[Burwood]

Doesn’t look too bad.

 

[Haffa]

Kings continual selection frustrates me.

 

[Old dog]

Kings continual selection frustrates me.

Alternative is Esee to front row and King to bench or right out but is he worse than Lillyman, only one prop on bench counting Heighinton as general forward, seems a lack of variety in selection, stick with tried and whatever.

 

[Dave_]

Every game for the rest of the season is a gf for us. I'd at least like to see us win those last 3

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Cogger and Stone drop off the extended bench

[Frederick]

Promising sign that Felise is still in the mix

 

[Old dog]

But will Zbrown change from his normal, mostly 1-17 is starting side.

 

[K-Man]

Cogger seriously looks out of his depth in reserve grade. He’s just cost his team the game by throwing the ball away looking for a miracle before the last tackle with Knights up by 2 points, then raced up out of the line to create the gap they score through. He’s just so bad.

Don't worry mate, we've only got him for another 6-7 weeks

Lillyman and Fitzy starting, King and Ese move to the bench

 

[PhilGould]

Daifiti 2 hit ups in the first 3 tackles. Good sign.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Dumb pass

 

[Tom155]

Lucky to get away with that, looked like a strip

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Why don't we apply kick pressure like.. Ever?

 

[Tom155]

Try

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

TRY!!!

 

[Loose Cannon]

Levi looking sharp.

Good start.
