We got the points. Move on. It was a very lethargic game. We are a different side this year mentally. Week to week is the only way in this elite competition.
Mullen's execution was off but he didn't go hiding in attack or defence. If he needs a knee operation i'm sure that would effect his running and kicking.
Jimmy was flawless and his individual try obviously won us the match.
Aku put in an outstanding display despite losing a couple in the air. He was absolutely bombarded this week and often had a few people challenging with a running start. Took some absolute screamers and some big catches/runs/tackles at the end when we needed him. I also think if his shirt was tighter he might have scored a couple of long rangers too.
Good debut for BJ, plenty of hard yards. T did nothing wrong but he wasn't very involved, so the energy in BJ's performance might spark something in T if he is to keep his spot.
Roberts was Awful really, reminding us that he is still a kid. We can only hope he bounces back because we will desperately need him with Mullen gone for a few weeks.
And finally, Smith will get a suspension from that so Nev might return sooner than we hoped! With a bit of luck Sims will come in though.
I feel for Penrith. They were the better team but all they get out of the game is half a dozen injuries, it doesn't seem fair. Walsh was strong albeit predictable so hopefully they can take some confidence into the next game.
Good summary.
I wasn't too impressed with BJ but probably didn't pay much attention to him.
Mason seemed a lot more spirited in his hit-ups which has been lacking recently.
Except for Jimmy that was woeful.
Roberts is rubbish, no help to Mullins at all. Mullen tried his best. Man of the Match was Walsh. I thought
House wa better this week.
Mate he has been strong up till now.
Roberts is rubbish? Mate he has been strong up till now. Gidley's service from 9 is too slow. That was the issue that concerned me most. Great Dummy halves control tempo. Gids can run strongly. Passing is average at best.
Undefeated at home and still there is whingeing. We won. Get over the game. Move on. That should be the mentality of the supporters. We smashed The Tigers and they pushed Melbourne all the way. The Raiders beat The Roosters a week after we touched them up. We almost ran St George down. We are going ok. A little more faith lads.
Scary watching the Melbourne v souffs game....... Thinking if we played them today we would be down by 50 at half time
Must have missed the game where we pushed the Storm. What was the score?
