Not giving points for Cecchin. he was about to award that try to Williams if the pocket referee hadnt stopped him in the nick of time, and the penalty for Johnson being held back was from the pocket referee. Cecchin was about let to play continue. 8 point swing from Phil.

2 Paasi

While we got calls so did Raiders,Blair called flop on a moving tackle, raiders called inside 10m on kick and no penalty, no professional fowl on SJ, the two on one Austin strip. Felt balanced to me.

It sounded like number two had a blinder on attack.
Yeah he did well. His hit ups we're better than Kens. Lovely try assist for Fusitua with the offload of the year. Scored a try. Hikus only stuff up came near the end of the game where he had it stripped by Austin. Raiders didnt go down his side too often but when they did, he defended well.

300. Mannering Just because.
2. Hiku. Showed what a centre should be doing.
1. Lino.

Gotta say. Tevaga has a huge motor, but there is something wrong with the steering. The guy is a handbrake on attack.

yeh, and he says hes not an elite hooker. i thinks it more because he resents passing the ball rather than him taking the ball up and showing off his leet Skillz.. guy has to rein it in. Kearney loves him tho...

And he should be Lino's personal slave for the forseeable future, after that pass. Leilua nearly sent Lino into the middle of next week.

3. Paasi. What a beast. What an asset to have maturing for finals.

I know his identical twin Brother Rodney, so I've always kept an eye on Iggy....lovely guys....gentle Ben's...till they get angry ( in a good
way) get out of their space.

2. Lino....love seeking him get recognition in this thread. We have so much to thank him for this season....and the unluckiest Warrior to miss the finals in our history.

1. Mannering. His tough guy 300 special night really fired these Warriors up.
Might not play again for us...hope the Xrays are ok....

3. Mann - but a sad end if he misses out on more finals footy.
2. Paasi - our one big prop, and he's firing.
1. Hiku - he might have to adopt the philosophy of the great Brazilian Pele, 'We don't care how many goals the opposition score because we'll always score more'. In Hiku's case it's tries.

Harris only misses out because it was Simon's big night.

SJ not interested last night, saving himself for the finals I reckon. Same with Luke.

3. Paasi (obviously)
2. Hiku (one of the freakiest passes I've seen in a long while - they guy certainly knows how to attack and set up a winger)
1. Mann (because 300)

Hon: Lino for getting up and playing on after being cut in half by that hit.

It wasn't even really a stuff up on replay - two in the tackle.

It's annoying that one 'really' bad defensive game has seen Hiku's stocks drop but Teflon Kata's continual poor (defensive alignment, hungus-ness etc) performances don't see him benched. Maumalo must be tearing his hair out wishing he was on the other flank.

Yeah I thought I saw two but the ref was in a good position.

Hikus defensive flaws were actually spotted before that Penrith game. A lot of the posters here saw that defensive disaster coming.

I personally don't want to see Hiku there next week but he played so good last night. He was up against Oldfield though and he's not that good of a centre.

Kearney will pick him anyway and I'd back him 100% come kick off.

Kata's defensive flaws and hungus-ness have been known for two seasons, and in a presser a week or so again Kearney defended him, and his flaws, because he runs hard and straight - play him at bloody prop then.

Hiku's upside is far higher than Kata, I'd rather see Hiku and Beale than Kata and anyone.

Er.... are we seriously handing out 3 to Mannering purely on the milestone?
I love the guy but that kinda defeats the purpose... anyway

3. Paasi
2. Harris
1. Luke - his influence was a bit underrated, we really go off the boil when he's not going

HM Hiku - he's an entirely different player in combination with Harris
The Hiku-Fus pair is the most threatening we've had in ages, perhaps even JRo-Manu

Lino's got guts, he's an excellent backup option

Agree with the Kata annoyance - we're so much better off with a Beale/Hiku combination. I'm no HIku fanboy but Kata has played plenty of shockers for us and got away with it. What's the point in carrying someone who refuses to develop.
