Bit of a rough game but 3 players that prob stood out to me,

3 Kautoga - Dangerous every touch and seems to be growing in confidence each game.

2. Kelma - one of his better games of the season but probably getting 4 weeks for that crusher. He's built into the season a little as it's gone on.

1. Sean Russell. - building a good combination with ado carr and seems to just be one of our more solid players lately. Can't really hate on him as much

Kelma crusher was only bad because JDB reacted to it. There was no intent. All accidental. But the MRC will obviously do anything to fuck us over.

I did not think Russel was good. Suli got on his outside way too often when Dragons shifted the ball. Russel is quick but acceleration is slow.

  Fair call, I wasn't the biggest Russell fan but he does give it everything he's got. Iongi is a superstar in waiting another great game for him

    Russel is a solid depth outside back no doubts. But he has played too many games than he should due to injuries/suspensions

      Russell, this year in particular, has been the luckiest player due to injuries. Playing all but one game due to either JAC suspended, Lomax hurt or Simonsson hurt. Now Penisini suspended he will get Penrith and Canberra games even if Simonsson is back.

    Not a fan either but Russell has been improving slowly. He'd make a decent back up as an Opacic style player - just needs to defend and set up his winger. Leave the flashy stuff to the better players.
    
    Penisini has been a bigger disappointment so far in my opinion since he is our starter. Would still like us to recruit a strike centre to pair with Simmo instead.

      Russell is your true blue toiler and quite frankly could be an Eel for a while as i doubt many teams would offer him better than Parra, maybe might get a spot at like PNG to start regularly but also could see him just staying with Parra past 2026 and being that mr fix it in backline. He is reliable without being nothing special.

  Iongi was amazing and gets better and better. The offload to Russell was class.
