On todays performance, Luke is a bit of a liability particularly coming up against Johnston.

I'd like to see
2. Makasini
3. Turuva
4. Herbert
5. Skelton

Turuva or Makasini could swap, but Laulilli can't play with his handling performance today.

Just my 2 cents which is about all it's worth.

Makasini and Laulili's edge could be in some trouble up against Walker, Fifita, Latrell and Johnstone next week... hope Benji does some rearranging through the week. Seems we are a centre short in the squad though

I think you have to race Toa back in . I love Turuva but I think tell would give him a bath. KPP Will handle Fifita IMO . I actually think it will be the other way around . I can see our forward second phase killing guys like Fifita . He was very lazy in defence last night . After all these years he still hasn’t fixed it .
Best edge running forward I’ve ever seen when he’s on form . But just soo uncommitted in defence generally .

On paper a right edge defence of Doueihi, KPP, Skelton and Turuva match up ok against them and should cause the Rabbitohs plenty of trouble if we get our fair share of ball.
Cody Walker looks like and old man, particularly when defending. I would be instructing Douehi to be a ball hog for the night and run a combination of he and KPP at Walker and Fifita as much as possible,

And bait Cody all night long ,, tell him he can’t fight his way out of a paper bag, seems to always take the bait and lash out and go right off his game

It’s just a bad message to drop a kid from a winning team . It mean Everytime someone makes a mistake they’re gonna get the hook. It’s a huge reason why Newcastle fell apart under O’Brien . He was just captured by the moment every single match .

Yeah but to be fair he started on the wing ahead of Skelton, and Skelton got an opportunity today due to May's injury and outperformed Luke. So it's not just dropping the kid without seeing his direct competitor outshine him. I'd prefer a more specialist centre cover Taylan next week against Latrell

To'a or Herbert have to come into cover Taylan
 
Brain dump.

I just checked, and the ref missed what should have been 10 in the bin in the first few minutes - there were 3 x 6 agains in the one movement.

It also looks like the team was practising set pieces in the off season. A few of those moves from the scrum looked top notch. There was one scrum that was called back but our boys were so confident they simply ran the same play again.

Terrell was solid without standing out. I thought he was punching the line a bit more today. I love when he gets the ball in broken play the way he treats it like a game of touch. Its only a matter of time before he puts someone through a hole or scores himself.

I will eat my words, Royce Hunt actually had an impact. I am still not convinced, but he looked better than last year thats for sure.

Samuela is a beast and only getting better. Sign him up ASAP.

KPP, 2 metre ball playing backrower with an offload. What that an astute signing... at what like 600k?

Douhei played at the line without fear. Latu has alot of catching up to do if hes going to replace him. His try was a result of his persistence testing the line.

Jarome looks back to his best and a far better 6 than 7. Id take him over Galvin anyday.

Turuva... I didnt know he had it in him to play centre so well.

Twal had one of the best games I've ever seen him play.

Api... to think there were people here were wanting to push tds in ahead of him. Today he showed us why hes paid what he is.

Skelton, i thought he was great. We should be resigning him for the right price asap..hes solid and sure can score a try.

Seyfarth did a job, I think he will play some of his best footy this year coming off the bench this year.

Makasini was never going to live up to the hype of the panthers match, but he didnt look out of place. I am suprised a kid so young has been up to it.

Bula did his job despite some of the criticism here... today it proved to me that no matter if he intends to be here in 2028 or not, we activate that clause for 27... we would be absolutely stupid to let him go.

Pole does a job, but I didn't notice him much. He and Royce hunt had very similar stats.

Lukey boy, theres something electric about him... I see why he was selected... its just the errors.

Sionie, didnt really notice him. Similar to Pole, probably just did a job..

Taylan May, only played 15 mins but we know he is the goods.

what a game.
