You need to stop expecting cleary levels from luai smug. They arent the same style and its just not a like for like comparison. Luais kickings been good.

But as Ive said for the last few weeks he needs a genuine 7 with him not burton..

Franklin is delusional if he thinks this attack is passable.

We look literally 70% worse without nath and adding api and yeos made that improve 10% if that..

We just need to accept our attack hasnt got much without nath @franklin2323

On a positive note tago is a special player.

Tmay jnr has shown more on debut than staines has in 12 months.

Kiks is really having a dig and leota has been going hard.

Like i said pre match this is going to be a battle. The chooks look up for it and Joey manu and teddy are absolute freaks. I think this will go down to the wire.

Momo has looked good tonight. Everyone has really. We are up on effort levels this week.
He never even looked at Staines with the overlap. Went himself and risked bombing the try rather than handing Staines a sure thing.

Taylan May looks to be trying to emulate Brian To'o. He's nowhere near that yet obviously. But he's not doing bad either. Looks quiet strong and not bothered by the physicality of doing that job.

Not expecting that, Burton is filling that role. Luai is no where, get involved merkin

Jarod got the bin for a professional foul, the commentators are banging on about it, but he deliberately slowed the play down in a try scoring situation.

THe commentators are correct in that it should be a sin bin, but almost never is. Pretty uncontroversial take, really.

I know a lot of people are off Staines at the moment but I think he does a pretty good job. He defends above his weight, his tackle on Crichton is an example. He is young and needs a big off season but I haven't seen any reason to drop him.

Hes had 3 or 4 really good kicks which have been difficult for the chooks to handle. But your expecting him to steer the team around (or burton) and they just arent those kind of players mate.

Nah. Not with his hands. He'd have thrown it into touch. I'm much happier he went for it himself when the opportunity was there. Good try.

Taylan reaffirms the systems we have in place at the club. Every player who debuts for Penrith looks like a first grader. He has not looked out of place at all.

That was a great tackle. He mustve got a rocket this week from ic because he had more touches in the first 12mins this week than 80 last week.

Has been better but needs to keep up the involvement. Go looking for the ball and offloads.

I'm expecting him to run the f**king ball. How dense are you?

Matt Burton playing some very smart football tonight. Just choosing his moments.

Yeo and Korisau are really taking the pressure of him.
