Gimme Grant instead of Walters but it's a solid 17 given a quarter of the squad is missing.

Agree. Would love to have seen Grant in the 17 today.

Wouldn't have been able to bring Grant in as he wasn't like for like I'm guessing.

Some deadset average refereeing in that first half. Rabbits getting penalties for virtually nothing. Mistiming a jump where Vunivalu only had eyes for the ball = penalty??? Guarantee we will never see that again.
Ruining an otherwise entertaining game.

We look really dangerous with the ball when we're not forced to come out of trouble from inside the 10. Game shifted after the ball hit one of their players head and didn't go dead.

Regardless of result from here, it is very encouraging that we are creating so many opportunities.

Vunivalu is the worst defensive winger in the league. He will cost us the Premiership, just like he did last year

Didn’t think he was out of position much at all. Just a real solid debut.

I'd argue that win was even better than the one the Storm had over the Warriors over the road and probably the best of the season.
Souths were full of intent, had nine consecutive penalties and a one-man advantage but still couldn't really take advantage of it.
Add in the fact Olam barely lasted 20 minutes forcing Stimson into the centres and Chambers to move to the other side, and that's an outstanding win.
Munster was phenomenal - just turned their defence inside out with his running.
Jesse's copped a lot of criticism in the past few years but I think he's back. Him and Asofa-Solomona are turning into what we hoped they would.

Those two bullet cutouts.
That contested high ball.
The darting runs.
The numerous times he pushed up in support.
The two line-break assists.
Great debut.
There were a couple of times he wasn’t in perfect position for a kick but I think it was due to fitness and the speed of first grade. Hughes has only just started to improve in this area.
