Takeaways:

Execution - there were about 5 or 6 bombed tries easily. Boys will get better but still sloppy when it comes to finishing touches.

Goal Line Defence - very unusual and unlike Panthers in that first half. 3 soft tries let in.

Tago - killed it all night and that’s including some bombed opportunities.

Luai - average game. Borderline not up to standard first half with ill discipline. Not sure if it’s him easing back into the game after his shoulder reconstruction but it wasn’t great.

Fisher-Harris - any update on his injury?

Leota - awesome performance. Pick of the forwards.

Bench Forwards - all played their role nicely and I think it was as good of a rotation as it’ll probably get this season.

Edwards, Kenny and May - tiredness workers. All put in a shift. Kennys was sublime, great to see him back controlling the ruck.

Attack - even with all the bombed tries, the fact they created so many opportunities was great to see. Now to just ice them! This game should have been 48-12 no joke.

Yeo - can do anything. What a deft kick. He is invaluable. Not only the premier lock on the game but he does things other locks can’t.

Next Week - Plenty to work on. I’m sure they all know this.

Panthers were terrible. Managed to win through fitness.

Feels remarkably similar to 2023 early on. I hope we come good like we did last year.

I reckon Yeo deserves a shout out too, he’s been our best so far this season

Also, thought Luai was much better in the second half. Couldn't have been worse ofc, but played much more direct in general which was good to see.

Shame he likely won't be backing it up next week.

Good to get the win but very frustrating yet entertaining game. Discipline needs a lot of work and some soft defence in the first half. Great to create plenty of chances, once we start icing them we will be very hard to stop again. Plenty to like and still a lot to work on.

A lot of things weren’t great but the attack was pretty good especially Tago looked good out wide.

Mostly just happy for the first win of the season and to beat the Eels again. They were quite resilient.

Worried about JFH injury though. Pretty poor coverage from Channel 9 as they didn’t even mention it for a long time.

I can handle errors, I'd rather that then just turning it over
