I undertstand exactly what Ram is saying. It is not that Mannah or Alvaro arent NRL players. Its more that we have a whole squad of them it seems.

For our team to become finals bound we need T rex, Terepo,KE to have huge seasons. The rest will do a job and fill in the pieces. Those 3 will determine if we have any grunt.

Kaysa also needs to step up. BA neglected the hooking position.

You're saying our attacking forwards need to play well, and not just our defensive forwards? What a crazy idea.

Terepo is the same kind of player as Mannah and Alvaro. You refusing to believe it doesn't make it any less true

He is much quicker than them, but I agree he is nothing special in attack. I suppose if he could catch he would be great at hitting gaps.

Yeah but my 88 year old grandmother is quicker than Mannah so I'm not sure that means a lot

Alvaro has a bit more toe than he generally gets to show

Terepo is super quick. I remember when he scored a couple of tries early on somebody mentioned in an article (or commentary) that he was one of the quickest in the club over 40 metres. It’s why some people think he ‘bends the line’. He certainly hits it very hard. He just lacks leg drive after contact.

I'm lost for words.

I thought we started with intent. Line speed was great & we looked enthusiastic like we had a point to prove.
That lasted all of 15min then we resorted back to previous weeks. No punch, No line speed, No support.
Corey Norman needs to go. He offers absolutely nothing. Problem is we have no other halves.
We have been cracked up the middle on 4 occasions in the 1st half & I wonder if we are lacking fitness.? To many holes opening up & the Tigers are exploiting that.
We had numbers around the ball on 2 occasions where the Tigers scored.
I don't know what to say any more. Just frustrating.
Its only half time & I'm hopeful the 2nd half is a different story.

Possession is killing us. We need to stop giving stupid penalties away and hang on to the f**kn pill. Then we need our halves to take the line on more often than they are . Then we will win some games. A brutal flogging coming up next week.
