Holmes can’t defend at fullback.

He can’t run fullback lines.

He can’t read the play in defence.

He isn’t a ball player.

Why is he fullback?

Great winger Thompson Ghazal. Imagine if we played him there next to his international partner Dugan. Might even allow our busted left side to be under pressure and perform.

Seriously, are there still people who think Holmes can play fullback?

FMD he is just a joke.

Totally different player on the wing.

11 tries in 2 games for Australia at wing.

Comes back to us at fullback & you wouldn’t feed him.

Diabolical!

Both tries and the Martin drop ball over the line have involved Leutele running in with poor defensive reads.

Does he f'n understand he's defending in the centers not 3rd man in

Haven't seen much of Moylan but I can already see that he is not a viable option at five eight and up in defence.

Holmes is terrible, can’t catch, doesn’t want to put his body on the line in defence. Put him on the wing or pack his bags. Bar the kick for the try, which was more a lucky bounce than anything else, our kicking game has been shit house which is what I feared without Maloney. What was our defence doing all chasing Granville from dummy half? Amateur.

We’re still in it, give us a bit of ball on their line and if our kicking game improves, we’ll win. Fifita looked awesome.

Some home town decisions to start.

So there is now sin bin for foul play Graham gets whacked in head goes off for HIA and nothing.
The attempted try by Taulmolo, that should have been penalty to sharks the play ball foot not used, is not looked at of course
Capewell knock on didnt even happen.

Now Sharks screw ups

Holmes has no idea at fullback cant get under a bomb
We let the kick offs bounce it maybe the breeze but we will see if Cowboys do same in 2nd half
Not one attempt for 40/20,

Where in 2nd half we can improve

Floating bombs it worked for Cowboys, Townsend can put these up with a makeshift fullback at Cowboys
Get Paulo on
I think Chad can get us home he dosent panic and can control the game

Can move Holmes to wing

Flanno has no faith in Capewell in attack, if Lewis was playing ball would have been going out that way, but Capewell, Flanno has no faith in him, ball in hand
