Say goodbye to Jordan Miller's kicking licence. Ended up with the ball tackle 5 and just booted it straight to the winger. Following set has Bunnies score. Down 18 to 6. We are creating enough chances but keep dropping it. Tupou looks good on his return.
Say goodbye to whomever passed him the ball on the last. Players like Miller and Twal should NEVER touch the ball on the last.

It was comically bad. I'm not sure whether Valavatu threw the pass to Miller but his service from dummy half was worse than Aeroflot. And he made some crucial handling errors too.

What are your thoughts on Kit ?
I know he’s still very young for a forward, but he doesn’t seem to be even close to NRL level in the games I’ve watched him play this season ?

Valevatu is a Ron Massey player. We just arent good judges of talent. We even actually named him Captain!! Why is he playing cup? It's been obvious for years that vaihu does not have sufficient quality yet he's played a lot of Cup this year. Another Ron Massey level player
 
While Naden isn't very popular among Tigers fans and for good reason, I would pick him over Mason at fullback this week. He is safer under the high ball and to his credit, has been putting in ever week in reserves in a way he never did in first grade.

As for the reserve grade team generally, the lack of variation in the forward pack beggars belief. Almost every one of them is undersized and nuggety, good for a couple of strong carries a game only, and very passive in defence. It's like the club set out to recruit 6 Kit Lauliliis. The irony is that the best of the nuggets in Chris Faagutu can't get a start in reserves for love or money.
 
Different week, same brainfarts from the ressies. This game resembled their season from the other games I've seen. Dumb errors, stupid ill-discipline, and an inability to ice their opportunities. The sad thing is this was probably the strongest team they fielded this season based on top 30 and development personnel. Ngutlik, who had a sensational game against Newcastle with his set starts setting up the win, had to make way for these guys. And I'm surprised by the part-timers they kept in the team, most of whom had shockers. I think it confirms the wooden spoon now.

This grade is depth and there really needs to be NRL ready players in this group. The only guys I can say who truly are - Fainu and Johannssen. The rest are still a WIP or need to be moved on. The big focus for recruitment has to be size, athleticism, tackling ability, and an attitude to bust a gut in defence.

Latu and Bud out, replaced by Valevatu and Naden

Blacktown have named a strong team despite a few missing. This one could be ugly.

Is Faagutu on the way out? Or maybe they think he would get more out of winning in that flegg side? Surprising not to see him there.
