We're making way too much of the Tigers win. They haven't won in Auckland since 2018, we'd beaten them in the previous 8 encounters and they rolled out a halves pairing that had never played a NRL game together before
How long since we had two influential SOO starting players, neither of whom played against the Tigers..
Throw in CNK and the Dally M leader.
That’s some serious outs.
So you have to give some big kudos to the quality of the squad that has been assembled and the buy in of back up players who are enjoying being a part of being in a winning reserve grade side hoping for the call up.
We weren’t perfect v Tigers but once again the effort was there.
Starford is easily in the top 5 offensive centres in the NRL. However his defence is getting progressively worse and I can see a case of him getting dropped soon. Probably happen next season. Too many other holes in the dyke for Benji to plug first.

They may have sold or given away all the tickets but I’m estimating only 2/3rds of the ticket holders attended.
It was embarrassing to sit in the stand and see all the empty seats and then for the announcer in the second half to highlight a crowd figure of 24,000 odd!
