      Could be wrong EA, but think its the carries / metres from backfield. They were pretty important, along with Penisini?

      You could tell both of them had been directed to focus on metres to help our forwards, and neither disappointed. Its pretty vital with our current pack to get our back 5 moving us forward, and Papalli & JAC aren't big metre players.

      Nanva's time will come no doubt, he was great.

        Yea I agree especially since Russel, Papalii and Fox are not strong in that department.

    Really missing Tuivaiti or Dooreys impact off the bench, just workhorses on that bench no real gamebreakers

    • EA > Joel K April 21, 2026 at 4:35pm

      We won the game against Dogs with that bench if they swap JDB and Walker. I agree they don't have the impact of Doorey and Tuivita but this bench was strong defensively which limited dogs meters and as such gave us better field position. Then it's up the spine to do their work

    Really happy that JR rewards good performances. Just because some is returning, he doesn't give them their spot back.

    Peter gough is the ref well there goes our chance of winning. Any parra player sneezes manly 6 again...All jokes aside i reckon we win this game well on sunday

    • CP > KENDOZA April 21, 2026 at 4:52pm

      Omg isn't that the same ref that fucked us up the ass without any lube?? Geez we have no chance

    Rewarding those who perform. I wonder if Ryles was not pleased with Kelma against GC. But also, very impressed with Guymer and Williams on an edge. Kelma is a better off the bench impact player. 
    Though reward Pryke and Mataele who were given a chance.
