Been a while since we have been able to do this
3 - Moses > Jeez we missed him
2 - Gutho > Captains knock
1- Hands > was dong everything needed of him. Crisp and quick service. Led the line speed. Cleaned up tackled. Strong first contact. He had a big job because we were getting rolled at times and our big boys were struggling. He had to do all the clean up himself when we normally have Hopgood to help in this. My only concern is if he can do this for a full NRL season. I think there should be games we carry MA on the bench to gives Hands a break. Hands work at DH is tremendous given his games at cup this year have been in the halves.

My 3 goes to gutho, moses also deserves 3 for his level of play but gutho was the inspiration behind tonight's win.
3. Gutho
2. Moses
1. Hands
Would like to see Barret tinker with the dummy half role. Give Hands a breather, Gutho to hooker and Blaize to fullback when the defence is tiring at the back end of games.
Sivo needs to be told he must do double digit hit ups every game. Sitting out there on the wing catching a cold is not what he is paid $550K to do. There's more to being a good winger than catching the final pass and falling over the try line.
Everything sivo does apart from scoring tries needs to be better, his hit ups are embarrassing for a guy with his physique.
I would have talagi playing fullback in reserve grade, he has talent there is no doubt but he has so much more to learn. The only way I see him getting on the field other than injuries is if we are way in front or way behind, you can't trust him in a tight situation.
He didn't fall over the try line for his second try. His hit ups last 2 matches have been fine. He made 160 metres vs bunnies haven't seen last nights stat
Moses
guth
hands
special mention simmo, joe O and carty
I thought junior finally looked interested in playing for the first time in a while. Made some good tackles where he would usually just be too slow.
Moses 3
guth 2
hands or Paulo 1
Hows Gallens form. Wouldnt pay a million for Moses he said in commentary, farkin junkie peptide puncher
Anyway, 3 Moses
2 Hands
1 Gutho
100% agree EA.
Ofahengaue had a blinder at lock.
Our backs had their best game so far.
Lane was good.
All round great team effort.
I am happy you and Eels 95 have recognised Joe O. He has been great.
Can't argue with the 3 picks. Some honourable mentions though,
Kelma - since starting he looks so much more dangerous. Just needs to hold the pill like he did today.
Penisini- absolute beast with the ball and the silky flick. 2 great sliding defensive reads.
Joffa - he's probably been our moat consistent forward this year. Goes under the radar. Doesn't miss tackles and makes his metres.
