This will hurt Tigers fans

But Iongi is already on par with Bula's input in offence and his 2 years less experienced.

Iongi will be a better fullback then Bula for mine over the long term
I disagree I think he will be a state of origin 5/8 in a few years time and until he transitions he'll be a top fullback, he's on an identical path that Lockyer took

Can i just say, who is our defensive coach. He's done really well. If you watch the counting of numbers and communications and pointing in. Defense, accolades to the defense coach

We most times keep a straight line

Wakker ran out and they scored a try and kelma sometimes breaks the straight line so there's still some work needed

Why ba couldn't get someone to implement a defense with some of our previous teams couldve made a big difference in years past

He swerves and dummies like Kenny and now showed he can kick. Swap him with paps during the game

Watched a replay when i got home.

Some of you werent wrong about Ennis in the commentary box he was as pathetic as Gerard Sutton and lucky to not get on Avenger's Shit list.

What an embarrassment he was.

Warren Smith though continues to be as professional as ever its got me beat why he is under used on Fox.

Channel 9 should be going after him.

I can't cop Matt Thompson especially on the big games where we dont have a choice. His origin calls are an embarrassment and would barely be able to tie Ray Warren's shoelaces.

Sam Moa & Ryles do the defence

Scott Wisemental & Nathan Brown work on the attack.

Interesting penrith had an opening there at 5/8 & had Iongi in there system.

And chose to poach Blaize off us instead of offering Iongi that role.

In the end its probably worked out for both parties.

If Blaize stayed i doubt we sign Iongi.

On tct, 60s said that gutho was marked to play the Dylan walker role. He declined and now we have the og Dylan walker
Yeah it makes sense now what Ryles was selling Gutho last year when he said he was going to movie him from FB to a roving middle role.

It didn't see it at the time and i dont think Gutho ego could handle a demotion like that.

But you could see what Ryles was pushing and its worked out well as we have got one of the best in that role and got Gutho's salary off the cap.

10 games with Dylan Walker for 5 wins he has been the best mid-season signing of the season.

Good win, considering who we had out and some of the mistakes we made we managed to win well.

Our early shifts and short passing in the middle are very exciting, no more boring Bea Ball.

And even in defence even though we let a few soft ones in defence you can see there is a plan in place and we are actually working on things. The players don’t even look like strangers in attack it’s absolutely amazing.

I think we are on the improve but man we have holes to fill in the side. Onwards and upwards next week is a big game.

I though we were shit, just the Tits were shitter.

The Dragons are less shit than the Tits. A good barometer how shit we really are.
