Amazing what a rugby league player with potential can achieve with a Topline coach.

Of that group, I think:

+ Parker is improving exponentially;
+ Croker. I feel bad for LG, but wow;
+ Taufua has been better, by a ways.

Suli deserves a wrap also, not the finished product but improving.

I was into Elliot in that first half, for what I deemed as half arse returns of the ball. What ever Des said to him at half time worked. Huge improvement in the second half.

And once you see the 2nd half ,you have to agree Suli is coming on in leaps and bounds also.

So proud of all the players. Not many superstars but a team full of champions. Congratulations must go to all the players and coaching staffs especially Des.

Elliott,Whilst Def not a game changer or an attacking weapon ,He was safe today and made some try saving tackles.He doesnt instill me with confidence everytime he touches the ball ,buts hats off too him today ,he did good.

Agree except for fatboi Suli. He was poor again today. Btw, I am comparing Suli to normal centres, not his own form.

Yeah ,they dont have to look over their shoulders worrying about that fat bearded gay fitness trainer from last year.

Yeah, haven't seen that. Must have been amazing going by what I'm reading.

DES. He has developed a champion team, 80 minute specials

Far from amazing ,but a lot safer and more dependable .Def his best game for us by a long shot.

Suli was poor, slow and caught out of position in attack and defence, there was a good effort patch in the second half where he tried to lift the team defensively in the Raiders half which is good to see.

 

[robbiea]

Suli Was hitting the ball up pretty hard with speed in the 2nd half also.

Awesome. I wanted a big game from him and he was poor in that first half, and also last week, so I'm excited to see it.
