  • Also, Don Young needs to straighten up his carries. Kept going sideways and was pushed back because of it.

    • The Cheese is not aging well at the chooks , he's more foreskin then blue

      • I’d like the halves to run it. Take a tackle every now and then.

        • You could tell in the first 10 min the team was lethargic and not up for it
          the forwards got dominated
          the Halves were horrible - Keary especially
          the backs average
          should be bought Whyte into the game earlier and longer and b smith as well back on the 2md half!
          Only positive was we played so bad but still got to 3 tries all - let’s hope all the crap got out this week
          s smith should be at 6 with Watson coming onto 14 which is exciting
          hopefully b smith can take suaali spot soon as well!
          1-2 people on the edge with selections might spark a better performance next week

          • See reserve grade won easily
            how did Conner, Egan butch and Gus go?

            • Very poor ball handling cost us dearly and coupled with Toddy Smith the souths man smashing us with 5th tackle 6 agains and penalties we did well to keep it as close as we did.I thought the positive to come out of the game was our defence under constant pressure.
              I much prefer Billy Smith over Suaalii at left centre and Nat starting with Watson in the 14. My biggest fear this year is that jwh has gone the extra year to break records and will limit minutes of May and Whyte who look stronger and faster.
              Big one next week against the neighbours and we need to improve immensely in the fundamentals to get the win.

                Pretty tough to make any impact when Todd allowed them to slow the play the ball, with limited opportunities to run with one marker he put a dent in their defensive line when he ran. Sandon Smith is too small to defend in the middle of the ruck and Watson is much stronger defensively .

                  Always measured and on point.
                  Summed up well, the halves can't get any rhythm under the pressure they were under today

                  • Narrowly beaten by a good team at their home ground . We've got more improvement in us than they have . We'll beat them next time .! Jeez it's good to have a flying finisher on the wing . Many more tries to come for Domonic !

                      The cheese is way off his best form but seems way off recapturing it. At the moment he looks like square peg round hole at the chooks imo
                      Struggling to find any impact like he did at the Storm because they were more settled in the halves and he could wait for his moment .

                        And he was close to having a couple more as well. Could well have been a hatrick on his debut.

                        • Like many have commented so far, not our day... uncharacteristic errors, drop balls, pushing passes, compounded by extra defensive sets... no flow in our game, energy sapped by errors & 6 agains... Manly a bit more clinical & held the ball better... the Turbo brothers were in everything & I thought Olakau'atu a real threat, Their middles beat us to the punch. Brooks has a new lease of life by the looks, the change has been good for him... but the game was still there for the taking. We will be better... because no one knows more than the group itself, that they are better than what was shown today, & they will demand it of themselves. Moving on from RD2 & the Vegas hangover.

                            Fair call , he's never going to be a scheming dummy half and unless we punch holes in the opposition so he can go at one marker his role is diminished. One underrated part of his game is his defence and along with Radley they hit well above their weight in the middle of the park. Agree he hasn't looked as comfortable as he did at the storm.

                            • 19 errors isn’t great but not surprising with our team
                              worst past turbo looked dangerous on the mid field bombs but we didn’t give ourselves a chance to give the tallest backline a chance on the air

                                Yet he’s being bagged for his game today by a few on here
