It was a kick return Ink.
Bula looked very ginger when he received the ball but instead of passing to Makasini right away he ran like he was going to make the return himself, then passed to Makasini a couple of metres before the kick chase line.
Both players at fault really

Agreed.
Makasini had to be dropped. Benji needed to be consistent and has been. Well done to him.

I am not to worried about the dropped ball that's a mental thing I was more worried about being caught out of position a few times
For a young kid he's doing amazing I just think it's concentration for the full 80 minutes give him a rest let him relax his body and mind then pump him again for a few weeks then give him another rest buid him up make him stronger for a successful career not just burn him out in a season or two
I have to disagree I’m afraid. If Bula wasn’t worried about his shoulder he doesn’t throw the pass. He was clearly avoiding contact. There was nothing on. To my observation Makasini was moving into position to take the first dummy half run just like had happened after every other kick. Sure you could say he should have still caught it and after the week before he should expect ridiculous passes to be thrown at him but Bula isn’t innocent here IMO.
He means the defensive line I think. That passing closer to the defenders provides the best chance of a line break.
Thanks BD
There was potentially something on.
Excuse the drawing but red line represents bulas run. The white circles are the broncos defenders and the yellow circle is taylan may. If you watch this passage of play, there is a chance of makasini using his body weight to knock over mariner and create some space down that left side for taylan may who is jogging back on side.
And the other photo - there is no excuse for not catching that ball. They werent rushing up to put a hit on him.

Definitely should've been dropped, but he was also definitely deserving of his spot in round 1.
Preseason wasn't that long ago.
He killed it: So much so everyone was saying give him rookie of the year already.
He's going to be a very, very good player.
I think it seems he was given a lot of grace to start playing well, but I also think a young kid with his clear potential should get a couple more games to try to click.
Right decision, right time, but did earn his spot.

I think he was mentally fatigued rather than overwhelmed. You could see it in his runs. He just didn’t go with aggression as well.
The kid will be back and has a huge future.
