First off- People blame NRL and say referees have a hard job with rules cause there are so many and they change all the time, well if refs understood the rules and followed the rules NRL wouldn't have too change them. They have immunity over the NRL, nobody can touch them, its ridiculous what if he was a ref in the EPL, his car would've been totalled.
1- Hayne: Poor guy has a lot of pressure on him, he tried, looked frustrated and scored a good try, Dally M is wrapped up anyway for him
2- Radradra: Best game in a while, made metres, scored 2 tries, made a mistake barging over on the 5th tackle with 5mins to go but did a good job tonight.
3- Hopoate: Played well in my opinion, he tackled decent but his dummy-half runs were fantastic he played better than his last few weeks
4- Morgan: Mixed night, more towards a bad night, dropped near our line, made few ok runs but was pretty average tonight disappointing to see
5- Toutai: .....
6- Norman: Threw a pass for Radradra's 2nd try
7- Sandow: Tried all night, kept us in with 40/20, looked out of options near the end and relyed on Hayne to much, if had converted the 2nd try fieldgoals galore
8- Mannah: Consistant performer week in week out. Shouldve been our final interchange instead of Edwards tonight
9- De Gois: 44 Tackles is an achievement exceptional, however attackingly he is no Peats, and we sorely miss him in attack especially tonight as De Gois is handy and valuable as a 14 defending Hooker as he was tonight
10- Moimoi: didn't have many minutes but ran and defended well was ok and did a prop role
11- Edwards: A bench Second-rower is perfect for Edwards, Ma'u and Moeroa are better pairing, but he is first grade standard and he will be a valuable backrower in future but on the bench or back-up
12- Moeroa: This kid was outstanding, 37 tackles, 88 metres running and played full 80mins, after a full NRL pre-season he will be a force. he was tough tonight and kept us moving
13- Paulo: Quiet, predictable, made plenty of tackles, did the usually Paulo role we are used too
14- Pauli: Pauli Pauli aka "Bludger bludger" he has a build like Tony Williams and has strength like Toutai, pathetic
15- Gower: Bargain buy of the year my god this guy is good as soon as he came on he got momentum he nearly scored near the line and as he went off with injury we faulted
16- Lussick: Had a few good hit-ups then became quiet when he should've stepped up and didn't have many minutes either
17- Smith: He proved me wrong tonight, he was solid both attacking and defensively he made 4 tackles in a row in a set he was exceptional
Arthur runs a mental asylum, he is frustrated and as are the fans and we can blame the refs but we should fix out attacking and score points first

I like that mate,Bludger Bludger indeed.I had trouble even working out if he was on the field. FFS,even Williams played a blinder tonight.I hate being at the field ,because there is no commentary,few replays and the refs are inaudible,How hard is it to wire up the refs mike's to the PA like the NFL do?The NRL wants bums on seats,well they better pull their collective fingers out and improve the live experience.Where I was sitting,every penalty was met with confused looks by the fans,wondering what the penalty was for.
sarcasm or fair dinkum tentonz? ahhaha
