3-2-1 v Tigers

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Yeah. For a while.

I don’t stay in close touch with him fan-wise, but he was pretty solid a few years ago.

 

[Meth]

He’s been great in nsw cup

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

We had some self abusing conduct events I was pretty disappointed with.

I understand the need to aim up on the warriors physically and to try to command dominance. But there was some slippage into rubbish.

Some interesting ref calls, but we didn’t help ourselves in some matters.

Benji needs to look at this carefully.

You were smarter than us as well.

3. Egan - I hope the man isn't made out of glass this season, he's the difference this year
2. Clark - With Walker and Harris gone he's stepped up, hopefully he's got more minutes, what a beast
1. Kosi - Especially in context of some insipid past performances, seems like another Fusitua maybe - capable of crap but has a high ceiling

CNK gets an HM but I'm a little worried about the defensive cleanup work, he's not really around lately as the last man standing.

Ford, Fish, Barnett and co. are running one heck of an engine room, with slicker halves and better fringe defence we've got potential to be a real force. Maybe it will gel, but for now it plays exactly like a 6 at 7 and a utility at 6.

Really loving the rookies. Marata's mistakes undoes his work.
I don't get Capewell, he's great at times and then suddenly forgets how to tackle.

3 - Egan - another great game, and first time i can remember him looking good in the wet
2 - Halasima - because of that try (I could watch that on repeat all day) and his general aggression - yes, a bit sloppy at times, but that try...
1 - Kosi - he went well, no errors, some nice offloads, even took some hitups off the kickoff

HMs - CNK, Pompey (wet weather football suits him, and his try was pretty special, too), JFH (seems like he's carrying the ball a lot more here than he did at Penrith), Clark, Ford, Bunty (good choice by Webby for this game).

Vaimauga ran hard, but made a couple of defensive errors
Niukore also ran hard but made errors and gave away penalties
Capewell shouldn't be playing 80 minutes - always lots of effort but looks pretty fatigued at times
I didn't think our halves were too terrible, actually. Apart from a couple poor last tackle options I thought Metcalf ran the team fairly well, and CHT did what he needed to do, too.
Usual high effort from Barnett, but didn't think this was one of his better games.

So the criteria for points is someone that makes no errors, a couple of hitups and an offload??
f**k me we are to PC for points

Kosi outplayed 15 other players???

Whats with the Kosi love

whilst he didnt screw anything up he was still labouring in chases, had a handbreak in hitups and was generally meh the whole game. He is not a 1st grade player but some of the votes cast in here will probably have him as the next immortal ffs

Haha, take the hater glasses off for a week. Kosi had a genuinely good game

Its more that everyones happy he had a decent game after the farkups in his last few first grade games

yeh i think its more this. He got a few offloads away, caught his high balls, didnt make a mistake in our own 20 and made a few hitups. TT didnt do much on the other side either apart from releasing Leka for his try.
I didnt give Kosi any points but i didnt give him a DM either which makes a change.

yeah they kicked off to him all night in the rain and he caught them all. Surprisingly good stuff from a guy who has been a butter fingers up till now

Especially in context of some insipid past performances

And context aside, what won him a point for me was 200 run metres + safely defused bombs in crap conditions, and didn't go hiding from work. CNK almost got my point but his defence concerned me a little.

Is he a better player than the other 15? No. DWZ and RTS waltz back into the side.
But that's not really what these 3,2,1's are for me.

 

[hitro]

3 Egan is the playmaker
2 CNK iced the game by making it look as if that WT had run into a power pole on their final attack
1 JFH controls the ruck and our pack have quite a bit of menace now

HM Clark, Halasima, Pompey, Tuaupiki drew dog Luai to put Leka away for the go ahead play and ran into him hard so he wasn't going on with the chase

DM Blocker -please can he be not broadcast to NZ -what a dick!

That was a pretty solid performance from a back up winger. He ran for 200m, 2nd behind CNK in our side. 3 tackle breaks, he did his job.

 

[One Warrior]

3. Egan
2. Clark
1. Metcalf - For the conversion and penalty, hard decision.

HM's Leka, JFH, Pompey.

Not a HM, Kosi did't drop the ball, which I feared, Berry back in against the Storm hopefully and Pompey to the wing, until DWZ or RTS are back.

 

[Blair]

R & S and Kosi have history. He's right in that he has shown unacceptable lack of fight over at least two seasons now. My view is that Kosi needs at least half a dozen games - pretty much in a row - like last weekend before we can be confident he's turned things around.
