Jetaya Faifua is a bit small to be fighting Bulldogs forwards.

Like Nita Maynard v Bouncers at Northies.

Round 3 Broncos v Roosters looming as a GF dress rehearsal.

Bulldogs v Dragons and Knights v Warriors should also be instructive as regards genuine contenders. Warriors are a real wild card.

Knights v Wahs NRL is the curtain-raiser next week. Doubtless everything scheduled with TV in mind.

Most focus after Sharks v Cowboys will be on the final play and Tiana Penitani's failure to pass.

Defending left a bit to be desired in the decisive Cowboys try. Two tacklers offside, third Sharks player getting into marker suddenly retreated leaving the ruck area wide open. Cowboys player free to use the space and pick a pass.

Goal-line defence and ruck recognition are a weakness of NRLW. Lot of short-range tries conceded. Too many heads-down decisions.

If the Roosters cut out their errors they would be unstoppable.
I think they need to re assess their positional selections and not overly fussed on the inexperienced winger

Broncos looked much better than they have for the last couple of years, since they stopped cheating by starting early. Still there is something that just screams filth

I hope the Tigers get a win or two but who knows about that one

Our two heritage Poms at the Roosters look to be in good form.

Jaime Chapman's try for the Titans is the second game running the Warriors have conceded by failing to complete an upright tackle. Scorer last week was Kayla Romaniuk.

It's Touch Football defence, as though they expect the ref to call Held soon after contact.

Some great football in the three Saturday NRLW games, judging from the highlights.

Dragons look potential premiers.

Bit less potential than it appeared after Round 1. Raiders not quite the benchmark I thought.

Dragons couldn't match the forward power of Roosters and Broncos. Alexis Tauaneai was a big loss.
