.....Of course he might do better if our players were to throw him decent passes he actually could catch, and the refs stopped opposition players running him off the ball all the time.

Our handling and confidence have been so bad this year that we shouldn't have to consider the influence of dodgy refereeing. And you can leave aside all the dodgy looking calls against us as bad luck - BUT..... the Bunker's preposterous assertion that Fergo fouled Morris leading to Mitchell's try disallowance, followed by Tony Archer's even more preposterous public backing of the decision, are enough to convince me there is still a vendetta by the NRL

I guess then if Robbo had given Archer a gob full via the press then he would have copped another 40k fine. Why is it that Archer spins his shyte and nobody seems to go question him. Of course he'll defend his refs and bunker - it's his effing job. oh yeah, btw, don't forget the offside that wasn't.

Robinson and Politis made the decision to out Cummins and in that press conference as the serial cheat he is, not in exactly those words.

Has it backfired? Well, we haven't got Cummins again yet, but the other main target of that presser, the Bunker, have taken aim at us big time. As I alluded to, you could take all the adverse decisions and disallowed tries against us and put them down to bad luck, but that one Mitchell/Fergo/Morris decision - they went too far with that one and declared themselves as corrupt, it was just too outrageously and obviously contrived and biased.

Maybe it was a deliberate statement by Archer, Patten and co - "you think we've got it in for you? Well cop this clanger of a decision - and there's nothing you can do about it. We are untouchable".

lol just remember y'all used to talk about SKD in this fashion. Look where he is now.

And Tupou is better then SKD was back then.

I honestly don't think he has it in him, Jennings made him look good and has looked like a lost puppy since he left every aspect of his game is not first grade standard.

12 from 7 now

12 from 7 now

Missed tackles??

[Headless Chook]

There was nothing wrong with his game at all today, his carries were strong and rarely got pushed back, don't think he came up with an error all game

[The Axe]

HC, did you see his attempted tackle? He has no speed in the PTB on a hit up

[Headless Chook]

Yeah forgot about the miss on Nofaluma

[Tommy Smith]

Worst tackle attempt I've seen all year.

Tbh he didn't even try to tackle Nofo.

He's a soft mofo.

Good game apart from that but i can't overlook a 2009-esque tackle attempt.

[Bigchook]

I love tupou. But wtf was he doing when nofaluma almost scored? Could have been a game changer.

He must of seen Friend's one on one effort on Tedesco and thought it was acceptable?
