Not a bad side

[Kiwi Eagle]

At the end last night we had this sitting on the sidelines

1. Trbojevic
2. Taufua
3. Walker
4. Suli
5. Hopoate
6. Croker
7. DCE
8. Fonua-Blake
9. Koroisau
10. Sipley

Nearly a pretty decent run on 13 there, toss Hodkinson, Funa, Kaio, Metcalf etc into the mix and nearly half our 30 was out

Great efforts all round at the mo

 

[Heckenberg]

That side could win a premiership

It would be interesting to see if there is a trend to more injuries in NRL, or maybe we are just having a bad run. Correction, a terrible run.

Looking at Suncorp surface, I am not sure it will hold up that good especially when 3 games are going to be paid on it today.

The real problem was the game time injuries.

The players just could not cover the ever changing positional switches

So proud of this team. I am not as delighted with wins as I am with pride in the jersey. You need the latter to have the former.

Case in point... Siro started at #6, then moved out to second row, and I have no idea where he finished.

The whole team last night deserves a medal, that’s commitment right there!!

Manly is back, in a big way!!

I felt sorry for our forward pack acting as fill in centres.

Perhaps they'll stop teasing our backs and grow to appreciate their speed and agility along the edges

Given that most of the tries were scored from bad fullback positioning on a kick, and our attack just didn't quite have the fluency, if you add Tommy Turbo to that side I reckon we would have won. I also thought the Suli injury was the turning point for us, he was playing really well.

We may be wounded, we may be depleted, we may be on our last legs, but this team continues to battle and battle and that makes me so proud of them!!

I like Elliott for his effort and he is a reasonable sub for the occasional game however time and time again he is out of position for kicks etc. Snake & Slater were masters of being in the right place when a kick came through.

Its just not up to standard. The NRL should send on specialists to check it out.

Look at the players we have out and key players as well . It is a testimony to our fighting spirit
