  How can you say his defence is solid, shocking miss on Raiders winger for match winning try, that wasnt his only miss but most crucial. I think changes are needed to put pressure on some players to improve, I have my opinion but will wait and see what the coach comes up with.

  I think he misses tackles when he is tired but he made nearly 50 tackles last night again. Work rate is great

  Kaysa puts his body on the line all day.
  I actually think he can play a pretty good 80mins
  The problem I see with Kaysa is his body size. He just keeps getting swatted off and cant hit hard enough to actually stop momentum. The guy needs to learn to legs tackle, which he used to do but I think that may have been where he picked up injuries prior. What we are missing is the hard low tackler like IDG. Someone who stops momentum. We seem to always get dragged along with the tackle and those offloads are killing the fans in the stands.
  
  Kaysa won't improve if it is his size and an injury prone Peats isn't the answer. Look at the size and body shape of the dummy halves in the good teams, that's what we are looking for.

  Everyone here is talking about his defence and that is the problem. A defensive hooker is not what the team needs. Kaysa is not an instinctive natural ball runner. With inexperienced fullback and 5/8, we need more attacking options around the ruck. I think we just need a fast natural attacking hooker. There is nothing happening around dummy half, we are too predictable and our ball runners are easy targets. Perhaps two hookers can provide fresh legs and challenge the defensive line a lot more. At the moment it's not happening with Kaysa.

  Kaysa is rubbish! He is better off retired!

  I agree with you James. I was at the game and it looked like Kaysa started falling off tackles at around 65 minutes (would be interesting stat) and he started to visibly tire. Hodgson for the Raiders is a very good hooker and Kaysa was not outclassed and he grabbed a good opportunistic try. I think BA is still trying to get Kaysa fit and strong enough for NRL.

  I agree with Rider!!
  
  Kaysa is doing fine but it's his size that lets him down. He actually had a couple of good dummy half runs yesterday which is the first time they've stood out for me. His work rate is as good as most but he was clearly exhausted when he missed the Cotric tackle and was benched (5 minutes too late) immediately after that, with more game time he will improve his staying power but at the moment he is only a 65 minute player.

  I know brown isn't a dummy half but if he subbed kaysa off will allow parra to give vave more minutes and wouldnt have to leave a forward off the bench

  Pritchard and Robson! Jeff Robson can add a lot around the. 50 th minute. He has flair, he has experience that can lead the team around and take advantage of the other teams tiring defense!
