***LIVE GAME THREAD***

A few questions answered tonight. Suli looks good, hooker may well be a strength for us despite all expectations. Teddy huge. Noffa and Moses weren't flunking it last year. Back row is better than expected,

The big one for me, and the thing that has hamstrung us in the past, the forwards ran hard all night. We have done this in the past for certain games, and failed to be consistent. If we win round 3 off the back of a positive attitude I'll back us for the 8\. For now, so far so good.

It's called Rugby League 2017…...over complicate things just for the sake of it.

One on one situations you want your most elusive players there, not their head buried in a scrum.

Suli at fault for mine, has to stay a few steps behind.

I really dont think the winger could stop that play mate.

Not when he is in line with the kicker, but he is normally a center so gets half excused. He made plenty of errors, but gets a pass mark overall.

Very harsh. A couple of unfortunate drop balls but he was great. His decision making in defence was great and his carries strong. He should have been deeper though when Brooks thew the forward pass to him.
 
We kicked goals and got repeat sets. Great improvement. ET is a gun and Teddy/Noffa are freaks. Now I'm excited for the season ahead!!
 
Good win, at least up to the 40 min point.
good start for Suli, goodbye Rankin
Teddy was his usual self
The Souths forwards especially The Burghi took our mantle as soft, for this game anyway, and
Idris is a waste of a number.
Our right side is still a major liability though
 
Many are very happy with Sue in the back row and he did have a good game , but it was really concerning to see Sutton get on his outside

If Sutton can get on your outside , you have to be concerned

Tedesco's head should never have been in the scrum

Bad call

Moving Cook to 9 has certainly changed things for them

Yes. Farah is old hat.
Give it half a dozen rounds before he starts from the bench.

I wouldnt be surprised if he retires mid season. He was woeful in the first 20 mins.

Worst player on the field and then some.

Playing behind a very badly beaten pack wouldn't have helped his cause. I think he should play at half while Reynolds is out.

Don't agree the pack was to blame. In fact, Robbie's speed (or lack of) out of dummy half was one of the reasons our forward could dominate. He was 3 seconds behind everyone else. It reminds me Anasta when he played with us.
 
Very much a work in progress, but a solid win. Suli made a few mistakes, but crikey the raw talent is there.

As for Tedesco, he's at a point where he's beyond praise. Man of steel.
 
Tedesco again proved he is something else, he can save tries, assist breaks and tries, his every run made Souths panic.
Nofoaluma simply destroyed their left side defence, one of his best games.
Woods was again at his royal best, 179 m from 17 runs, played 58', 23 tackles and 3 missed tackles, another insirational captains knock.
Lawrence, C-K, Sue, Seumanufagai, McIlwrick, Grant, and Taylor had very good game.
Brooks and Moses were very good with short and long kicks, Souths was panicking whenever they had the ball.
Suli was solid, a few unfrced errors, but willing and strong runner, Rankin shall have no chance against him.
We outrun Souths by 400 m, and destroyed their big pack, very good attitude, if only we can play other teams the way we play our 'bunnies' Souths

Playing behind our pack used to be the excuse, now he's supposedly behind a monster pack .
I think a few on here will finally see his form a bit more clearly now that he's wearing different colours.
He looked old and slow and i can only imagine what he plays like when the blue jersey carrot gets removed.

1st of seen of Suli.
Pleasantly surprised. Hope he keeps it up.
Teddy again proved he is on his way towards a very special career.
