3. RTS - what an absolute monster
2. Gavet
1. Hoffman

Hon mentions Mannering, Princess was very strong again.
Generally very strong all around.

-3 Maumalo, who will continue on the basis of his metres until its too late.
-2 Bodene with more bone-headed plays
-1 Kata for a couple of glory runs when we were hot on attack to waste a tackle and allow them to regroup

Fielding three idiots out there.

Missed the game as I was at an all day party and only just caught the highlights so can I just give Maumalo -3 for those piss poor jersey grabs on Leilua? Seriously I expect him to get turned and beaten somtimes but they were straight up emmbarassing misses of the sort you see when a team is hiding a half who can't defend on the wing, from a 6'4, 105kg bloke that's desdset shameful. Didbt even put his body on the line, surely we can bring CNK in?

Seems weird giving all the points to backs when we scored 1 try all game... but the last line and right edge was where the best defence was to be found, I think. HM to Gavet for impact, if not necessarily work rate or consistent quality tonight.

CNK, if fit (ie. did he come through the nsw cup match today ok?), must come in for Ken. He deserves it. Ken doesn't.

I'm getting sick of Kata too at the moment... if Fineanganofo had a good game defensively in the 20s today I'd be very tempted to throw him straight in... has been a rare highlight of the jnrs this year when playing (mostly his tackle technique).

Kata at least has past form in his favour and we know he's capable of being an asset. Ken just doesn't have enough visible upsides to compensate for his flaws. His only strength is a reliable 150 or so run metres a game.

I expected the warriors forward pack to be completely dominated by Canberra, but I think the warriors were on parity with the massive Canberra forwards. Mind you, it looked like we were up offside all night, but at least the line speed seemed a little better. We lost that game because BJ cut us up and a number of refs calls went against us.

From the stats RTS added like 45m in the second half, he was at 155m in first half.
Didn't over rule Maumalo when he dropped the bomb (was mid field).
Missed a moment when Hoffman made a break to receive and offload.
A bit harsh, but should of got that try, was not aware of Crocker (his words).

Lots good good performances - with a couple of notable exceptions...

Will be interesting to watch selections, Ayshford is always a convenient scapegoat, despite doing little wrong and a lot of good (if unspectacular) stuff

1. RTS, Foran and SJ all got taken out of the game with the dumb knock ons and penalties + Luke being subbed for a pretty hopeless rookie. Where the hell is Tevaga? The only time we ever look like a competent nrl side is with the full spine on the park.

2. Ken should have taken that ball no sweat as any first grade back should, entirely his fault.

Dont remember the Hoff moment.

I'm 50/50 on the Croker thing, yes he should have got it but he created that chance from absolutely nothing anyway, canceled itself out in a way.
