By the way

There needs to be an investigation

Why hasn’t Bessie been used?

WHY????

Our best players

Brailey - except the 40/20, but we at least knew what he was trying
Nikora - played 80 minutes rang good lines
Kennedy - Need to work on defense, but he is an attacking fullback who can pass
Katoa - Always dangerous.

The halves need work, need to play straight.
Gray could be worth another shot in firsts
Vasquez - He is good size prop, club needs to keep him
Williams/Magoulias - Need to see them play more they do offer potential

Katoa looked slow then

I'd be lookin pretty slow in the 79th minute too...did great to keep the ball alive when he was swamped

I missed the first half so I saw the best of the Jets, but there's some promise in there...still, 17 reserve graders, no one's really screaming to go up a grade. Katoa maybe?

The fullback attacks well, made a few runs that were eerily like what it was like watching Holmes down at Henson Park.

Great try in the last minute with Katoa heavily involved & Flanno cool to finish it off with a pass to Gray to go into the corner untouched.

Watching replay Katoa would of been gassed. He caught the bomb, made yards on the carry and got smashed. Then Kennedy cut through nicely for 15-16 metres and then Katia was in the next play already for the break.

I thought he should if scored TBH but as I said, probably out of breath

I really liked how he put himself in there to make a difference.

He got through the gap at speed but fast ran out of gas.

Was also heavily involved on the 2nd last try by being off his wing & almost scoring 10m in.

Opened up the wing for the Brailey grubber with no bulldog out there.

The blokes I noticed more were blokes we weren’t looking at.

Lolo was very dependable. Makes heaps of ground after contact. 24 years old and been around for years. Would love to see him get an NRL pre season. Don’t even know if he’s ours.

Rennie will be very good. Great defensive reads and hard hits. Runs hard lines strongly. Don’t think he made an error. Pity more play didn’t go his way. Probably not ours either

Evans is shit. Hope he’s not ours

Moraitis and Nikora were both better than Magoo. Easy to see why he’s on the bench and they’re not.

Vasquez looks a potential mean merkin. He doesn’t look very game fit though. Small minutes like Lolo.

Bessie was apparently judged to be too good and there were fears Bulldogs would of called the mercy rule so they didn’t play him.

The Jack Williams from Canberra is an old fashioned “goer”. That was all I saw from him

Easy to see why he started in firsts. His effort plays were a feature

I’m going to watch it again

1) I'd be lookin pretty slow in the 79th minute too...did great to keep the ball alive when he was swamped

1) yes
2) Said the same. Katoa and Rennie for mine are the peas.
3) his positional defence was like Felix’s too at times. Difference was the way he leapt for bombs, dived at ground balls and stood square to attackers coming at him. He was out of position a lot in the first half and made an unforgivable blunder not batting the ball out for the first try.

What did everyone think of Kennedy as fullback going forward.

1. Defence needs to improve, re positional play on kicks.

In attack returned ball well, and linked great into backline and has an offload
