Milford needs to speed things up , If he is running at speed he will put questions in the minds of the defense .ie Will he pass or run? He needs to stand deeper and run on to the ball . He should not be named in the same sentence as Locky who incidentally I think was even a better...

I think our fortunes in this game will depend mainly on Hunt. He was poor against the Dragons and did not step up and take control when we needed him. I hope Vidot gets another chance , either on the wing or in front row. Except for his errors ,which surely WB can flog out of him, he was...

What a dog of a game. Hit up after hit up from both sides and then the token shuffle it out the back line on the third or fourth tackle and then the bomb. We did not deserve to win , although we easily could have. Some of our sets when attacking the line were truly horrendous .We seriously...

I would genuinely fear Adam Reynolds. Hope the Blues don't pick him. The guy is second only to JT in the half back department and the best goal kicker I have ever seen.

I agree. South Sydney are masters at this. I think part of the strategy is to wear the refs down to the-point when they are sick of giving penalties . Especially noticeable when Souths are defending their line when they really try to slow down the play the ball and the backs are very often...

A fairly cynical viewpoint (but probably correct). It's very annoying to think that with the quality of the slow mo replays the video refs can't make a 100% technically correct decision if everything is in clear view. I just don't know what kind of specifics the NRL rule book goes into...

I agree with this summation. This is near identical to the Thaiday try disallowed by video refs in Origin 2 last year . We really need a clarification on this by the head ref . As the skill of defenders to find a way to stop tries continue to reach new levels , this question is bound...

WB has brought back some true grit to this side. I really appreciate the way all the fowards ran the ball up all night into a pack of hard hitting big boppers, Took guts. Thaiday led brilliantly. The effort the boys put in to quick play the balls was crucial. Our line speed was better until...

Great to get another two points , however I see real problems in our defence. Our line speed was just too slow. In fact our backs were just stationary most of the time. This ensured that in most sets the Tits made 40 or 50 metres and got in position to put in good attacking line kicks on...

On Paper , not that much between the two teams. Let's not get overconfident , we still are far from a slick outfit. I have been moderately impressed by Milf , but this week I am hoping some bone fide line breaks. One worrying sign last week was the slowness of our defensive line speed and only...

OK BP , let's agree to disagree on the Thaiday no try. Did you see the segment on grandstand when Patten was insisting it was OK for Gallon "to assert his authority over Myles". (referring to the unprovoked punch fest on Myles head) Wilko the compare seemed flabbergasted that Patten , then a...

I can't quite follow your logic on this one BP. What difference does it make if Hayne intentionally or unintentionally played at the ball? Sam only had to fall on the ball with out knocking it on for it to be a try .He does not have to regather it before it hits the ground. Don't forget...

Bias is not necessarily premeditated dishonesty. It can be subconscious and out of the individuals control to a degree. Warrens and Gould's and Sterling's love for the blues simply allowed them to ignore the fact that Hayne knocked the ball out of Thaiday's hands last year.Their emotion...

What genius thought up the idea of letting ex players control of the video box? Surly we need fully qualified experienced referees in control of SOO . Patten was an actual video ref when he defended Gallon using Myles head as a punching bag. Now that's got to tell you something about the...

As State of Origin anticipation begins , my focus once again becomes the video ref , Luke Patton. The guy is on record as saying he had no problems with Gallons unprovoked assault on Myles two years ago. That is water under the bridge, but it shows where his heart lies. Don’t forget who was...

Any win is a good win. Though we were outplayed in the second half the boys still hung in there. Some great takes by Kahu under some terrific bombs by Johnson. Positives · Hodges given a roving role in attack and not stuck on the right side. (At last!) · Minimal handling...

Good signs for the year, but also plenty of room for improvement. Great to see all players making maximum effort to get quick play the balls,despite the cows getting far to much leeway in the hold down. I know Milford is still building his game,but how good is it to have an actual five eight...

One positive from last weeks game was the quality of Hodges running game. He looked to be striding out really well and on the verge of creating something. Does anyone know what WBs policy is regarding strictly assigning centres to the left or right . I have never understood the logic of it...

Hope some pieces of our attacking jig saw puzzle fall into place this week. I am hopeful but remain unconvinced about our attacking ability. We still seem to lack real fire power out wide. Personally I think Reeds days are numbered.
