First example of Paix overcalling Bhunt... quick ptb off Patty and Bhunt wanted it short side.. Paix goes himself to Kobe running a bit of a crash ball, but not really much on compared to Bhunt going at a short side on the back foot
That right side defence has been woeful.
They'd be hoping that Sua is just playing within himself given it's a trial... if this is him defending at his best then that edge is in for a long year
Lewis Dodd sin binned for that shot on Finau... The HIA came well after the shot and wording from the sideline was heat stroke or something wasn't it?
Finua looked in a bad way either way.
If it was heat stroke rather than an actual HIA, then the first delayed sin binning would already have...
Parra have given away two penalties now for taking too long to set their scrum, and Brandy or Vossy suggested they might be doing it to reset their line.
If so that could be a sneaky little trend that comes into the game.
They've given them away when inside their own 20m... so you remove the...
Maybe he's in a permanent drunken comatose state and News Corp have forced some poor AI bot to learn only from his previous articles to create infinite Buzzed content 🤔🤔
I remember him picking up an MCL injury vs Canberra one year going for it... got all tangled up in bodies around the try line.
But yeah he would have a very good conversion rate when going for it... I'm just hoping he picks his time right.
He's miles away from Dani Levi levels of hogging it...
Maybe the other aspect to it all is it being early season.
Attacks can be clunky early on and we've got Bhunt and what looks like a new hooker in the spine, as well as a new attacking scheme under Barrett coming into this year.
Intent early on will be defence, completions and grinding out...
He was in support because he went a crash ball to Jensen.
Jensen wouldn't be my first target for a crash ball, which is kind of my concern... however I'm hoping it was more about his vision and knowing Jensen was going to be 1v1 on the goal line, which would be an automatic trigger to go for...
One concern I have with Paix is also one of the massive positives that he brings, and it's about him picking his spots to call his own number at the try line.
A guy like Dani Levi brings plenty of attack to dummy half, can play pretty big minutes if needed and is just generally an NRL level...
I would prefer if we can keep Cobbo in one spot for the year... poor bloke has had to move and learn new positions every season, because he's the versatile guy across our backline.
He's played every position of the back 5 at this point... including some games at right centre (epic shutdown of...
It's also lock though... we only have 2 in the squad and both are in the starting 17... yet to be known if Kobe can play a full 80 if required as well.
Payne looks to be improving his ball playing and BTK looked like he had some great ball playing, but minutes would be the question.
I'm hoping...
