I think it was caryanis who said the game plan was to play conservatively. I assume it'll be the same against the storm and most teams. I think we can play with a bit more freedom but still show respect to the footy. Smart offloads, shifts to edges & support play. Nothing complicated nor too...

Hope we play with a bit more variety in attack, some offloads and early shift out to the edges would be nice.

Like I said, to expect it from Atko this early on in his halfback role is unrealistic on top of kicking, organising & defending demands of his role. Again, burdening the past issue onto him is not going to do him any good. I think it's unfair to expect him to do everything straight away. I'd say...

Bash brothers as one of the callers said. It was a soft penalty too, considering all the dog shots from dogs players were let go. These two, Stewart & Egan are all built for modern day footy. Great nucleus for our pack, just need a few players with a bit more leg speed & power. Another Sele type...

I get it, we all want to win but just like we're being patient with Reed, the same approach needs to be taken for Atko. We've got plenty of ball runners in the team but there's only one good kicker & it's him. We shouldn't put past issues on his shoulders, he shouldn't carry that burden imo...

Let him build into it. If we're relying on our new inexperienced halfback to do everything from the start then we're screwed. Others can also run the ball or be running threats. His long kicking kept us in the game.

lol lkt at 7, he doesn't have a quality kicking game. Atko was superb considering it was his first game at halfback, it's unrealistic to make definite judgments after 1 game. He'll need time but his kicking game was pretty much spot on with depth, hang time & accuracy. His defence was pretty...

From memory we were pretty poor with our challenges last season too.

I'm shocked CT ran for over 200m, I thought he wasn't as powerful as last season with his carries. He wasn't providing leg drive post contact on most of his carries imo. Surely we have someone better than Guler...

I can only assume we planned to get Kerr back onto the field but had the HIA to Suli & also Setu being subbed off for Feagai stuffed up our rotations.

I had no idea Atko had such a massive boot, regularly landed in great areas with awesome hang time too. Our kick chase needs to be better imo. I'm also not sold on the luch/kyle/suli/ct defensive combo, I think they're all a bit too slow laterally. Early days but wouldn't surprise me if Suli &...

refs are fkn cheats

Same here mate. Great to see as footy fans though. Hopefully one day!

How epic is vegas. All the pics and vids are unreal.

wear some longer shorts next time, jesus.
