It's not SJs fault, it is quite obviously the game plan.

Keary is another 6 getting out of the game
Injuries and head knocks.
Edge forwards are bigger than a few middles.
Kolotoatu Kikau etc

Terrific game from him.

Started slowly but built into the game.
Webster demanding he get more involved & to his credit he did.
I am of the opinion he is better suited to the right but hey .Went well.
His long kicking game was impressive.

He kicked one early in the game which should have been spread wide but overall pretty good.
I have been a critic as he wasn't getting involved enough but if you listened to Webster before the game he probably got a serve .
Good response from him
You mean his long range grubbers where literally nobody know which way it's gonna bounce
It was ultra effective to say the least, took their wingers forever to grab the ball
Started off the game not looking too flash tbh. Kicking wasnt great and our sets lacked the polish on them.
Got better as the game went on tho and that 2nd half his taking the ball to the line and some nice subtle touches and selective passing was absolutely top shelf,
I think it is more him that has to impose himself on a game tho. Against the chooks SJ got tackled right of the sticks opening up the left side, perfect oppertunity for him to organize his edge and have a crack, was nowhere to be seen, Egan was even looking for him from dummyhalf, ended up having to give it to Charnze sweeping around to right with nothing on.
Hopefully that Penrith display gives him (and the team) confidence that yes we do have a genuine attcking option and he starts owning that edge when we're back to full strength.

Best game for us he has played. Hopefully proves to himself that he can play in the halves at an NRL level and dominate. He has basically been invisible all season outside of the Rabbits game.
If the game plan isn't already being re-jigged to involve both Shaun and Te Maire then I don't know what to say. This is the way forward.

Great comment. I have always admired his decision making under pressure. I think he has a great instinct for the game and really suits our team. I felt like this year Egan and Johnson have been wanting to start where we finished last year and have forgotten the work it took during last year to get there. A few weeks as the 7 would be great for us long term
