Makes no sense. We have plenty of coloured players Islanders and Aboriginal. I heard booing but that is it

Booing based on colour? I wasn't there so I can't comment.

I would of assumed booing because it's Greg Inglis, deserves what he gets. He took an age to get off the field as well.

Maloney isn’t playing that bad... I really don’t see what all the fuss is about.

Why certain people think he should slot straight in and be amazing is beyond me. He’s started the same way with every club.

We are also asking him to play second fiddle to Cleary, which he isn’t use too. He’s always been the dominate half. He’ll take a handful of games to click.

I thought he had some really good touches last night.

- JFH was very physical and took on George well. Wasn't too impressed last week but I was this time. -1 for taking a rest as Cook got one before halftime.

I think McKendry was the other one watching Cook yesterday. JFH from memory was nearby but one man further out.

There is no fuss. He's a great half not playing his best. The question was eaised as to whether it is age or new combinations. Not a big deal really.

Disagree. He is really bad. If you were to rank the halves in the NRL based on performance in 2018 he would be at the bottom.

Two wayward passed yesterday and he was spewing over both. Cold drop after the Cleary linebreak. We are just good enough atm to cover for the mistakes.

If so I stand corrected. Someone had their hands on their shorts as Wallace dived to no avail.

Really... have you seen any of Forans games? Or The Raiders halves? How has he been worst than Moylan or Adam Reynolds (he was disgusting last week)

Even the Great JT has had a less than impressive start to the season.

He threw a couple of bad passes and dropped a pass that he did really well to be in position to catch.

He’s also taking a fair bit of pressure off Cleary which is helping him a shit load.

I actually think Forans been going fine. The Dogs have looked much more dangerous in attack this year than I expected. Their issue has been their defense.

Foran>Maloney. I've actually been pleasantly surprised with the new Dogs spine.

Moylan>Maloney. Tight call, Moylan has had the same shocking mistakes but he is still pulling out big plays. Thursto same situation but he is head and shoulders above Maloney/Moylan and I feel embarrassed to make a real comparison.

Raiders bad yes. Reynolds I say so, injured now.

Not saying halves don't make errors. They make alot. The passing errors from Maloney concern me the most.

It's all rocks and no diamonds from Maloney atm.

He’s not going any better than Maloney.

I disagree. Maloney has had 3 halves that range between ordinary and very poor. Only one that could be considered at least decent.

I don't think it means he's a write off of a signing. As others have said, it takes time to settle in to a new role and nerves are a common issue for players in their first few games at a new club. He does need to improve though.

Yes I just commented on that. I'm surprised. They'll improve like everyone else in the competition will but they will challenge Pemriths edges for sure.
