How many tries he bomb?El Salmondo has genuinely impressed me thus far this season. Has added some size and was a real handful last night. Think he can definitely do a job on an edge if required.
Great to see Garner have a good game last night also. Ran hard from the 1st minute and ran some smart lines.
How many tries he bomb?
You know who really impressed me, Matt Eisenhuth he just did his job tackled hard, didn't f**k up, didn't plod much, i reckon he should stay on our bench, even Mitch Kenny ran thru those forwards hardcore, when he wasn't hooking, maybe we get Leniu or Sorrenson on nates edge, move Martin to Luai edge, keep Eisenhuth on the front row rotation, garners a f**k up
Kenny, Eisenhuth, Sorrenson, Yeo, Leniu, Leota, FishI liked how IC moved Martin to the left hand edge in attack. Smart move. Gave Luai more time and options.
I'd like to see Leniu do the same but would only be possible if we carried two props on the bench.

That plodder shouldve scored way before latrell got near him..... he is a class A plodder... not sure why Ivan is persisting with himDropped the ball a couple of times, other times they stick. The fact he got himself in those positions, most of the time from solely his own doing, is a great sign. That try saver from Mitchell as well was world class.
Don't forget Sorrenson prop or edge, and Stephen Crichton Fullback Centre, Wing, 5/8th (world cup samoa)One thing that gives our side great variability is how many players can slot in to roles for periods of the game.
Kenny to Lock
Martin to the Edge.
Yeo to prop.
Leniu to prop or the edge.
Salmon to backrow, has played hooker, 5/8 and centre for us.
It gives us a lot of options with the bench rotation and shows how balanced the squad is.

Kenny was taking hit ups like leota and leniu normally do last nite, whilst soni was in at hooker... it impressed me, never seen him charge hard, like a raging bull.
OMG- just went o to the wabbits page- they are going off deluxe regarding the lost ball where Tago scored saying it went forward but if you look closely and compare it to the markings on the ground - the ball went back ( flat at worst) but it didn't go forward. however they aren't whining about the the try the scored off a pass that was blatantly off the ground from a tackled player. and funny how they blame the ref.....
Garner is not an 80min player, nor has he played 80mins for us yet, Salmon subs for him at 25-30 to go, for trials, and 1st 2 rounds, if he IS a 80minute player at the tigers, that is probably why they were graced the wooden spoon, while we reigned supreme last season... im fairly sure he wasn't playing 1st grade for the 2nd half of last season, or atleast on the bench.... at the tigers... why the f**k are we starting him, let him come off the bench, give hoskings a go, fmd give peachey a go, anyone but plodGarner has been playing with a plod team since he entered first grade. Lets not compare him to Kikau or expect him to be an instant success. Lets not forget that Kikau had lean years with us. Capewell was always banging on the door and the sharks paid dearly for that error in Judgement. He took 11 rounds to become consistent in his first season with us.
Garner has size, speed and knows how to run a line. He's an 80 minute player and can ball play. Notice how he rarely gets put on the ground or on his back? He isn't a superstar but he is a good player. I watch most games and he was always putting in, doing his job in a shit team with reserve grade halves. Give him time.
Lets revisit this at the halfway point. I think he will be a lot better.

Like when we are mid table, and can't figure out why we've lost 5-6 games by 1 point margins...He had an ongoing neck complaint for most of last season.
He hasn't played 80 minutes for us as there is no need to.
Lets revisit this later in the season![]()
