Agree, and except for a few blowouts, we've been in a lot of the games all season.
Looking very promising for next season. (again)
We’ll be top 8 next season, without doubt, we could do with a decent prop and a right centre, and I’m not sold on our halfback options, but we’re starting to look more competitive. Latu Fainu needs to be a lot fitter, I think he’s got enough potential to carry the side as a halfback but I think he’s probably 10kg heavier than he needs to be. His profile say he is 90kg but just looking at him Id be surprised if he wasn’t high 90’s, Mason is 88 and looks significantly smaller

Yep...he was one who got the official whatever it's called warning when he turned up for preseason way out of shape...when we signed the 3 brothers I figured he was the prize and they came to lock him in....quite the opposite as it stands now. He's young..has had lengthy injuries and probably had his confidence knocked down when Benj opted for that Gal guy as the future 7...he had to have wondered why he came. Anyway the decks are cleared and it's his turn to get serious now as his brothers have

I might have to retract my point about Twal and Terrell needing to turn it up a bit on their runs...those numbers are probably a pretty good reason

I reckon they've both been unreal on both sides of the ball. I also think Hunt gave us some impact yesterday. I don't think we were outgunned in the pack and Canberra have an elite pack.

I think Pole needs to be better and he has footwork that very few middle forwards have so he can do it.

If we could get Hunt giving us 20 minutes of quality runs with good defense and no mistakes plus Pole gets it together the pack is looking a lot better.

Never!! stick to your guns. You saw saw it, You called it..and for a good reason .. And most importantly those numbers don’t contradict what you said..

I hope Benji isn’t giving this amount of blanket approval to the players after another loss ..esp the halves.. maybe that’s where he needs to apply some heat to turn these L’s into W’s.. You can’t make top 8 without them

I doubt it...Benji would be raising the bar after every game. You can tell Luai takes losing badly and very personally...whether it's professional standards or good 'ol personal pride/ ego who cares. I doubt he talks very much about "considering this and considering that, not too bad"

Amazing. What a good actor Bana is..I knew he was good impersonating chopper Reid but to Carry that depression through the movie coz of his kid how he did and yet dominate .Sam was perfect ofcourse

It was really good wasn't it. It's hard to believe he started out as a comedian.

We are watching the Bear and the new Daredevil. They are good.

Ricky is deflecting, the ref favoured his team 16-7 with penalties and restarts.
Swap the diabolical 1 sided refereeing decisions/penalties/restarts & Abdo would be presenting the JJ giltinan shield this wk.Stuart is a major league fkwit.Unlike the detestable rorters dogs & storm Canberra are a likeable club albeit the coach is a whining dickhead & protected species.
