    • Fingers crossed Hawkins is better than he looked last week in Reggie's. He didn't look like a bloke sufficient for the NRL. Maybe just settling in to a new club. I still hold reservations considering Bennett didn't offer him a contract and went for the young kid from Manly and Sullivan. 

  • Tigers were so much faster than us out wide. Jac brings some much needed speed. Between penisi, samrani and russell we had a very slow backline

    • Agree Jiver, get Simmo on the other wing when he is fit

  • Good to see JAC come in

    I'm glad Samrani kept his spot and Russell got the boot.

    Hands is average but Lussick is just absolute shit. Not sure what Kearney 2.0 is thinking about here.

    • Probably wants some line speed in the first 20m. I dont really mind it because smith will be on for 60 minutes

    • I like it, ryles is showing back to back below expectations performances won't be acceptable,  hands has been poor at best.

      • He has been poor at best but even his poor games are better than 90% of Lussick's games.

        • You can't keep rewarding players that aren't performing,  this is what BA was doing,  it promotes complacency. 

          • I understand that but replacing poor with utter crap is just as bad.

            • I don't remember lussick being as bad as hands has been the first two games. He isn't as good but I don't think his floor is as low as hands.
