Great win but stratchy of course. Have tighten up our discipline and ball handling against Cronulla, cause unlike Souths they will take full advantage of repeat sets on our own line.

- French I called for all year, and I knew I was right calling for him to come into the top grade. Pure class. However, typical to see nobody praise this kid. If Moylan scored the same try that French did tonight you would not hear the end of how good that was and he is. But who cares less pressure on the kid, and his in game awareness makes me more and more sure that I want him as our future fullback.

- Rory O'Brien, good on the kid solid effort tonight. Only his 5th game but looks like he's still finding his feet but looks like he knows how to use his size. Could be a good back-up for next year.

- Alvaro was a player I was raving about and wanting him to be our main prop for years to come. However, this year he has been rather disappointing. He's been ok to good, nothing more nothing less. He's just an average prop, nothing wrong with that but this team needs a great prop, an enforcer and Alvaro is just a normal workhorse. I don't mind Alvaro being our starter or being in this team in general. Honestly prefer him than Terepo as he is really inconsistent. Alvaro has just not been what I expected.

Against Cronulla, Takairangi and Mannah are both expected back along with Jennings who will definitely be back. Only changes would be O'Brien, Toutai and Pritchard out. I think they'll go with Gower, Terepo, Alvaro and Edwards on the bench and use Edwards as the utility if anything happens, especially at hooker.

  • If Mannah comes back, would consider keeping Obrein for his size against Cronulla.

  • Get French into fullback and start blooding him for next year and put gorden on the wing, he's only here's for his goal kicking. Kenny Edwards has earned himself the # 6 shirt for the rest of the season after tonight's game.
  • Michael Gordon is killing it at fullback
    He is everywhere
    • x2
  • Gordon doesn't have the speed he used to have but he's still killing it at fullback. He does everything right. We'll really miss him next year.
