Can't stand him but I agree with Ennis in commentary. I thought Feagai overran the ball.

Cook needs a rest. WTF is Liddle in the team for.

Montoya v Feigai is a mismatch

I said earlier in the week JDB won't need to carry the pack this year. Maybe I was wrong. Once again, when he is off the middle defence goes to pieces.

Started very well but dropped off a few tackles as the game went on.

Negatives:
I know it's only one half of football.- Really need that big bodied prop
jodragon40 keeps talking about. Couchmans are excellent but not as good at prop starting the game. Much better to bring them on after the first exchanges. - Feagai hasn't been good but not his fault making a mess of those bombs. There needs to be pressure put on Burton. Otherwise plenty of wingers and fullbacks in plenty of teams will be drop those bombs. But his general play hasn't been good either. Haven't looked at stats but I guess CTs run metres will be about double.
- Halves, Illias in particular haven't fired a shot.
Positives:
- JDB keeps on keeping on.
- Leilua is fired up. Looks strong. Might have had a look at Nick T and Halangahu in NSW Cup and feels pressure to step up his game.
- I like what Gutho is doing. Hanging around, always ready for the ball.
- CT and Suli have had plenty of tough carries.

Thats enough for me.

Told you they would target Illias/Su'a on the edge and they did. If your not going forward you simply cannot lay the attacking platform and execute your structures.

Was Luciano hooked? I thought he was one of our better players.

Holmes can't get involved due to the halves not giving him any ball.

Is Cook going to play 80min?

Settle down CT, look at the scoreboard.

Flanno did not bring Liddle here. Bringing Cook here was a kick in the face for Liddle imo, as he has been one of our best every season as our starting hooker.

Maybe Liddle should be on for most of the game and Cook come on to give him a rest for 20min.

Hope not. WTF is happening over this now Molo saga.

Liddle rarely misses a tackle. Had been averaging about 40/45 a game before this season

He is against most NRL wingers.

Might need to consider Kyle to halfback, LKT 5/8.

I think we can be pretty sure, unless he is injured, Finau is in next week and Feagai is out.

You are sacking Ilias after one match. He was terrific in the last trial. KF is not the play maker that Ilias is.
