Burton is overrated.

Grubbers bring success. And it showed tonight

 

[The Dog House]

He looks miles off, Kikau too. That left edge was concerning defensively at the back end of the game.

Kikau was the first player to meet the winger/fullback off of our long kicks and constantly backed up his tackles with a second. Of course he’s gonna be a bit tired playing 80 like that

JAC for some reason too looked gassed in the final quarter.

Kikau's a ~60 minute player in a team that isn't dominant, he's going to get gassed in the back end.

Yeah Kikau was a corpse at the end but he looked twice the player he did last week.

You will be too after playing like that the first half. Have you ever seen us defend and attack like that, wow what a performance.

Surprised we didn't sub him, thought Preston looked fine in comparison.

Who do we have to sub him for? Our best option was Okunbor (lol) and I think he came on for Waddell (fair). Not 100% though

 

[turveys asthma puffer]

He missed a lot of preseason with injury, gaining match fitness now, his best is still to come this year. He was very good combining with JAC last year don’t forget, go back and watch our tries from last year if you have forgotten

Some great tries came off his kicks last year but he just doesn’t have the knack to put his outside man into space. He could play centre and still use his kicking game.

Understandable as they have had a shorter preseason.

 

[Doggone1975]

The guy has no ball playing skills. No creativity whatsoever. Can't even use the best 2nd rower in the game to his advantage. He clearly didn't want to be out there today in the scorching sun.

18 others lmfao

Okunbor came on for Preston. Could've shifted RFM to the left edge for a spell.

That’s why I said last week he would have a rest which he did. It’s the best way to play him and how Penrith utilised him.

I just can’t wait for TPJ to come back and hopefully Thompson comes earlier than expected. Add that to Davey and Patolo returning from injury and we have some competition for bench spots which we havnt had in a minute

 

[silva]

Happy that he was playing on both sides. And he’s still definitely a five eighth

All he needed was to come right, and he should continue. All the talk has been about our left edge but our right has been far better. Deadly team if we finally start clicking on the left like expected

 

[billy beane]

He did an interview and said that he wants to run the ball more, and has acknowledged that he needs to improve from the first 2 games.

How about he runs it then, not real hard .... dudes been saying the same thing for 6 months.

The left will fire ..combinations are building there and it is targeted by defence

 

[Raysie]

I still have major concerns. To be honest, I have major concerns with he and Flanagan.

Both just go missing completely and neither have shown they can manage a team. They're kicking games are woeful and with ball in attack they've almost become cock blocks for our edges.

Hoping Ciraldo finds fixes soon, as we're completely reliant on Mahoney at the moment.

Burton and Addo-Carr were close to the best combination in the comp last year, I just don’t get how adding Kikau and Alamoti has hurt that so much especially since both of them are playing well
