A commentator made a good point (can't remember which one) that the big, mobile guys aren't as valuable as expected. It's the smart, skilful players doing the damage. Bring on tempo if he's available!
Yeah, this game is great for halves, centres and second rowers with speed.

Dugan is a superstar
99% of the time beats 1st defender with ease
wouldve loved for us to of sacked barba 1st thing last year and made a massive or should i say earlier play at dugan.
I have to admit he has turned it all around after leaving Canberra, he could of been something real good at the back of our pack.

He and Morris (plus a few other players) are wasted at the Dragons with their current coach lol

Damn... Souths so close to holding Souths to nil.

Warriors highest score with 25
Dogs, Dragons lowest with 4.

Why couldn't we verse Penrith or Storm? They were shocking. Worst teams I've seen today.

Lol. The eels are favoured to smash us !
I'm not concerned, I know we haven't taken this seriously, but am I the only person who thinks we probably should have. I didn't care before the first game, but now I do. Don't like seeing any team wearing our jersey (somewhat) playing poorly.

Goodbye All Stars match. This is actually so much fun to watch.

Tedesco is having an awesome tournament. Thats 3 clear try savers in 1.5 games plus a scintilating try!

This Sharks and Tigers game is turning into a Toyota Cup game, mistakes and tries being scored to quickly/easily.

The only bad sport out there is Farah... Poor form indeed.

Tell you what.. Kasey Badger on the sidelines has some serious pace. Kept up with Tedesco.

I agree, goodbye All Stars.. imagine this at ANZ.. they'd pack it.

I'd give her one too. Gavin is punching above his weight.

Is it just me, or is this a great example of why we don't need scrums.
Not really, scrims give the backs opportunities to have some time and space for set plays and whatnot, they don't really need that as much in 9s since there's already 4 players missing

I feel ripped off that they didn't show why everyone was cheering
