Rd 6 vs Storm 3-2-1

[Harry Oz]

I can live with your take. Pretty much spot on...

But...Top 6: because I can. Would be:
6pts: Tracey (found our fullback)
5pts: Kiraz (epic)
4pts: Kikau (beast)
3pts: Fox (one for each try)
2pts: Xerri (not a bad second outing)
1pt: Curran (workhorse)

...with special mentions for Burton (playing much better - what a cut-out ball to get us the lead) & Hughes (playing with the aggression of an Alpha Dog - loving it).

The players who stood up and stood out is more important than how many points to give them.
So I agree there were at least those 6 - Tracey, Kiraz, Fox, Kikau, Xerri and Curran who excelled.

I'd like to add Mahoney. He cops a bit of criticism on this forum, but I'm a fan.
He has been playing in a front row that is different from one week to the next, with inexperienced props coming off the bench or even starting every week, missing tackles, dropping the ball etc.
He will flourish as the quality of front row partner improves.

Mahoney is a workaholic.

Fair. Mahoney seems to get tossed into the Burton-style 'polarisation-vortex' (love him or hate him).

I'm more in the middle, I think, on both of them.

They're spine players, so that additional scrutiny is just part of the job. They're both definitely doing better than last year, and while there's still some legitimate criticism due, there's also much to like.

Give them time and a better halfback, and both won't feel the need to overplay their hand as much.

Ive gotta come back and add this after a closer look at the conceeded tries.


Salmon: NEGATIVE INFINITY. the **** missed 2 tackles that led to tries. Like air swings on both. He makes some contact and they dont score twice. How useless.

Scary Salmon was pretty much first picked
