just proves Refs were favoured alot last night

re: Luron - he's the one to keep long term - may not have the impact hitups like spencer- but has a great offload and seems to change momentum our way - already defensively better than spencer as well IMO

one that will shine in this team for years to come
The performances from the kid seemed to have pushed our other props as well

Interesting thought when Sorro is available who misses out? In the short term should allow us to rest players particularly Yeo and Martin. Also Bizza needs a week or two off and PA obviously comes in.

There are some interest questions ive been thinking about lately with some of our young guys stepping up. Of course recency bias is a thing, but i think that is somewhat offset by the multiple premiership shine some of the guys have in our minds. That being said, how do you think the following players compare at the same age.

Luron and Spence at Lurons age.
Casey and critta "
Blaize and Luai"
Milky and Inglis'

Casey up on Critta

But Milky over Inglis is some type of trolling shit i would do on Twitter. You wilding haha

I went out last night so couldn’t watch the game live but after seeing the replay this morning I thought that is our best 80 min performance since last years GF. The intensity of that game was like Origin and it’s hard to believe it’s the same team that was so painful to watch a couple of months ago. Guys like Talagi, Tago and Maclean looked great and Jenko just keeps getting better each game. It’s just so good we look like we are back!!!

I can fault Smith and Papali'i, though Paps got dudded with that call in the ruck and looked scared of it happening again. Henry was ok.

Ill always love him for what he did for us, but its much easier to see why opposition fans have/had a hate boner for Critta now.

Ha ha, funny you mention that. My Mrs was a bit taken aback last night. She asked why Stephen is being a prick. I just laughed and told her she just never noticed before, that how he plays. He will never get a hate boner from me though, too much credit in the bank.

Critter carries himself similar to Marto, we'd all hate Liam if he played for anyone else.
Marto gets away with it re the hate because he is so fun to watch when he does it. Everyone can appreciate a nutter to some degree even if they play for the wrong team. Marto also can have a laugh at himself, he gave it to Tino in Origin 2, but he copped it pretty sweet when Tino gave it back.

I think it's the slight swagger that he carries himself with too. Martin too, a bloke you'd adore to play beside but hate to be in opposition to him.

Just watched the replay- I loved Casey chirping at Critta. If he was intimidated by one of the hardest assignments he has had in first grade you couldn’t tell. Tough as nails. Excited to see what the future brings for him.
I think there was a deliberate plan to get under McCleans skin which backfired. There were a few other players getting into him as well.
