He did so much work in D he didn’t even offer a lot in attack. They ran everything at him
But he didn't play for NSW59 tackles 1 miss
Api yeah, Starling no. Api is a seasoned vet though who is at the top of his craft. Penrith completely eliminated him tonight by making him work his ass off. If it was to become a regular occurance I'd be tempted to go for a bench hooker if we had one available, but I'm not sure we really do.Respect for that tackle count, would be excused for missing more than 1 after making 59 of em in the wet
Dunno if it was coaches instructions or what to keep it simple but he was our Andrew McCullough tonight - tackled and passed all night but offered next to nothing with the ball or in attack, really didn't pose a threat or give the defense much to think about other than which player he gunna cart it over to this ruck - the forward 1 wide , or the half 2 wide
If Brailz gotta conserve his energy to make tackles and get into dummy half then we need to go back to having a relief hooker on the bench cause we needed more tonight that just a tackle bot
Does my head in this player, does he want to stay in his shell or not ? We need better come finals from him and the coaches shouldn't be trying to turn him into a Cam Smith style 9 which he isn't. The team needed a bit more help from their hooker in attack tonight beyond just receiving the ball from him
Might seem harsh but honestly compare him to what API gave the Panthers or even the game before what Starling gave the Raiders and tell me you don't want a piece of that
We have McInnes you could chuck in there for 20 mins if you had to.Api yeah, Starling no. Api is a seasoned vet though who is at the top of his craft.

It was clearly a tactic by Penrith to run at him all game. it was tough going in the wet and we made too many errors which made him have to defend more.Respect for that tackle count, would be excused for missing more than 1 after making 59 of em in the wet

Api has played more than double the games of Brailey.Got to start offering more in attack. Api changed the game for the panthers.
I actually really like this idea now, not sure how to manage it though. The best time would probably be the beginning of the game, as McInnes could absorb the early damage. But if we're winning the ruck at the beginning, I also want Blayke out there to take advantage.We have McInnes you could chuck in there for 20 mins if you had to.
And Cam Smith played nearly 400 more than Harry grant. A hooker doesn't have to run.And Brailey's played double that of Harry Grant. A hooker has to run.
No they don't, alot of very good hookers have been noted non runners of the ball.And Brailey's played double that of Harry Grant. A hooker has to run.

They don’t come cheap…..Personally prefer a good ball-handler when it comes to my hooker
Or at all. They're pretending mate. Sorry.They don’t come cheap…..
So I’m told
Because he is ****But he didn't play for NSW
