AFB who?

 

[Technical Coach]

Was over valued and looking to be on his last legs anyway injury wise.

AFB has two or three decent seasons(at most) left in him if he manages his weight(to take pressure off his knees) and has a good attitude.

Admire the motor on AFB but not the way he ran at the defensive line and lacking consistent fast play the balls that a body and leg drive he has should be able to achieve more often----yeah AFB has obvious qualities you can't ignore but i would not have retained him.

Keppie, wow. Marty , a machine. Sipley a monster! And Pesaka, well and truly has arrived.
Haumole and of course Jake were also fantastic,. The forwards had to stand up if we were to win this game. They did. Well done

I think the forwards stood out more defensively than anything, some strong ball and all tackles and working hard.

I'm still not happy with our go forward sets,(don't care if stats suggest our yardage is good) at times there is too much plodding or sideways movement----not playing fast and direct enough until Tom saves the set of six with thrust up the middle.

Every one of them were unbelievable today.

Made the Eels pack look ordinary.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Keppie was fantastic. I doubted he had the mobility to control the Parra edge forwards. He simply destroyed them.

 

[MissKate]

I think Shipley took some angry pills before the game - awesome.

Keppie was channeling Jake, busy busy busy

 

[hozza]

Last 6 weeks our forwards have been outstanding. Running with sh!t load of purpose and constantly bending the line. Love it.

 

[G-land Express]

Saddler egged on Brown and then just smashed him. Hit man!!

 

[Dion Johnson]

Very impressive today, considering the experience that they have.

Back it up next week against the Knights and they earn a well deserved week off to rest the niggles.

 

[The better Robbo]

I'd say our forwards are the toughest in the comp! We hit hard, we have good line speed and we show aggression. Its the ultimate combination and other teams will know they're in for a tough game coming up against us. Isn't it a far cry from eating the season.

 

[NYEagle]

Aloiai who?

how lucky are we to have this workhorse to come back as well.

Our forwards are just improving game by game. Set the platform for our sets and outside backs so well. And then we add Aloiai back to that forward rotation. So exciting.
