Goodwin should never see first grade again.
No wonder KK has played 5/8 if Roberts is the next choice. Good luck Eels.
Taupau is lazy and needs to get more involved before being considered for first grade.
Morrin is a good player that has more heart than most forwards at the club.
Reynolds is not a half or 5/8
Foster is not up to it and hasn't been all year
Smith is a loss for us
Armit should have seen more first grade time
Romelo has to be in the 17
Lett needs to be in for Wright

That's all

Hard to argue with that

I'll say though that Reynolds has to be in the 17 as interchange hooker. His time in FG has highlighted that!!

One more brainsnap from Lett to remind everyone why he's got all the physical tools for First Grade, but none of the mental ability.

"Shielding" a grubber kick dead and allowing the attacking player to reach between his legs to touch the ball down.

Amateur hour.

True but we have seen many a first grade player across the NRL do similar this year. Wright just can't catch...anything!

I think you are being way to harsh on Tapau and Reynolds

To be fair on Tapau, he is underdone.

Reynolds discipline still sucks!! again 20m out of the opponents line foul play penalty!! he keeps doing it.

I hate the "he's young, he'll learn" defence, but I keep praying it applies to him. Such a talent, but such an idiot too.

Unlike that sharpshooter Turner?
Goodwin was originally our goal kicker, you would have thought he'd improve his kicks in NSW cup.He has been kicking for 2 years now and still can't convert from the sideline.

We just won the NSW Cup 30-28. Gratz boys

Lett was sensational. If he isnt a regular in FG soon, something is wrong.

Tapau is a big unit. Bigger body than Jamal, and bigger hair than Mason when he had a fro.

Wright won the match for us as was solid, made some good breaks.

Reynolds was pretty good apart from some discipline related misdemeanors. He has a short kicking game....who knew.

Cutler is really unlucky that Barba is fullback, hes one of the best players we have in the reggies. MOTM in the GF.

We will see more of romelo in the FG side next year.

Have to agree with some about Goodwin. While he runs with vigor and kicks ok (but not better than Turner), he isnt going to get a start ahead of Turner/Wright/Lett.

x10

taupau was pretty good he is an impact forward still a bit unfit but is a first grade player for certain

personally id rather reynolds at 5/8 over keating ANY DAY OF THE ****ING WEEK at least he plays with passion and can actually pass the bloody ball on the last play he deadset reminded me of 2004 sherwin and el masri play

APart from one run what did he do for the 20 mins he was on the field???? I don't think he made more than two tackles. No where near first grade at the moment

I hope i never see Josh Reynolds in first grade at Canterbury ever again, He is ill disciplined and his game leaves a lot to be desired, Ever heard of not turning your back on the play.
But great to see the dogs sneak home for a trifecta of premierships

you cant judge players on 1 game, reynolds for instance has been a revelation for us in FG.

lett had a good game, but i get the feeling hes been at so many clubs he will be just like roberts. on the verge of reaching his potential but never able to be consistent enough because of constant brain snaps.

anyway, sensation game to watch, was a bit sloppy but winning in the last 3 seconds is just pure excitement. dont tell me you all werent yelling at the tv set as well.

GO DOGS.
