Need to be better at home. It should be to our advantage all the time.

You just know if he played on and ‘scored’ we’d be lamenting Ford for not playing to the whistle- was an unlucky penalty

In hindsight easy to say but I think we got our pack wrong tonight. With Capewell out, should we have had Niukore in the back row & afoa start:
JFH
Egan
Afoa
Niukora
Leka
Clark
Bench:
TMM
Leban
Ford
The dude that looks like Leka
Just felt we went with too much youth.
CNK does some good stuff in defence but maybe it’s me, seems to be a lot of mistakes.
None hindsight: Todd smith was awful. How they missed that hip drop & the pace of our play the ball…. Terrible

The guy took the ball up 23 times for 215mm
He was immense in getting us hard yards up the middle when our pack were huffing and puffing to get back
Unless you meant CHT and got your abbreviations wrong
I thought our halves were poor

Made me even more proud of the kid. He looked gone.Then ran a hundy to make that tackle.

After the game, that guy was out taking photos and signing stuff for a-a-a-ages, like he didn't want any kid to miss out. Absolute diamond.
He’s going to be an absolute star, he loves the contact. That return from the kick off was immense and then he let out a big holler after he played the ball. I’m finding his finesse pretty special for someone his age and early in his career. Some of the older guys are starting to look out of place with the energy the young guys coming through are bringing
I actually think it was the right move to start Niukore in the front row and it would have paid off had none of the craziness that followed happened.
Agree regarding Todd Smith. I do not want to get him in any future games this year.
CNK's defence,heart and committment more than makes up for any small deficiences in other areas. Would be ideal if he had a touch more pace but he has been comfortably our best player over the last month. He is also rock solid under the high ball (with the odd exception).
He is no Kalyn Ponga or Reece Walsh who can roam wide at pace and set up his outsides with a cut out pass but he gets everything out of the gifts he does have. If you could combine CNK's heart and defence with the attacking vision and pace of Walsh you would have the perfect fullback.

Oath.
I wonder if there will be a sit down about duty vs injury.
That try just before half time was kinda on DWS, a little.
He should have stayed down instead of trying to be a hero. Got run right through.
You’ve got to admit Demitric Vaimauga & Leka Halasima look alike?
My point was, the youth did look good but to asking them to play 80 minutes is a lot. It clearly didn’t work tonight.
Im 90% sure there was a whistle, I thought it was strange that Ford paused and then tackled him after the whistle. That's why it was a penalty.

No they don't dude. Might want to check your glasses.
Same haircut?
