Is Mariner over-hyped? I haven't seen him do anything special in an NRL game, commentators keep talking about his speed but I just don't see anything standing out. Even with Dennis Kemp and Chris Walker at a young age you could easily see their speed was elite.
At least Brenko passes the fkn ball, he has greater syngergistic value to the team at half of Herbie's salary. Indvidually Herbie's a better player, synergistically Herbie's a dog's breakfast. Unfortunately for Herbs league is a team sport.
Too much selfish plays. Forgive-able game given Origin players were backing up, Cobbo coming off a hip injury didn't look 100%. Could've won the game with some close no-tries. They just didn't gel as a team today.
Can't wait for Herbie to piss off to the Dolphins, so frustrating watching his ball hogging ways.
Hunt replacing Walters will be a game-changer, better not count our chickens yet.
Cook should've played hooker, NSW really needed his running speed at ruck. Robson is too slow, should've been benched, put Murray at centre. Fittler's future coaching career is pretty much over.
- Try gone begging when Oates failed to pass the ball to Walsh/Herbie.
- Kobe, Piakura, Jensen, Smoothy needs more game time.
- Rushing defence on the left edge was our kryptonite.
