I like his attacking game but he's got to improve his errors if he wants to keep me supporting him & keep having faith in him as our FB for another few seasons.
It's the first time since I can remember Will dropping a catch. I will excuse him this game.

I'm more concerned with the other basic mistakes we made in the first half.

Yeah 100% can forgive him for a dropped bomb, very rare for him.

On Katoas try, just watch kennnedy not follow the play and drop off as soon as he passes the ball. He doesn’t even both to try to backup.

It’s these types of things that separates Kennedy from being a really good fullback and just being an average fullback.
Good shout

hes' been dropping a few this season??? I thought
Dropping very few

CNK Hammer Tracey and Turbo the only regular fullbacks who average less errors from kicks than him - Tracey presumably propped up a little by 1/3 of his games being at wing.

This is the anarchy caused by a poor judiciary ruling.

Will needs a couple of games to get back in the swing, particularly after a bye round.

He'll be fine by next round.

Really (not) looking forward Annesley's painful explanation as to why this time there's no suspension. 4 weeks ago he implied that a mere pinky laid on a referee warranted a death sentence.

Officiating has really gone down hill this year.

The NRL spends too much time second guessing what rules/ interpretations will have a 'negative effect' (in their view) of either mums letting little Johnny / Jenny play or on the quick speed of the game.

On Matty Johns show last night they had Siro on and were showing highlights of the late 80s early 90s. Foul play aside, it was a much better product.

Though it was funny hearing Siro calling out the Pom who elbowed him in the head a dirty prick on live TV!

Yeah, I actually watched that one... Annesley's painted himself into a corner with his over the top explanation to justify a punishment that didn't make sense

Isn't it obvious? Running into a ref to participate in an all-in brawl is just a Rugby League incident... running into the ref when he stops in front of you in the middle of the game is reckless.

Yep.
"Yes, the ref stepped in his path, yes it was an accident, yes Will wasn't looking at the ref....but - we can't see this in junior league so he has to get punished...."

The logic makes sense in its own way, but the punishment doesn't. You can make the same example without ruling a player out who clearly had no intention or motive (before this anyway!) to make contact.
