Like the new deal, like the contract length and love the player. Good outcome for all.

Somehow I think the coaching staff will be very happy with his performance
Tatus
Not-So-Great White
Agree, kinda. Only because I'd like to see him touching it twice a set. Thought he played great. Looked noticeably more confident tonight. Loved his the sting in his runs. Looks to be backing himself more and more. Still improvement left in him yet

Guys, just confirming that Kennedy has signed
Yep, needs to get that Billy Slater action where he's first receiver, gets it again on a wrap around then joins in again to go over two passes later.

Brailey and Kennedy should pass it back and forth to each other at least 3 times per tackle.

I feel like he's been good. Hasn't needed to be the star, but hasn't been doing anything wrong. Some games are just quieter.

I think he’s been fine the past few games, not grabbing as many headlines but he’s been doing his job and doing it really well.

I think people suffer the same illogical game appraisals with will as people do with sifa
If they're not setting up 5 tries and scoring 7 it's a bad game

What’s he doing really well?
But if we want to win a comp we need more from
Him.
He doesn’t support play which is one of the first things your taught as a fullback. His positioning is still questionable (is slowly getting better but has a lot of work to do).
His defence is bang average, it’s like he’s scared of the contact.
Some of you blokes deadset just accept mediocrity.

Can you provide any examples over the last few weeks where his positioning was off or he was crap in defence?
I think there's a difference between accepting mediocrity and accepting reality. Accepting mediocrity is being okay with a player being average. Accepting reality is understanding that not every player is going to be a 10/10 every week. Sometimes they just do their role for the team on a given week. If they were 10/10 every week, they'd likely be demanding much more money and therefore not in the side.
As much as I'd like Kennedy, Moylan and Brailey to be Turbo, Munster and Grant, they just aren't.
Our side put in a great team performance against the chooks, that required everyone to be doing their part. This week Nicho was the star that got us over the line. In other weeks it has been Will.
