensive lapses and blew a basic try last week against the Knights when instead of making the simple pass to his winger, he tried to hero it and that led to the double movement try.

Give him a break this week then back to NSW Cup the week after, with Tavana coming back in. If he wants to sook over that, he can piss off to Yawnion.

We lost that game in the 5 minutes before half time when we dropped the intensity in the middle not because 1 player made a few errors.
