Gee Payten is a salty prick. I reckon the players are all looking for the knife in their back with him. He seems to be the opposite of the modern relational coach.
Warning ptsd alert - Warriors losing to 11 man Sharks.

He's got everything you need on attack. To make it in FG he will need to show his defence has improved, and so far he has missed a game high 3 out of his 8 tackles.

Probably because they are so ashamed of this:
Not teal again o_O
Do you reckon we will ever see Australia in anything except green and/or canary yellow? They haven't released their kit yet. Maybe they will play in lavender.
I hope it puts the perspective on the shade thrown at Montoya a bit. RTS kept possession 15/18 times, and Montoya has received some hospital passes at times. Having said that RTS hasn't had much space to work with either.
Wingers need the ball to gain confidence and momentum.
