A few times after trying to do a move Walker had to settle for hitting it up himself then after playing the ball was yelling and pointing at Metcalf that he wasn't in position. So it does look like Walker is killing the play but it's the only option sometimes for him.
Yes. Those 2 young guys off the bench were enormous last night.Huge promise & Laban to come thru yet.
Thought Luke played as a link man & never attacked the line.Maybe an off night or playing to instructions Who knows?
CNK was obviously great .JFH also went about his work largely unnoticed.Pomps adequate. CHT was great & seems to be growing in confidence.Marata was bruising both sides of the ball.Capes was better & needed to be with whats on the bench.
Egan was great & seems to have learned new tackle techniques.Barney was Barney very good .
Ali is unstoppable near the line he is going to be a Great for us.
Confidence is growing in the entire team even AW has more confidence in his bench use. Great night overall
Every time he touched the ball!
7 runs, 90m (just under 13m per run), 47 post contact.
I was at the game thinking it was Demetric carving up and announcing himself to the NRL.
Got home and it was Leka.
We might need to upgrade this boy soon - that was immense.
I was thinking exactly the same - AFB is a deadset star, but such a prima donna and doesn't gel with his team mates. Now we have a unit.
80mins, in the grind, and finish the last 20 far stronger. Can't remember a more satisfying win.
I thought the game would have quietened Marata's critics, I thought he was immense last night, good work rate and damaging. And Leka coming on late to skittle some Sydney Cocks was prime viewing! Created the broken field for TT to have a scuttle which in turn set up for the last try.
Ali vs Nawaqanitawase was just great sport, 2 real talents playing hard and in good spirit. Thoroughly enjoyed their duel.
Leka and Vaimauga/Sifakula are very special players! Add in Ali L and wow! I liked the way Metcalf was barking at the end. I just feel a few tweaks and maybe 1-2 good players and we are a potentially top 4 team.
Given how Toddy walked out on us and pretty much did it on live TV, there is a sense of schadenfreude watching this slowly play out… but that’s not for this thread.
Gutsy win. I’m more pleased about the 6 points conceded. We keep defending well then we give ourselves a chance every week,.
To break the roosters hoodoo is sweet and satisfying. Another club I am not a fan of. Well done to the boys. Some great effort plays from our old heads and young guns. That’s what excited me.
Ali and Leka look superb. Our front row is exceptional, Clark is definitely buy of the year, CNK had a standard setting performance (aside from the positioning on Le Chads 40/20)
Tigers next. Winnable away with a 9 day turnaround. I’m backing us here with a decent rest.
Then a bye and a good 14 days before Storm. This is the year of breaking hoodoos. With that workload, we will be reasonably fresh for that challenge.
2-1. Let’s make it 3 next week. Well done tonight boys!
Glad Leka's ability is starting to show in first grade now.
A feel like the fans of this club have been so scarred by juniors with potential in the past, they will immediately dismiss anyone saying he's the next big thing.
Hopefully he continues to work hard and doesn't let it get to his head.

Ivwatched the delayed covreage on free to viee. First off there are some hard critics on here. I thought it was just what the yeam needed as a performance. They groundbout avwin aga8nst a strong resilient opposition.
Mistakes are bound to happen but they were kept to a minimum and completions were high.
I guess Harper will replace RTS, or maybe Kosi. Some very good performers in the NSW TEAM.
i would tempted to leave Pompey on the Wing and use Rocco.

164m by Erin in 45mins. Crazy stuff
I've been really impressed with Ford to be honest. A lot of people couldn't find room for him in their 17, yet he seems to do the job he's always asked.
Has started, played a 30 min stint off the bench and tonight I thought he was one of our better players. 1 error and 0 penalties on 3 games is excellent for him too, seems to have really tidied up that area of his game.
I know he spilled a couple tonight but CHTs try turned the tables and I felt his try against Manly also broke the shackles. Good on ya son, keep backing yourself in those moments.
Charnze was outstanding

Last year we would have lost that game for sure.
Big shift in mentality and hope it becomes the new normal.
Marata’s run metres are deceptive, he gets late ball into contact so makes fewer metres per carry
One other thing about CNK….. 95m off those were post contact. What a machine!!!
