Make one error last night, the first try, the last try he had no choice.

TBH I think it's a common problem, lots of wingers in SL do it, Nauloga did it last week and again last night, but Connor covered him.

I would say both trys he was at fault.

Whilst we're wildly off topic I'll have to disagree.
What does he do when our defence compresses, Griffin moves in leaving a gap big enough for their centre to drive a bus through and a 2 on 1 over lap.
He comes in to force the play covering their centre. Not at all all Faraimo's fault.
It has been a common team problem regardless of who's been playing centre and wing. We compress and do not slide across quick enough.

From where I was watching, he is always too far in to start with, regardless of where his centre is. However as you say OT.

Just watching the first half now. Parra fans must have very high standards if they don't rate him. Tall rangy offloads and aggressive reminds me of Peacock. Ma'u playing as well shorter stocky and a powerful runner he would be a crowd favourite. Limited viewing but both look very impressive.

One more observation the gulf between SL and the NRL is frightening!

Griffin was at fault for one of them so you cant blame Faraimo.
Your centre makes a massive difference to a wings defensive reads.
Defence is not Griffins strong point

Offloading is not our strong point and something we must put into our game on a regular basis
We may make the odd offload error but it produces gaps and leads to tries
