          • It can be a factor of getting the rust off and getting match fitness in there. Rewatching the end of 1st half, they were feeling it, the way they were falling off tackles, leading to quick play the balls. HT came at the right time for us to regroup. The new crop came on to start 2nd half and fatigue didn't really matter in the end as we were in complete control.

            Odd stat though, Cronulla had 52 missed tackles and 30 ineffective. We only had 4 ineffective. That is incredible.

      • Yes EA

    • I haven't been that impressed with Da Silva even last year but he might come good 

      • He is 20, so that is on his side.

    • Im not sure about the fitness call. The Sharks had all the ball in the back end of the half and the ref blew the pea out of the whistle.  9-3 penalty count at the moment and they scored with 30 seconds in the half.

      It's a trial so there's no point going off early but Tago and Kelma have been the only 2 weak links so far imo. Get Nanva or Richie out on that left wing now. Give them good minutes 

      • Yeah, need to blood these 2 now

      • I agree regarding fitness. Thought we were good. I don't think Kelma has been bad, but you can just tell he is more suited to an impact role of the bench.

      • We had way more ball in that first portion of the half, including numerous back to back sets. Now could it be some were out there too long? With Talagi coming off and Doorey having to play 10-15mins more than needed? Perhaps but it wasn't until the last 10 where Cronulla really started getting more possession.

        I do agree that surely Richie is better than Tago as an option at this stage. I was willing to give Tago a chance but he looked out of it.

      • alamadine looked solid on the left wing

    • Fitness needs to be viewed through the lens of a 8-4 penalty/infringement count leading to us having less possession despite the 4-1 try count. Think we will. One good

"Wouldn't mind Isaako. Nice steady Winger. Great goal kicker and is a right Winger which is the side we need. I would still try and get Taulagi from NQ. Yeah he is a left Winger but he has played right for Samoa, just feel he is the type of Winger we…"
