First, what a shame. First 20 minutes and Jye fucking Gray.
Now, some points for discussion:
1. Teancum is a beast. Him and Tuivati are what we build aorund please.
2. Jack Williams has had 4-5 games on the run where he's the best player on the pitch, whether we won or lost. Curious whta happens when Su'A is here. I like Williams as a middle but I love him as an edge.
3. Ryley Smith. He played 5/8, played centre, hooker and a bit of 13. Ryles clearly still sees a role for him and he might be the 13?
4. Speaking of 13, Junior Paulo. Very Dylan Walker performance today, not as good but not that far off. If he stays, that's his role IMO. Him, Ryley, Hopgood rotating the 13 is not bad......?????
5. Moses was great. He's the man.
6. Pryke was good. I'm confused about him now, does he have a future? What do we think?
7. And Finally, Samrani and Addo-Carr. Addo-Carr hasn't done much on the wing, and we play with more of a style to use power on the edge to finish plays. PLus Samrani is really now a back. Considering Addo-Carr's experience, his tendency to drift in in defence, and to play closer to the ruck, should we move him to centre? And Samrani can take the wing spot.......
Just some ruminations...discuss whatever one you like.

Williams please play in the second row with Sua Kuatonga decant go for 80..
Pryke played 13 today was decent I would never play JDB again and use Prkye next week..
Brown has alot going for him hopefully he continues to work on his game.. Strength and that late step before the line.
We need speed out wide simple as that..
Agreed Yehez and Teancum is getting better each week.
Souths best player by a country mile was Grant Atkins-bunker. Kelly in the bin for a very minor indiscretion and they score 3 tries whilst he's off. Samrani tackled in the air in try scoring position and not even a penalty.
There is absolutely no excuse for the bunker to get those calls wrong. The ref was fine tonight but time and time again Atkins show his absolute disdain and hatred of Parra
That tackle in the air no try was one of the worst calls I've seen
Wyatt Raymond is always a fair ref towards us, in my opinion, but the bunker referee is another matter!!!!
Mmmmmm not sure on Wyatt. Never been a fan of his. Though also, there are worse than him.
Agree not sure if we have won a game with him in charge maybe wrong . But that first 20 killed us for sure. We lost yes but the effort in the second half to keep them in check and to fight back was pretty good effort .
It's time to find out no point in wasting our juniors telling the world there not ready there time is now regardless.You got Hopgood Sua and Williams as the experience I honestly don't understand what we are waiting for not playing these guys.
The future is now we've been out of contention for the finals for months throw them in there for the love of god.Volkman had a great second half last night but kick rocks Talataina's time is now also.
I think Talataina will debut in the last round of the season, maybe the game before.
Jezaiah will debut soon too.
I think Ryda and Koina will be there soon.
Step by step. Look at Teancum. He looks great now but wasn't thrown in straight away.
I've said this before holding back your juniors just opens the door for them to be poached by another club. There either ready or there not. There is only one way to find out. Brian smith never hesitated to throw in a junior neither did tim sheens. And the game was alot tougher back then
Except for Hayne, probably would have kept his job and won us a premiership if he knew how to handle a superstar kid, instead of trying to discipline him.
