Fusitua shit game, didnt look like he was trying. Johnson terrible on defence, both Fusitua and Johnson cost us points, Dale Copley had a field day.

Winnable game that we lose.

Mateo looked bloody hungry though, good to know we have some creativity up the middle when someone like Hurrell goes off and our strike power out to the right is negated.

Why did they keep kicking over and over to the same guy who took every bomb like a champ?

Anyway, might have been our worst performance since Cappy took over. For some reason I'm really mad about this one. They just played so stupid.

The Eels game didn't do us any favours. We need to be 10x better against Manly next week.

Unfortunately Passi had a shocker so he won't be back. Fusitua had his worst game in ages - they ran through that side of the field with ease all half.

Interested to hear what the Sam Tomkins brigade have to say about his performance.

Excellent.

Still not very good at a pull down 1 on 1 tackle, in comparison to Locke anyway... although in saying that its never fair to take this away from a fullback as the problem comes from the line defence anyway.

Not a top 4 team performance and probably seals that fate.
The 7:30 aest kick off got us again?
To many dumb penalties and mistakes cost us points at both ends.
Seemed to miss Hurrell in those final moments for a barn storming run.
Broncos last ditch D made the difference in the end.

I'm not part of the brigade but I'd say he was one of our better players. Attacked more on kick returns than we've seen before and was generally solid.

Thought he missed two tackles he should have made that lead to 2 tries.

Entertaining game but we need to get clarification from the refs about our tackle technique. They seem to call held instantly even when the feet were on the ground and we were pushing them back. Even penalized us for it.

Chad was very Fien/Witt like in his bomb to Manu campaign tonight.

After first 12 mins we seemed to think we had it wrapped up.
The right edge was very piss poor in defense.
Will be interested to see what Cappy has to say.

He competes very very well, light on his feet, distributes fairly well...all hallmarks of a good 6.

But defensively he is well below par, and his acceleration just isn't there.

So do I.

And we lose territory too often by opposition kicks finding turf, and comfortably. Hunt's kick in the final minutes was good but no way should that have nigh-on pinned him in goal.

Tomkins wasn't bad but he's deadset the slowest fullback in the NRL.

That's interesting because on the last 40/20 Johnson said Tomkins came out as the fastest player in the squad in their speed tests. Don't know what kind of test that is but he definitely doesn't lack pace. It's probably more due to slow or ineffective decision making that puts him slightly out of position rather than being actually slow.

2 points lost tonight. Nelson solid if laumape back next week I'd probably give fusitua a rest in Nsw cup.
