FFS so Kennar lasted all of 20 minutes?

Chase Stanley Mk 2 it seems.

How about give him a chance in our colours instead of jumping to conclusions. According to the injury report he was touch and go to return. Maybe he felt a niggle and was put in a moon boot just in case

Abbey - when he gets in the clear he looks good BUT is easily dominated in tackles. He wasn't bad today - diffused a few in goal kicks and seemed to get to the ball but never threatened when bringing the ball back from kicks. If anyone else was there would like their thoughts - Francis Tualau looked good - made ground and threatened whenever he had a run. First 15 to 20 minutes the Dogs were the better side after that couldn't hold the ball.

I agree about Tualau - he looks good.

Disagree about Abbey. He was good, in fact, easily our best. He's in the ISP team of the week at Fullback (on the NSWRL Website). Stats:
180 total metres, three line-breaks, six tackle-breaks, one try-assist, one try.

Pretty handy stats.

He's never going to run over the top of people, but he's no Barba to get pushed back into the ingoal fielding a ball. He's going to improve with time and a bit more bulk will help him.

[Mr Invisible]

Woolford and Lewis on the bench?

I wonder who steps up in NYC since Tramontana is suspended (again).

Also is Bronson Garlick banished to Auburn Warriors these days?

Fair - Abbey at least has pace and his stats were very good. Maybe I was too critical.
Was I too critical of Reimis Smith? - seemed to be easily run past and doesent seem to offer much in attack.

 

[ALX25]

Reimis might be lacking confidence due to his previous injury.

 

[Doggiezbrah]

Massive game for the boys. Plenty of spots up for grabs. Hoping a few of them plead their case for a spot!

No, just watched the highlights. Smith was a liability in defence and was easily beaten by pace by Reuben Rennie.

I'm so confused. Des stacks the bench with the biggest forwards possible while our ISP side has Lewis and Woolford on it haha.
