When did Tonie Carroll sign with the Magpies?

Have we run out of players that we can’t fill the bench?

Mason to start at fullback, Lobb to bench, Falls in at halfback.
Bailey Hodges on bench + Cup debut for Christian Taupau-Moors off bench.

Why do they insist on playing Mason at fullback when he can't catch.

 

[boonboon]

When Mason had played nsw cup this year we are 3 wins from 13 games, when he hasn't we have won 5, drawn 1 and lost 2 from 8.

Having Flegg and Cup on at the same time sucks. Not sure which one to watch live. Was leaning towards Flegg, but seeing CTM in Cup might sway me over to this game.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

I dream of the day Kurt Falls leaves the club.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

After I bag him, Falls puts on a superlative ball for Mason to score. 30-12.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

We've let the ball go dead off the kick off twice...

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Rabbitohs have dominated the last 20. It's 32-24 with 11 mins to go. A dismal performance by Wests.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Tu'itupou scores off a well-worked backline sweep. That's much better. 36-24.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

42-24 FT. We made hard for ourselves in the second half against what can only be described as a Jim Beam Cup side.

 

[jstigers]

How did Christian Taupau-Moors play? Any potential?

 

[Buttface]

When Mason had played nsw cup this year we are 3 wins from 13 games, when he hasn't we have won 5, drawn 1 and lost 2 from 8.

Quick, he needs a contract extension and a guaranteed spot into the top 30.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Fairly lacklustre performance once again against a depleted Rabbitohs but always good to win nonetheless.

Thought the positives were ...

Heath Mason, some incisive runs and great long-range cover tackle to save a try 5m out. Was found out early under the high ball losing a contest for Souths to score.

Brent Naden, was by far and away our best player in the 1st half with a beautiful pass to put Staines in, produced a try saver & generally class above. Sat out 2nd half so he will be 18th man tomorrow.

Staines, Tui'tupou & Hope, showing they are quality NSW Cup players & worthy of NRL depth.

Bench forwards Vaka Aho, Bailey Hodges & 18yo debutant Christian Taupau-Moors were solid as were Mapapalangi (when moved to 5/8 in 2nd half), Lobb & Luke Laulilii in the 2nd half. Luke was tested under the high ball early in the 1st half & beaten in a couple of contests and made a poor error in the ptb in his own territory, thankfully improved from there.

Was disappointed with our middles in their 1st stint - Taateo, Kit & Rahme - lost the yardage & contact battle, just dominated in that first 10 mins. Taateo did produce a nice crash play try later but I worry about his strength in contact against bigger opponents although he does bring leg speed.

Concerning our back up props got dominated by a depleted South's squad, we have no depth in the props, we definitely need to recruit better in the middle department
