Pompey out for 2 weeks now as he failed at the judiciary
Wow, thought they had a good case. Surely they could've pointed to the 20+ other instances of that exact same running/bracing technique that happen in every game...

I see that none of Ali, AKP, Gannon or Hanson have been named in the NSW Cup team...

So Ali in for Pompey. Maybe RTS to other centre spot if CNK out, and AKP to wing? With Hanson to stay as halves cover on bench, and the other bench spiot between EIT & Gannon?

I said it at the start of the season. Our forwards are comparable to any team in the comp. Our backs are shite. RTS has lost form over last two weeks. Pompey has been relatively consistent, in that he hasn't been shown up defensively, which might be luck, as the opposition have run down the the other side, virtually 'unopposed' so haven't really bothered changing attack points. I don't think, right now on form, RTS at centre is the answer. Which side would be play? Laban was at least a little responsible on Sunday for the leaks down that side.

Does Ali have an actual preferred side? I haven't paid attention to that. CHT will improve defence on his side (where Pompey would normally be).

Pompey got skinned by someone on the weekend, I forget who. He made 9 tackles, missed 3 and another was ineffective. I think the issues over the other side of the field hid the fact that he was way off, as well.

If we play to our true potential and have all players firing, we still need the Storm to have an off night or have Harry Grant and Munster go down with injury.

I still feel we may have the confidence truely smashed out of us by half time

Yes, from end of round 3 and thinking we are going to the Grand Final and contemplating buying flights now, to wondering if we will win another game and sure to be 3 & 3 after 6 and praying not to be absolutely flogged.......you'd think I would have learned something over the last 31 years. There's always hope but, Its a matter of faith, lets gone warriors, up da wahs

Need to go away from starting Leka at centre

Can he handle it, yes, but it is dulling his impact and the X factor he can bring to the side when he enters the game against tired legs
