I love Hindy as much as the next person, and he was great tonight, but Mannah was by far our best on field.

It's all subjective, but Hindy made nearly the same amount of metres, yet made 3 times as many tackles including some very important ones. That's astounding really.

Sandow was a one man show tonight, just like Hayne was last year.

In fact Sandow was a one man show last year as well. No wonder he said he wanted to come here to play with Hayne. You'll get to see that next week champ.

Sorry guys, dont want to be dissing our man Hindmarsh, his stats have always been great. But being a realist, when he makes 50 tackles a game, 35 of these tackles he was second man in or third man in. Dont believe me, then watch tonights game again.

Yes he made metres, but in this time, did you honestly feel when he had the ball that he would make a linebreak or score a try. He used to excite me when he had the ball, he would palm, be a bollocking type of runner. But these days he is fairly placid.

Who cares HOW he makes the metres - as long as he is making them!

Do u know anything about football??

They are embarrassing themselves. I just ignore them. Drives them crazy.

That's a good idea. We all know Souths don't really have any fans anyway. All their memberships are in the names of Russell Crowe's celebrity friends and their pet chihuahuas, iguanas, white tigers etc.

I reckon sk should let hindy offload. He is good at it and basically it sould make his hitups more dangerous. Now he is predictable. He runs it up, dummies left and gets tackled. If there was someone running straight off him, he would be dangerous

So what if he's the last one in? Having someone come in late to wrap up the ball carrier to prevent a quick play the ball is essential in the modern game. He's also playing up the middle for the past few seasons, as opposed to earlier when he'd be running wide. That's the role he's been given and in attack he's basically like an extra prop. He's slower than he used to be, that's part of aging and hence the move.

I don't believe you, you are wrong. Players are coached to go in 2 or 3 at a time anyway. It's not being 2nd or 3rd in, most of the time 2 players will hit the attacker at the same time.

Hindmarsh's attacking role is pretty much just hitting it up now. I never felt like Lasalo, Horo, Maitua etc. all these wide hole-running back rowers supposedly were ever going to make a break or score either. Hindmarsh is more just a prop in an attack. And when he makes 124 metres I think it's just fine. He used to be a great asset in attack through his offloading, but since Kearney came in we aren't allowed to do that anymore apparently.

If Hindmarsh should retire then Lasalo, Horo, Maitua and all our outside backs that did nothing should retire first.

I reckon sk should let hindy offload. He is good at it and basically it sould make his hitups more dangerous.

The whole team should be allowed to offload again. Our attack a few years ago came on the back of the space allowed by Hindmarsh, Cayless and Mateo offloading. We are stifling our own attack at the moment, and when we do that, well we end up like last year.

Hopefully we are allowed to offload this year. Hard to judge from a wet game.
I guess we will see in a couple of weeks against the Warriors.

Probably not. It's expected to be wet in Sydney for the next 4 weeks. Maybe away against the Cowboys.
