stop making errors would be a good start, in attack in dont think it would matter if we had staggs or chricton or whoever the big time left centers are, since metcalf got injured shaun and wayde only come out that way to hit ford with a short ball - thats it. Pass to his winger? why so he can...

They could have saved the first 3 tries with better defence berry is standing on top of Johnson and can’t get more than a weak shot on big suli, Monty same not trusting Roger cant make the tackle count, charnze had time to wrap up the ball - falls off. The aggressive line speed and gang...

But srsly 240 minutes in the middle Tohu 80 Barnett 60 AFB 60 Ale 30 Laban 10 it can work out

Poor Tohu going to end up in a wheelchair compensating for these benches, it’s getting a bit like the mannering days you do all the work cos Satae and Peyroux are playing 15 minutes combined

Roache will end up on the bench but won’t actually get on unless Egan is HIAd or the result is decided with 10 to go.

Any citings of Johnson taking the flight over? I could see CHT at 7 and both Pompey (or TT) and Zyon on the bench. Just because if he is carrying around a minor injury, this would be the game to rest him, 6 days since the last game, 6 days until the next one on anzac day - its a long season -...

Jazz would think he’s better than that and he’s probably right too, suits the modern game as forwards get smaller and more mobile. Would just be staying for family etc, love Jazz but someone will be going if they want to keep a path open for the young guys

Joey will be the same age 27/28 roger was when he changed codes (suprised me, rog seemed older) anyway he won’t be making the all blacks from out of Japan too many years honing the skills that don’t translate between the codes and by the time they relearn everything they aren’t young anymore...

Our starters are better their bench is better gotta blow them away in the first half hour

funny how they left the one.nz logo on this one after taking off of the heritage one - flag jerseys are always a bit weird

Thought our back 3 kept us in it, one error from them and manly probably put us away and required some old school SJ magic to reel in the deficit. Ultimately we are a defensive side and they scored too easily down our end, if your going to drop the ball have to keep them out.

I don’t think there is anyway Leiataua isn’t at least as good as Pompey but with more explosiveness and aggression, which would make him one of the better centers in the comp for many years. This is his age 21 season, can we hold him in reserve until Rogers contract runs out? Berry wont be going...

Tohu does look spry this year, and we do seem to hold our players back until they are ready, which is a good thing. But we’ve got all these young forwards and the best way to introduce them probably off the bench, walks having a lock on one bench spot may be a bit of a luxury and he was signed...

I could see Walker moving on for one last contract back in Aus. Also he didn’t look too flash to start the year and now he’s hurt, a lot of miles on those tyres as he started so young. Barnetts the one we don’t want to let go home

Yes, they beat the panthers, but they also lost to the dogwater dragons, ergo, inconsistent team, both teams had big emotional wins, but only one did it on the road and gets to come home to a sell out. i think one thing that will trouble us is teams with dangerous and physical back 5s, sharks...

Starting team picks itself, barring DWZ being out again, bench of CHT, Ale, Laban (can’t afford to take Barney out of the middle) and Walker (Jazz if unavailable)

He has the face of a criminal that bloke but he’s pretty good and fair, the less well known the ref the less match fixey they are, keep giving us the no names NRL. Lattrell was just trying to get himself suspended without actually hurting anyone, hearts not in it, didn’t want to be out there...

Laban will debut surely, they won’t go into a game with both CHT and Lussick on the bench and unlikely Barney is playing 80 either.

Yeah, despite how lethargic they’ve been, and seemingly off their coach, there’s nothing wrong with their team list (wingers are a bit plodding) and can easily see them taking an attitude of “we always beat these guys, we’ve got nothing to worry about” and trotting up 20+ points on us. Will...

Bloody 6 o’clock kickoffs can never get through a game uninterrupted, probably all been said, but Ford was very very strong today and RTS was majestic considering they don’t have him train at that position - TT was a good call for building depth and continuity but if you just wanted the best...
