Good to get the two points, and 3 games on the spin we have limited the opposition to no more than 2 try's, which is quite impressive with the amount of defence we have done during those wins. I thought we could of been smarter at some points, but that will come, I feel Trueman and Clifford will really complement each other once they are on the same wave length, which could of course take a few weeks with them only playing 120 minutes of competitive rugby together. We seem to have a bit of confidence now, hopefully we can take that into the cup next week.

I have to say, Wakey really are done for. They have batted above their weight and scraped by for a long time, however it feels like time has finally caught up to them and their fait is all but sealed by mid-may. I can't say I have much sympathy, to be honest, but they are destined for the championship, which when you take into consider their on-field and off-field resources is probably where they belong.

Keep taylor he's still our best prop

Griffin not sure if he's truly cut out for a 2nd row and has no pace for centre

Houghton get rid , dwyer was good last night 3 breaks more of that needed

Clifford is our best half back since Kelly


Agree on Clifford and Taylor.
For me Griffin depends on what is available on the market. If there isn't much out there I'd be happy enough to keep him on for another year and see how he gets on. He's runs some decent lines and often seems a handful when hitting the line at pace.
I am still not convinced on Dwyer. He is definitely capable of adding a spark and creating something but he also takes some bad options, particularly on the 5th tackle. Both qualities were on show last night. Again, it very much depends on who is available for me.






"I hope we get to the bottom of the answer"

[quote="Hullrealist"
I liked the look of the Eseh. Huge frame, athletic and looked difficult to tackle. I’d consider bringing him in as a squad player and see how he develops.[/quote]

He reminds me of Masi Matongo, big frame but just doesn't look aggressive enough or run his weight for me.

I thought that, I think Savellio in particular has been a sacrificial lamb, he's pushed the boundaries and refused to fall into line and has paid the price. Nobody doubts his quality on the pitch but from what i've seen first hand his general attitude off the pitch is horrendous. That is exactly what we've wanted Smith to do, I find it hilarious that some people who cried out for a culture change are now up in arms that Savellio isn't playing.

I think the case for Joey is that he doesn't have a set position so has found it harder to get any traction but his attitude and effort are fine. Evans just isn't good enough for me.

I don't remember whether that Rovers player got a ban or not, I'm sure some statto does though?

He got a one match ban,the worst was SKD no penalty during the game,then a 4 match ban,so who knows. :)

Savelio isn't that good anyway easily replaceable

He was such a bit part , at the clubs you mention, because of his age and the fact that he was even included in those team's squad, speaks volumes about his abilities He was that good , he got an NRL gig. Injury cut that short , before he had a chance to progress. He is an excellent player, and I don't think he will be easy to replace with anyone of a similar standard, given what talent is available. If his attitude is disruptive and poor that is a shame, because we are a better team with him included. Got to back Smith's call on him, he sees him every day in and around training.
