Can some one tell me why the Lino try was disallowed . Lino had a lot to do when he took the ball . Know we had to make 4 changes to the team ,but think made a mistake not playing a winger ,and putting our best centre there .Thought Russell did ok ,and think Smith is getting better each game he plays .You got to have a few 50/50 calls and we did not seam to get any. A game we could have won ,but overhall think we are going in the right direction to be a very good S L team
I agree. Trueman was the miss. He gives us a lot of composure in attack and makes good decisions.
Scott wasn't terrible but will take a bit of catching up. The try was as much about McMeekan being in the second row. It's hard to switch from middle to SR, even if you've played there before.
Tom is just Tom. Even on his worse day he's still making more yards than anyone else. And we need to be kicking more kicks for him to the corner for tries as well as dropouts
Tom must be averaging about 150 meters a game so far and he's just easing his way in, big post contact from him as well.
Some really good meters and post-contact from Griff for his first game back in ages. Rodwell's only gonna get better from that.
Renouf had a big game down the middle 132 meters from 14 carries and Caleb was good as usual 116 meters from just 10 carries, both with big post-contact meters. Seems to be a theme so far this season that our middles are making on average around 10 meters per carry, really impressive compared to our previous years in SL. As most thought, moving Big Mike to the second row stopped his usual effectiveness down the middle, which we needed in that second half with Rodwell just coming back.
Pitts did another 100 meters and I also think he had around 50 tackles which is crazy.
Biggest difference between the teams was Sezer. In the second half he absolutely bossed it, and his kicking game kept us pinned back for large parts of the game. I thought we pretty much matched them other than that, it was a good contest between two teams missing key players.
The only other comment I would make is that it's embarrassing watching Rugby League players throwing themselves on the floor to win a penalty.
