I agree, tries to do too much, needs to simplyfy his game a bit and focus on getting through sets, which is what Trindall did last week, allowed Moyza to get more involved also.

It’s because Hynes isn’t a 7…

Start Talakai left edge back row, keep Tracey at Centre, he stood up second half defensively, and did some tough carries coming out of our own half like he always does. Graham on the bench, play lock

I wonder when this Tracey at centre fascination will end. Kid is garbage there

For the most part our last plays when attacking were attrocious.....again.

Hopefully Calqhoun gets more games, had a good debut game

Why on earth anyone wants to move Sofa from centre is beyond me. Unless we sign someone like Manu, forget it.

Haven't read through the thread, thoughts on their disallowed try?

Not sure what their support player was meant to do. I would have been livid if that was us.

Yep! I said try, he over stepped in front once JT was hit but he was support and had a right to be there.

Robson got ahead of him and got in the way, so hard to argue its not a penalty.

Would BHU have stopped him if Robson wasn't there? Not a chance (although would have had a play at the ball).

Bit harsh, atleast he has a dig, hardly makes errors and willing to put his hand up for work or tough carries, runs hard. Apart from some defensive lapses in first half, he stood up in defense rest of game, put some shots on, which was surprising haha. Put Wilton or Talakai on his inside as a backrower who are quicker and more mobile than Graham, that'll help him make better defensive reads. Leilua kept running around or through Graham. Tracey put Leilua on his ass second half

You can still have Sifa on the left edge as a back rower for 80mins, that's his best position, just need Moylan to use him in attack, he would hit lines better/harder than Graham or Wilton

Our weak side is Graham,Moylan,Tracey…

Jesse,Wilton and Nicho doing three times the work

?

Cronulla down to 12 men tonight - 1 try scored down the Graham / Moylan / Tracey side. Pass mark from me.

That’s what cost them imo

The bunker hasn’t been very consistent on the “black and white” obstruction lately but I suppose this is what falls in that category

If it happened to us though I would definitely be blowing up, hard for Robson to just disappear there, but i suppose in other game situations if you have players in front of the ball runner and stopping defenders it’s a penalty.

Do we have the weakest last line of defence in Kennedy,

Past tense, yes - The Maginot line was worse. Present tense, Savage is pretty naff.

Yeah at the point he was ahead of play he can to push forward out of the way.
If you can’t legally contribute to the play you can’t also be in a defenders way.

A little harsh but probably correct

This.
I thought right decision based on Robson being in front of JT and blocking our defenders.
If he was backing up and still behind JT and in a position to accept a pass, then play on and try.

If the player is ahead shouldn’t he just continue running? I thought that action constitutes the disappearing.

Yep if he kept running through or stayed behind it would of been play on.

Agree definitely harsh but probably correct, and definitely saved our as###

I think he’s up there as the worst centre.. has a dig but centre is not his spot he only gets in there because there’s no one else

Doesn’t create, The play dies with him 99% of the time
