why? What did he do to contribute to that loss or the loss vs the dogs?

It is not him that is being exploited defensively, he is part of a well developing left edge attack.
He was poor against South’s. Of course wasn’t the only one but we have a young Dylan Egan waiting for a shot who’s in the top 30

Big Nelson might have a judiciary charge.
So if he doesn't there goes 10 incorrect play the ball infringements if he plays.
But I bet the ref will let them go.

How/when did we get exploited in defence in and around Leiluia?
We seem more fragile in and around the gaps near SuA than the gaps near Leilua

Agreed RR.
I’m a fan of Su’a but he’s been disappointing defensively.
I wonder if he’s affected by the Molo thing ? A bit like the Frizell / JDB thing.

Anyway it would be lovely to have an edge like Nikora or Martin who come out of the line looking to hurt someone.

IMO,
Buchanan to replace Suli
LL to bench and include in the front row rotation
Give Egan a shot, at least he'll bring some enthusiasm
Agree, RFM and Lawrie to ressies
Ilias has been disappointing but I think its too early to drop him. I would say though that he's on his last chance against Storm. If he goes it should be Kyle to 7 and LKT to 6.
I'd also consider giving Liddle more time on the field, at 13 if necessary. Rotate with Cook and JDB
It won't be long before we need to start to drip feed the likes of LPT, Latu, Halangalu, Lui & Egan into the NRL
I'd also consider replacing CT with Finau. Sure he's scored tries but he is slow and we need some pace. Plus his try scoring celebrations are embarassing.
If we have to try something else what about Gutho to 5/8 with Illias to 7 might help him having Gutho there , Sloan to fullback Finau to wing ........ Liddle needs to be getting more game time .......

An improved line speed and on goal defence with better forward pack bolstered by Klem.

Guler and T Chouman who has been outstanding to start.

Keep Stewart, RFM and Liddle on the bench with Sele to come back in reggies.

Val to get his radar back, and a rocket should see a solid performance.

If I was our coach ( and I’m not) barring injuries I’d play the same side BUT I would be telling the players that this is your LAST chance otherwise you’re playing for Talia

Yes there seems to be a lot of hysteria when the fact of the matter is that in two rounds we have conceded 9 tries ....... AND scored 9 tries. With those stats we have been extremely unlucky not to have jagged one win. Just like we lost both, we could just as easily have won one or both games. We haven't been that bad and one of our opponents is touted as top 4 and the other has Clint Eastwood as coach. The wrist slitting is so melodramatic. Our spine has played 160 minutes of NRL level footy together. There just isn't any patience floating around

No patience for Val's radar. He kicks a couple of goals and we're 2 and 0. Frustrating to say the least.
