Which guy?

Around the 12 minute mark. The guy in the middle, Josh i think his name is. Sorry if im wrong though, im hopeless with names.

There was whisper of Blaize Talagi

Might be right.

Thanks for the update, I didn’t get a chance to watch any of today’s game.
He is only 20y.o which I think was the youngest player in the game, but good tj now the opinion of someone who watched the game live.
Who were the best players on the field?

Sorry mate just finished watching Panthers v Roosters on tv.

In my opinion fullback Banjo Walker was dangerous every time he had the ball. Trey Brown controlled the game pretty well at hooker and kicked well. The PNG guys always run hard and tackle hard but some of them have hands like feet. V

Personally, I hope not, he is okay and certainly not anything special, he's small (lacks stength) and struggles with defence and gets tackled too easily. I haven't seen him do too much even in this Panthers team, he was dropped mid year, and he wouldn't be that cheap.

We have enough halves already, let them fight it out and hopefully we find a good combination.

Spend the money eslewhere if we have any

Did you watch hom today? He was very physical and strong with every carry. He had a very good game under immense pressure.

Plenty of people were regularly bringing it up well before me.
I don’t know if it would work or be a realistic option, what I do know it our attack is suffering as a result of having props with very minimal speed off the mark and very minimal attacking threat playing as our 13 for 80 minutes each game.
Obviously Benji agrees this is an issue as he was wanting to play Doueihi at 13 and he gave Heath Mason some time there at the back end of the season.

If you possibly learnt anything from last 4 games ( well any game ) is how important defence is
And you want to stick someone whose defence isn't acceptable at lock
I'll stick to my initial argument with you on this subject ....you think attack is more important than defence
And again I'll ask the same questions you ignored last time
Rate Doueihi as a lock against the 16 other locks in the NRL
And secondly rate his defence against the other 16 locks in the NRL
When you accept he is the worst option in both categories....maybe ...just maybe you might accept why it is such a dumb idea

Could he play four in for defence? Maybe at a pinch?

At one of the 17 others clubs next season....yeah sure
We have tried him at every position bar wing know the back line over many years and his defence sucks
He has openly defied the coach .....allegedly defied another coach for the exact same reason
His attack revolves around 20 carries a game where he runs across field and cramps the backline ....or cuts back inside when he should be spreading the ball
Cut him loose .....for everyone's sake
