Really ? It felt like we were putting up kicks on opposition try line this so far this season pretty often… think we’ve even scored a couple tries from it.
Yeah I agree, Mulitalo has taken a few quicks this year which have led to tries.

Copped a lot of criticism for what I thought was a 7-8/10 game.

Would love to hear the experts takes on why he is ****?

I didn’t criticism him but I do think he is overplaying his hand a little with Tricky out.

Needs to give Atkinson a little more opportunity to ran a few attacking plays throughout the game.

Not finding touch 2 weeks in a row, isn’t a great look either.
Hasn’t cost us anything and wasn’t such a big deal last week, but could have potentially been a turning point as this game was still in the balance and a lot closer.
Thankfully now, made no difference.
But at the time…….

Atkinson is outrageously limited. If the play calls for someone to tuck it under the arm and have a carry, I’m sure Nicho would share the load around and give it to Atkinson.

Was Nicho exempt from errors today? Of course not. But when he finishes up with 18 runs for 116 metres, a linebreak, 2 linebreak assists, 2 try assists, 26 tackles and 12 kicks for 357, and we have people calling him ****, will absolutely do me.

@Wilson you can’t please everyone can you? It’s the usual armchair idiots that criticise Nicho to suit their own agendas.

He didnt have his best game but it was hardly ****.

Again. I never said Hynes was **** or played poorly today.

Atkinson needs to be given a bit more opportunity to show what he can do and they need to develop combinations which they never will if Nicho does it all.

We also have to win games. Atkinson’s hitups ain’t going to win them for us.

I don’t think he’s having a crack at you mate. He was just pointing out the good points of Nicho’s game.

Exactly. But maybe if he was given a few plays to run, he might find/ set up a try here and there.

Im happy with Nicho’s game overall.
Not finding touch isn’t ideal, but (and I’ve said it before) Nicho can’t do EVERYTHING.
He needs allies out there and Atkinson is his 6, so give him an opportunity to ran some plays.

I don’t disagree, I do think we need to understand Nicho takes control for good reason. Ultimately, your comments specifically weren’t the ones I was referring too.

I agree - went missing today. Probably thinking about the Storm game
