The wind played a massive factor in the goal kicking. His first 3 kicks were all from different corners too. I'll give Nicho a pass this week as he clinched it when he needed to.

As far as Nicho goes, mistakes will happen with the risks he's willing to take.
He has a good read on the game so I think the longer he plays his position the more he'll work out whether the risks are worth taking. It's a matter of percentages.
Dropped a sitter of a pass tonight but probably thinking ahead of the game and lost immediate concentration. I'm confident that he'll learn from that and it will happen less often.

That final conversion attempt thou still didn’t seem confident.
Hope we can score some tries a bit closer to the posts next week and give Nicho a bit of confidence before having to keep nailing conversions from the sideline.

Can't agree mate. Though he was composed and controlled. Guided it like a pitching wedge to the green

That wind was all of the shop. Both sets of backs had issues Catching the ball on the full and let it bounce a few times

only 20 minutes into watching this game...

how does Parramatta get away with this **** laying the ruck, holding down for an eternity.
counted about 8 more penalties that could have been blown.
wow

noticed it so far bort, it's terrible.

we really need to fix our discipline - it is woeful. we give stupid penalties away. not good enough. Fitz needs a fix in this area.
you can't do that. teams will punish you




parra are f****ed, overrated team. will enjoy work on Monday

completions need to be better as well.

got the two points. happy to get a start, rather than sweating on a win over the dragons in rd 3


did some good things, did some bad things.

Tieg was one obstruction call from being the new whipping boy

Moses looks like he tried to take the charge to get the penalty. Tieg gets one back on him

Moses will never win a comp because his 1st instinct is the easy/soft option. Rather than push hard he took the bump hoping for a penalty.

**** when Wilton scores I jumped up off seat and back down and landed on a testicle
Made me feel extra sick during conversion

I had a 3rd testicle form inside me then descend. Gonna need a few extra tissues upon replay.

TBF, It’s very hard for a defender now days as kickers seem to exaggerate the raise of the legs after the kick to draw a penalty or use it as a protective measure to discourage a defender.
im not suggesting it’s good to take out the kickers legs, but I’m sure kickers also over play it a bit.

Exactly what Slater did & any good fullback/winger does now. Jump, tuck the legs up & force contact from the defender before you land by basically landing into them.
