gannons been excellent since coming on. team wise just patience. much better after a horrific start

[quote="christopher":3bwi0fco]Palesia? He was excellent today. Hes nothing like Tetevano.[/quote:3bwi0fco] I didn’t say he was

Havnt seen the game yet, stats on SL website have Cooper Jenkins at 12 hit ups/48 meters/4 meters per carry....Am i right in thinking those stats must be wrong?

[quote="tad rhino":2r1d4xgf]totally agree. a workhorse. might not be spectacular but he never stops in attack or defence[/quote:2r1d4xgf] Yep. Thought he did a great job of leading the pack. Seen him a few times in the flesh now and I keep noticing how hard he hits in the tackle. Don't think that comes across on the box as much. Also really like Jenkins. He has really sound technique and great leg drive. Could be a really good one. All in all I'd say I'm as pleased today as I was dissapointed last week. That felt like the first authentic Arthur performance. Let’s hope we can back it up next week.

[quote="rollin thunder":1p5ww1x6]I didn’t say he was[/quote:1p5ww1x6] Ok someone else did. His stats look impressive for ‘a real plodder’.

Much better than last week overall. On the positives, Palsia grafted hard as did McDonnell who went very well today. Both Jenkins and Holroyd good. Gannon showing bits of class. In the backs , Lumb did really well under the high ball and with ball in hand. Lost Nene a couple of times but McDonald ran hard. Key to me was Jake Connor , some touches of real class in his passing and kicking. On the negative side for me, we still looked very limited on attack , Connor aside. Someone said about 4 tackle and 5 tackle plays are Normally just 1 man drives. Early In second half v 12 men, we started a set on our 40. We did 5 one man runs and then Frawley dummied and ran on the last tackle. Bar Sneyd, Watkins and McDonald I thought they looked pretty average. I think a top team would have stuck 50 plus on them today but I am grumpy, which is entirely age appropriate. On Bentley, he made 4 errors in first 30 minutes but was also limping around and I was surprised he stayed on. But credit to his guts , he kept going and got a real comedy try which he grafted for. On a wider point , our squad looks very short on depth. Hope we don’t get bitten by it early but I suspect we will at some Point.
