Yeah I think Reece will struggle to get back. I laugh when I consider that the Titan's would have thought that Wighton was a weak point.

Yeah I had a good laugh when Jack smacked Prince, the look on Princes face was priceless.In the second half it looked to me as if he was deliberately kicking to the other side certainly gave up TARGETING him....lol

Also in regards to that (kicking to the other wing) how good is Fergos handling this year (touch wood)! If he has cut out all the mistakes from his game this year (he was targetted a lot last year due to issues under the high ball, etc) he should be pushing for rep honours.

I'm happy with the interchanges and minutes Furner is using this season. The hooking rotation is perfect if they aren't going to play the full 80. JT got 47 minutes which should be the bare minimum, and this is much improved on last week where he only got 30 minutes. Looks like part of that time came from Papalii move to prop for a bit so that may become tricky when TLL is back.

lol I really hope Wighton said "Welcome to first grade" to Prince. Would have been priceless.

Yeah for sure Fergo is so much more composed than he was last year.

It was unfortunate but last year the boys all but gave up about 7 rounds out from the end of the season and it really showed.

This year there is no doubt in my mind that the review has improved the way everyone approaches their jobs from the top to the bottom of the clubs structure and you can obviously see that coming out in the players performances.

I travelled to the coast on the weekend and one of the highlights for me was to see the way Dave Furner was so happy to see the way it is all coming together for the club this year.

I'm sure there is going to be more ups and downs throughout the year but can confidently say that this team (minus any major injury concerns) will be right there when the whips are cracking at finals time.

Lol...I don't think Jack would of said to much at all (but yes it would of been nice) but I did notice Prince give him a little nudge (off the ball/camera) when he was coming back on side in the first half,he may of later regretted that move!!:p

Good to see Ashley Harrison getting charged for his cheap shot on McCrone but talk about a low grading.... It looks like we are back to "but he didn't get injured" as the excuse for grading something that low... The result shouldn't matter, it was the fact it happened and what the injury MAY have have been. If he broke McCrones jaw he would be gone for eight weeks so why is he getting a free pass just because he is shit at smashing people in the face?
