Feeling a bit better about our wing stocks with Kali.
Stay healthy bro
Stay healthy bro
Fatialofa, Ali, Kali all decent games. Congrats NSW Cup on breaking a club record 
Kali with the hat trick right on full time, quick flick pass finds grass from Ali, but acres of space. Ali has put on some great shots on D today playing no.6.
7 tries to 3, more convincing than scoreline shows. Jett misses again, 32-18.

RLP has the ref listed as a local fella, Paki Parkinson. We have a phenomenal record under him

Is that 13 in a row? that will be a record won't it? They may never lose again...
Yep. One more than the 1996 team on their way to the GF

He is not very good.
Understandably.
Great win. Especially with twelve men at the end and one injured briefly.
Agree Going was our best and I was very happy about that because I think he is pretty vanilla normally, hope this is the start of him kicking on.
The scoreline really doesn't underscore how dominant we were. 7 tries to 3 but only 32-18. If Tanwah was kicking, it would have been closer to 40-18. Men vs boys out there.
One downside with cup side is that they do tend to switch off a little bit after HT in most of these games. Sometimes I feel like cup is just too easy for some of our boys. Guys like Fatialofa are clearly in this pickle where they are not quite ready for first grade but way too good for cup. So I do sense a bit of complacency building in a little bit. But maybe I am reading too much into it.
Anyway awesome to break the record.

That is an impressive winning record.
Tafua had a good stint. Was around 4 minutes to go when I saw him walking down the side line.
Ale did some good work. Not sure if he's still carrying an ankle injury. Saw one player when the Bears scored early in the second half getting checked out. I couldn't make out who it was could have been Fukofuka.
Cleary did look like he was doing alright organising the side. It is probably best to be reserved on him as his name means you can pump him up more than what is reflected on the field. He's still developing. A lot of the others have played quite a lot in this grade and are closer to first grade.
On attack he was often swinging around the ruck to create extra numbers on the right but the ball went the other way. He was frustrated and Tafua was probably wondering where my half back went.
Crosby. No worry on that boy not having his diet on point. Barely any fat on him.
Might have been where I was sitting and the chatter behind me. Or the size of the crowd being a bit larger than in the past. At past games it has been good to hear the talk on the field. Something Warriors teams in the past have been criticised for but they have been pretty good in that aspect. It was hard to make out today.

I have no idea whether he can be anything like his brother, but he is vastly overrated at the moment, and that was before he came into cup.
I am happy to wait and see, just calling it how it is right now. He is crap.
He is slow, flat footed, doesn't have good instincts, poor position, kills the play.
Who knows, maybe he will grow into it.

Thompson is the halfback they should be focusing on.

Yeah he has more to offer for sure.
Congratulations on the record. Thoroughly deserved. 36 individuals used so far too so plenty of disruptions to contend with.
One gripe, the media coverage has improved but why bother wasting time to write something like this the day prior to kickoff when internally they know most of the players mentioned won't even be in the country?
