Match Discussion: Round 22 vs North Qld @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield / Wanngal

Olam came up with a stupid play and it was a game changer. I can't even tell if it was flush on the jaw or more like the neck but it was stupid. Papalli coming up with that play at that time was terrible but he has been better in the middle. Klemmer was okay.

Nothing goes our way though. Latu getting smacked in the head early and when he had to adjust. I suppose good teams get through these things and win but we aren't a good team.

I reckon we win with 17 players.
I'm getting excited about next year.
We need to have faith in Richo, someone who's cleaned out the deadwood and his experience and ego will get us a good team moving fwd. He's not accustomed to losing

These 3 in the pic below + Luai are our future. Already these boys are showing Luai that he has not made a bad decision.
We do need at least 1 enforcer though.
Even guys like Porter and Faataape are improving. Da Silva is getting more NRL experience.
Go back to the when we signed Jarome Luaia, a lot of us were saying that we need to have guys who will make up next years team play a lot of games this year, particularly at the back end of the season.
We can't go into preseason with these players having no NRL experience.
It's a shame that Latu got injured. He needs heaps of games and now it looks like he may not get much more with AD nearing inclusion.

We get refereed differently to every other team, it’s beyond sickening now. Olam was in no way a send off, it was nearly an identical tackle to Jennings on Saab last week which didn’t even get a bin!

now in no way am I saying that cost us the game, however it absolutely cost us a chance in the game.
