Sounds like he's been going through some off-field stuff with his family based on the press conference. Hope he and the family are alright.
Yep. He mentioned needing to support his wife and kids directly during the interview, so I guess there is something significant.

Great that he mentioned the club has been very supportive too.

Hope all works out well for him and his family.

One of our best tonight, played a simple halfback role, simple passing, giving service and distributing the ball around, made our go forward easier and also easier for Atko to do his part. Defended really well, and still roled up his sleeves and did the dirty work with his usually lock role when needed

Made team of the week in the 7 jersey haha best looking 7 to play the game!
Are you talking about the NRL team of the week or the VB hard earned one?

Certainly confused our poor Facebook folk that's for sure. I know it is a pretty ridiculous concept the VB hard earned, but I love the comments of those on FB who don't understand it's not necessarily the best players. So many people commenting on why so and so was not there - the main one being Fletcher Sharpe who scored four tries.

Tries against the Tigers are not ‘hard earned’ haha

It is an odd system the way they skew scoring based on result though

Limit the crash plays for Micgennis, he's too small and Opposition is reading the monotony of regularity.
Yeh - there was one or two on the weekend where they really halted momentum.

He should be limiting them to say after Brailey makes a good scoot and has them on the back foot.

There was one poor one that stood out to me where he got a pass off another prop.
He wasn’t going full speed and it halted us a bit (and was in that sloppy period)

I’m pretty sure he didn’t actually want the ball there, and just did the right thing and ran as a support.

Obviously puts him in a position to get it, and he did catch it, but it looked to me like his expectation had been to not get it and I think we’d have been better off if it wasn’t passed.

I remember the one on the Knights line where he was tackled by 3 players and threw a wild pass backwards to no one. Royce did get there first but knocked it on. I’m pretty sure we were up 10-0 at that stage, good chance of going 16-0 up if he’d just held the ball and took the tackle.
