Rapana is such a twat.

Rapana is such a twat.

He’s really f**king stupid too. Why would you pick Fifita??? Brainless

Fifita picked Rapana out.

Emu looks fit and BIG!!

 

[TheParraboy]

Softest of soft tries that one

Not sure Tapine is that great, but terrible defence

 

[Soren Lorenson]

f**k this game is going for a long time

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

f**k this game is going for a long time

People run slower on a heavy track.

Indig were favourites. So how did David Kidwell go ? Can he coach now ?

Silly question , of course not.

Hynes looked best on field to me. I wasn't watching closely.
Emu made a solid contribution in limited minuted.

It's a one off gimmick game. This is hardly a good guide to anything.

Stats are good. 22mins, 16 tackles, 7 runs, 63m with 31 post contact.

Actually they played the same game in 2020 (no game in 2021) which the Maori won too. So it’s an annual gimmick game I guess.

Yeah they didn’t look like they were fired up at all. Zero passion. ‍

I reckon Kidwell would know how to pump guys up but I don't feel like he would be a tactical mastermind. These are r ju as t assumptions.

True. NRL coaches lean heavily on their assistants to provide tactics.

Like Craig Bellamy and Brad Arthur.

Looks like Kidwell will get poached now

I was poking fun. I just find it interesting at the direction where blame is fired when we lose and then where credit is given when we win.

We bought in Ennis and McGregor. I reckon that come from MON and not BA.
I'd say he wants to freshen things up and didn't like the direction we where heading.

MON re-signed Murphy and Kidwell for 2022 and then added on the new crew. Seems to me that he is making way for a smooth transition away from the current assistants in favour of a freshen up.

Woah, there hasn’t been much criticism of MON of late. Does that mean merkins think he’s good at his job ?

 

[strider]

I wont be happy until we have one assistant coach per player

I though Emu was a bit disappointing with the ball for a guy of his size. 7 runs for 63m and 0 tackle busts.

Defence was decent, 16 tackles 2 missed.
