He played about 45 minutes and that's enough for him, unfortunately Georgallis bottled the interchange and had him play about 30 minutes in the first half. Our pack was completely out of balance while we ucked around interchanging centres, hookers and edge forwards.. absolutely horrendous. To'omaga was a must have this week yet we went with two forwards off the bench. Who the fuck knows why.

That was a lifetime ago lol. The appeal of bringing him in was that he could bring up a lot of the reserves and see if he could unearth something instead of fucking around with bringing in Pay..fast forward a few years and Georgallis is just a meme haha

100 per cent correct. No one can argue how unbalanced our team was today. SG has no idea. Bringing avo on because you hooked Lafai for a poor defensive read was an abysmal interchange. Avo is an attacking player who was never going to sure up an edge.

Ogden had a poor game, when he is on we are sacrificing defence for offence because he doesn't do many tackles, and when he does he rarely controls the ruck and slows down the PTB. No surprise that those two game breaking tries came when he and Sue were in the middle, Warriors were making easy metres and our line speed became noneexistent, and our edges became vulnerable.

I wanted to see how Ogden and Tolman went as a front row partnership, and actually the first 20 minutes was pretty good, Ogden was making some decent runs, and Tolman was a key contributor to slowing the Warriors in defence.

But at the end of the game Ogden had 12 runs for 108m and 50 pcm. Tolman 13 runs for 105m and 53 pcm. Tolman has twice as many tackles but 2 less missed tackles.

For everyone saying Tolman is powder puff, goes to show you see what you think it true, rather than what is really true. If Tolman was a powder puff today than so was Ogden.

Did you watch the game? The game is more then stats. Tolman always has good stats

Look at the play the ball speed, allowing JMK to run . For a team who can't score points that's Hight effective playing on the front foot ,.playing direct. Go watch Tolman he forces us to play sides ways. Play direct and open holes out wide as well as up the guts.
Tolman doesnt hit and slow their play down. Tolman gets beaten off the ground , and thanks when he can get them to ground.
