I look forward to tonight's match between the Brisbane Norths Souths Seagulls and the Melbourne Sunshine Coast Tigers. Can't pick a winner however!

Wonder why we even bothered to name Katoa? Not sure if sitting him was the original plan since we only announced two debuts originally? Anyway, good to see another younger guy given a shot. Not sure if anyone outside of Sua has really earnt it but I am excited nonetheless.

I think Papenhuyzen, Olam and Reimis can play their way into the starting 13 next week with big games tonight, particularly interested to see what CB does if Papenhuyzen lights it up tonight, if fit and firing can you seriously drop him back to the bench? Doubt it.

How does Grant Anderson keep getting into our side in any way shape or form?

Looking really Bleh so far.

No one is playing their way into next week at this rate.

Of course Anderson scores after I slag him off lol, still stand by what I said!

I agree so far no one is putting their hand up, looking sloppy and disjointed in general, nice little kick by Nikorima there though.

Good kick and great pass from Nikorima. Should have been two try assists. Alas Anderson stood out.

His left foot helped you out there!

Olam needs some big runs tonight for confidence. You still feel Reimis and him could make their way back in with big games.

Why is he jumping right before he catches the ball? He does nothing natural for a footy player
