Thanks Jamskee

I wouldn't read too much into the stats on our two wingers last night...they were both pretty decent (at least in Lulia's case while he was on the field). But I will post them below to show you

Lulia 53m, 7 runs for 66m in 53 mins
4 general runs for 38m, 2 runs from 1st reciever for 12m, and 1 kick return for 16m.

Vuna 84m, 13 runs for 84m in 80 mins
1 hitup for 8m, 4 general runs for 31m, 5 runs from dummy half for 27m, 2 'ruck runs' for 15m (not sure what they are), and 1 kick return for 3m

Billy is so generally brilliant that he can be allowed that one average game. He still did plenty right if you ask me. Best fullback in the game and Hayne still has plenty of work to do before he can claim that title. Media BS as frankly Hayne was garbage for the first half of the year. If he does it for four years runnning, Like Slats has, the he can claim to be the best. I believe if you took Slater out and put Inglis in you would not make the 8.

Hoestly, having a 3rd choice winger like Lulia is a good thing.

Who would have preferred Aku? or Wes??

Having the strongest depth in our club in the ' winger ' position is ridiculous.

Dont be too hard on them.

In that last 15 minutes only the first try was a concern. Bad miss by Mullo.

The other two were a side with nothing to loose throwing caution to the wind. Double chip and chases and miracle offloads. Very hard to defend....

Great to see a win. Even better to see a dominant defencive display.

Agree but the try from the cross field kick to Wes was........ well most first grade wingers need to do a little bit more in that situation. Poor Wes didn't really put his heart (or his head) into attempting to do something with that one. Should not have been scored. He is not an asset to this team. He is a big concern.

From where I stood he seemed to make the decision to attack the player who caught the ball.... the Storm centre did a pretty good job of making it look like it was going to be him (hard to say whether he did that on purpose or not) so Wes committed to him and the try was scored.

Not defending his decision at all, but he did make the wrong choice.

I liked the look of Lulia running with abit of vigour instead of crabbing across field
