im very very happy with that. good to see pritchard get a game and heres hoping that cordner makes his debut. the best thing for us now is to start giving a few guys a go and continue to improve the core of our squad

[Geohood]

What happened to Mose?

Interested to see how Pritchard goes, seems a genuinely good player and a long term option. Wonder who would drop off the bench if Cordner plays?

[Horry]

Looks better

[Guest]

Glad to see Pritchard get a run, seems like he could be a goer in the top grade. Very much hope Cordner snags one of the bench spots too..

[Guest]

i hope riddell drops off the bench i hate him gives us nothing off the bench plus friend plays 80 mins every week so we dont need a back up hooker

[Guest]

What do we see in Mataka that Smith doesn't??
Good to see Pritchard get a run, but i expect after the game, everyone will bad mouth him, saying that same things as they did for Naughton(who has been very solid IMO), even though he is up against Manu...

[Guest]

mataka is injured same injury as tasi mate or so i have been told and pritchard is good been watching him in nsw cup has been a stand out just needs time long term replacement for mini i think as well

Yeah but to be honest I'm not sure how Naughton got a run in front of Pritchard in the first place... Whether he's part of the 25 or whatever I'm not sure... While he is a solid player, he needs to put on about 10kg before he will be effective in the top grade..

congratulations to Pritchard seen him a few times for Newtown , he has what it takes. Playing out of position though ,not a winger,better suited at fullback..

We will continue to be a joke out wide with J Carney in the centres.

He was hopeless last week.
