Much better tonight. Far more expansive and trying to play.

Imagine what we could do with an actual 6 & 7?

Oh bugger me, George has turned up, with a try

Credit where it’s due we have played very well tonight. Efficient is the word I’d choose to describe it. It’s evident Budgie has lost a yard of pace though!

Better. Much, much better.

How good was Sam. Such a shame he’s off, after performances like that tonight (and last week)

Got chased down well by Cas defenders on both runs. That pass to Gildart was worth the entry fee alone.

Did anyone see him chucking his muck up after his first run. Half his lunch came out. It’s getting to be a regular thing with him now, is it exhaustion or something else?

True but he seems bigger than when he first came into the team.
Would the skinny flyer Burgess have been able to put Webster into next week ?

His breaks were pure class and as I said on another thread, reminded me of Gary Connolly! I’m sure there’s a great centre in him somewhere!!

Maybe, but we haven't seen it so far. Great win, though.

Sam was MOM for me. Lost pace but a better overall player nowadays. Great reading of the game, Hampo esq under the high ball and added some much in attack. Sad to potentially lose him.

Burgess; starting to show why he's so good, has he lost pace? Hard to tell. Depending on fatigue. You try to spirit your heart out when you're already gassed, it just doesn't happen. RL is so hard, having to sprit with nothing in the tank is practically impossible. But on a positive that hand off was something Greg Inglis would have been proud of!

Left edge is starting to click, right is a big issue. I'd highlight the 7 and right centre as areas to improve. (This is no knock on Bateman, he's no centre being asked to play centre).

This needs addressing.

He has been doing it for years, since his academy days at least. Probably just a quirk of his body.
