What on earth happened in reserve grade?

Got and up checked the score earlier and was a little shocked to see we got flogged.

Some interesting talking points:

* Ethan Sanders flogged by 30 after signing with them. I bet his opposing 7 enjoyed it, especially with a personally tally of 18 points.

* Did they miss Matt Arthur?

* Who comes in for Tuilagi from this game?

* Our starting middles were common fist graders Greig, Lussick, Makatoa and Moretti. But we lost the important following stats:

1 - all runs

2 - all run metres

3 - post contact metres

4 - average set distance

  • Lussick had 4 missed tackles and only played 52 mins. Tremendous effort

    • He probably wishes he stayed in the UK. You gotta admire him for coming back and taking a risk. I feel bit bad for him that he failed.

      • He could just go back with BA to Leeds. I highly doubt he his here in 2025. He will see out his time in SL for next 5-6 years.

    • Is Lussick, Gutho's brother in law?

      • Yes

  • Players are probably sick of not getting a go in first grade. New coach still no opportunity.

  • They played in the wet. I watched bit and pieces because I kept turning it off as eels were so shit. We kept dropping the ball every chance we had. Our starting forwards who are meant to be fighting for a nrl bench spot was soooooo bad. Harper was crap. To the point I rather give Tago a top 30' for depth next year over Harper. The halves had zero creativity or patience. Cini was rocks and diamonds. It was one of those days where they simply did not want to play wet weather footy. Did not want to get dirty.
