Ronnie may be a nice guy & shattered in the dressing room yesterday according to Fitz because he threw the pass that allowed Tigers to move off Zero.

However do think Fitz needs to have a not so quiet word to him about scoring before he starts the celebrations & chest thumping. It is a regular occurrence with him & some would argue a sign of arrogance but I am just concerned he doesn't end up costing us a game by dropping the ball before he grounds it as he wouldn't be the first player to have done it.

Some might also argue arrogance cost us a try early in first half . Ronnie raced down the western side line with ball in his right hand all the way & expected to just race around the first time Tigers fullback instead of changing hands & being ready with a fend. Alas , the fullback wasn't so slow & Ronnie put a toe into touch . No Try after bunker review but at least he didn't miss out on the celebrations.

I do think he carries on a bit too much at times, and yes, I’d prefer he starts the celebrations AFTER he puts the ball down.

I love his passion but not his niggle.

Kotoa would have left the ground and been airborne from the 10 metre line to the edge of the in-goal fending mid air while eating a bannana and playing gameboy

Some of Ronnie's drawbacks aside I have been impressed with him this year. He is looking quicker, more agile (loving his step) and stronger. Happy for him and Katoa to be our first choice wingers

I think Fitz was a bit realistic about this game. He was more like us and just wanted the win. I think he told A Johns or Fitler as much during the week

Ronnie has been very good
loving his passion. yeah he gets in the ear of opposition, but he's backing it up
he's loving his footy, and it shows with his form. rolls the sleeves up.

several times the fox commentators commended our back five. good on them.

shattered for him about that last try - at the time I saw it I was disappointed but hey a solid win - seriously could have gone the other way.

Love your post on Ronnie mate but not sure how you thought the game could have gone the other way. The Tigers were never in it.

the last try ....earlier in the sentence!!!!. read it again :)
Ummm I did, I saw that but then you said, “good to get the win, seriously could have gone the other way.” That’s talking about the game not the try.

I understand now what you meant though, if it hadn’t been intercepted Sione was away!

sorry for typing too fast and thinking about too many things in my head all at once.

He’s definitely improved this year. Will definitely be in the nz squad if he keeps up this form

You don't get one without the other. They come from the same place.

I get it.
I just don’t like the way he drops onto Garner after putting him into touch here…….


Massive play and love the passion and determination but that last bit just isn’t necessary and detractors from all the other great things he does do.

Spot on WS. The referees notice it too. It may not be enough for them to give a penalty against him but they'll remember it next time he does something that is not quite right. He won't be on a level playing field then, he'll be a target for the refs like Fifs is.
