Edwards is underrated because all anyone sees is attack. Fullback isn't just an attacking position. Edwards has it all over every one of them in his positioning for kicks, his coverage of the in-goal, and his safety under the high ball. He doesn't beat tackles like some others do but he backs up line breaks as good as anyone.Tedesco, RTS, Tommy Turbo, Gutherson, Mitchell, Ponga, even Brimson and Klokstad, are comfortably better players then he is.
Braith Anasta was in the bunker.Still scratching my head how the Gagai try was given. Sent up as no try and still can't see how there was enough to over rule the call
And I thought the pass from Walker for their last try went forward - need another look to see whether it was out of the hands or floated though.Still scratching my head how the Gagai try was given. Sent up as no try and still can't see how there was enough to over rule the call

I thought the Gagai try was ok. There was one angle that looked pretty clear, but it was one if those ones that'd needed slow mo to be given. The Allen try looked worse to me. Reckon his hands overran the ball.
It’s ridiculous, told he was to small in Harold Matts and now he bounces off NRL props and back rowers with ease.
He made a tackle against the roosters I think on JWH(it was definitely one of their big guys) who had lined him up and charged and Brian just stood his ground, hit him low, picked him up and drove him into the ground. I was in awe.
I think he was my motm last night tbh, he just had so many important runs plus the try.

He might just be the best backup runner in the comp. I kinda wished it rubbed off on some of our other players, obviously it’s a bit easier for a FB to pop up all over the place, but support play is a really important aspect of the game.
Shout out to Brian To’o. Bounced back from a bad game last week and was amazing last night, 67 post contact metres, he gets so much momentum for us. He’s entering Yeo and Fish territory for mine, such a great player.
To’o is why I’m not concerned about us soon losing Mansour’s meters.
I notice Annesley didn't look at the strip on Edwards although he did look at the Reynolds non-40/20 which was 100% clear cut. This I suspect can only mean one thing. We didn't squeal loud enough.Their first try was the set after a bullshit penalty and the one on one strip was line ball at best.

It’s highly likely the video refs tipped the ref off to look as the tv was showing Reynolds foot on the line and there was a break in playI don't have audio, what was said about the non-40/20 kick?
Which is why Annesley could have looked at it in his briefing, unless the outcome wasn't favourable that is. The ball was obscured in the footage shown on TV.There was no stoppage in the game for him to look at the strip and they dont do a review of strips/knockons automatically in any case.
