Agree his service is not Great and seems to always want to take time with the ball before passing … he will need to sort that out and insure of coaching staff are all over it
yeah but so did cam and so does harry.

He's gotta learn when he should and shouldn't do it

His passing seems all over the place don't you think?
Behind a good pack his run game will be destructive but.
Other than the couple that went to ground because he tried to engage defence instead of just passing it, it’s been no worse than dozen other hookers in NRL. And again because NSW Cup is generally slower, he’s not really going to improve it there either

Yep the tackle on last and 2 bad passes should be learning moments. Like Lomax with going for hero intercept after Papali’i’s intercept and the strip after being stripped… which why the f**k was that a penalty?!? Lomax gets held in a tackle by 3 defenders for an eternity, they drop off so Clifford can strip ball then Lomax runs him down, Moses(?) drops off tackle, Lomax strips it, knocking it backwards. Where was the penalty?!?
That was easily one of the worst officiated in a long time of really shit refereeing.

i think our strip the ref called Held whereas when Lomax had the ball he hadn't called held.

I think the ref calls held when there is no forward progress

Then why wasn’t it called held when Lomax was tackled? They haven’t called held when no forward progress for a decade at least.

So a copy-and-paste with Moretti starting again (and named to do so), Walker and De Silva on the named bench.

Iongi as a smokey named in the #21, with Dunster who didn't get a game anywhere last week named in the #20.

A bunch of no names in that Rabbits team - with Cody Walker in #22...

I'll take number two, thanks. All depends if Lomax and Penisini can contain Mitchell and Johnston. Should be fairly easy.
Contain Mitchell and you contain Johnson. Need to stack our right side defence when they get into our red zone to counter Michell's cut out pass to Johnson. Ryles should insist that our winger stay onto Johnson regardless of what happens inside him! Will be a big test to our edge defence which worked extremely well last week. Essentially contain Mitchell and Gray, their only 2 decent attackers, and you contain Souffs.

Whilst our defence has improved post Waqa etc, Souths have always been our bogey team.

Some merkins are saying Cody Walker will play too.

Latrell, Walker, AJ give me nightmares TBH.

TBH, I am quite confident with our defense and it will be great if L,W,A are all playing and using their left hand shift.

It will really test our right side defense (hopefully Lomax doesn't run out and stays his ground).

If we don't handle it, I can bet the coaching team will work on it after watching post game videos and try to fix it.

Furthermore, the attacking coach can analyze how they can burn us so easily and adopt it into our attacking structure.

Good Times !!!

I think there are still defensive holes/lapses on the side with Lomax and Penisini, ready for a smart/talented player to exploit all day long.

I was confident this game could be a win for us, but as game day approaches and I think it through more, I'm not as confident. Not at all.

I think it will be high scoring to both sides. And I have a sinking feeling the Rabbitohs will pip us, by like 30-28.
