Kevvies best chance may be on the wing for Nofo.

Not on tonights form - Nofo played well - no terrible defensive lapses and a try saver tackle on Winterstein?

I don’t think you can change that backline. Even MWZ has his best game I reckon. Sorry Kev, Reggie’s it is.

can masters plz practice goal kicking???

3 tough kicks with the wind it way it was, can’t be too harsh on him.

Wind was no excuse. Good kickers still don’t miss by much. He couldn’t hit the side of a barn.

jt's kick didnt look like the wind picked up the ball at all and his kick was tougher than masters kicks imo

Agreed. Tui will be back soon.

Matulino and Packer are the perfect front row combo.

I don't know how many times Benji kicked on the fourth tackle but Jesus!! What the heck? Why?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Easily Mats best game of the year.

 

[TIGER]

Good to see Benji back at Leichhardt

I need answers. Even my 10 year old was screaming why why why.

Nah that kick from the sideline for Thurston is his signature kick - he nails them with his natural hook probably 98% of the time.

How good was the Packman’s passion at full time. Dead set I would turn for him.

Just his emotion when celebrating. Was awesome to see.

Awesome to get back in the winning circle and great to have Packer back out there!

The most frustrating thing about tonight is reading all the shite thrown at Benji. His attack and defence was great tonight. His leadership in and around the team is awesome. If he chooses to kick early then bloody accept it - he’s played more top grade footy than any of us so called couch experts and he’s probably following tactics. He has been a huge positive for us this year. Cut him some slack.

Didn't go unnoticed here, he went off when we scored the last try and was pretty pumped congratulating team mates at fulltime.

Great to see and you can tell how infectious he is in the team, I'd be scared to let him down if he was on my side.

Have to agree.
He’s made a few bad decisions but the effort he puts in is uplifting to the team.
Still throw my hands in air with what he does sometimes but I think, overall, he is a big asset to the team.

Can't believe how few accolades Packer got on here - he was massive in this game - he lifted the team so much it wasn't funny. Suddenly all the Matulino (won't say haters) have had to zip there mouths again - one ordinary game in 10 is not too bad.

They all played well or we would not have won - referees were diabolical again (now we can add Sutton to the list of Tiger haters, it is growing at the rate of knotts - not many left) could not buy a penalty out there and do forward passes even exist for our opposition? I remember when the home team got the 50/50 calls, not anymore, not at Leichhardt.

Lastly how good was Leichhardt last night? The atmosphere was sensational, great crowd of nearly 14,000, very vocal (I still have a sore throat) - People that don't want to play games at this ground have rocks in their head.

How good was the Family Man sledge on the hill whenever Bolton got the ball.
