Why did Critta play right centre?

Did Ciraldo want to plug the right side defence?

For when Sexton/Taffe replace Hutch?

Kiks got the 6 points for dally m.
he is now tied first with ponga with 17

...and they claw one back [16 - 6 just before half time]
Not watching the game - just the scores - but seems Biondi-Odo has been hooked, with Romano Cook into hooker, leaving Sexton to partner O'Neill in the halves. Hopefully he does well, we mount a decent comeback and demands selection for NRL next week.

I wonder if Sexton at hooker was to get him used to tackling the big guys. Switch up back to half back when they wanted to win the game.

I think bbo played hooker from the start sexton was always at 7

I think we will see Hutchinson and sexton playing 7 in the next couple weeks sexton has a lot of speed and is a good half

Hutchinson is not bad cc must see something we are not

Doesn't look like it will happen. They've moved Sexton to 9 in Cup, and they're getting pumped.

O'Neil is playing half (as I think he should) but he still seems some time off.

Ciraldo might do something very Un-Ciraldo-like and pick Taaffe at 7, but more likely he'll go passive and continue with the flailing Hutchison (I would love to be wrong).

Seems this will remain a blind-spot for Ciraldo. Hope the season isn't gone before he makes some positive changes.
So far, other than Tracey to fullback on game day (loved it), he seems to only engage in forced changes. It was a (big) problem last year (eg Perham) and is shaping up into a growing problem this year (with a similar result if it isn't fixed). *fingers crossed* he gets it together, and soon.

Taafe at 7 would be an upgrade from Hutch... hes a capable Half for sure...

Turpin was horrible

Turpin made 36 tackles. Patolo 9 Kautoga 4 .Did you actually watch the game?

exactly. Turpin played well enough to get a chance at halfback. His defence was awesome.

Now it wasn't lol. Hughes strolled straight through him in the lead up to the storms final try. He's an out and out plodder, shouldn't be anywhere near the 17.

Highes can do that to anybody. I remember him carving up Carrigan and Haas. They certainly aren’t plodders.

He was playing in the middle. He axed their forwards. Great game.

He's a plodder.

So you think Carrigan and Haas are plodders too?

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Because Turpin is remotely close to their level

No. But if you say he is a plodder because of something the two best middles in the game have done, than you have a very poor argument.

Curran deserves a shout as well.. he's taken a real leadership role in the middle, and is putting in work on both sides of the ball.

He's a plodder because he's a plodder.

Why is Averillo a plodder?

 

[Taylforth]

I'm the opposite, I don't think I've ever been this content after a loss . Of course I would have preferred the win,but there were plenty of positives.

Well fair enough. Kinda feel the same after so long doing nothing but losing, without even a whimper. At least we are now competitive. Winning most of the game stats and plenty of positives.
However what leaves me hugely frustrated is that both the South’s & Storm losses were games we should have won. Just needed a real game manager to ice the game. How good would 4 wins sound!!!
