This. Kev knows that right edge so well. He slots into the set plays with consummate ease and runs brilliant lines.

Tohu has done a magnificent job so far. I think he can continue that up the middle without taking anything away from our strong structures on the edges.

One other player I forgot to mention who played well was Jesse Bromwich. How well is he playing? His stats from last night: 14 runs for 133 metres, 1 tackle break, 1 offload, 20 tackles, with no errors or penalties conceded.

Jesse just gets better and better. He has the best footwork of any prop IMO and ALWAYS makes metres after first contact. We are lucky to have big Jesse.

Wish he was allowed to play more minutes though. Could easily play 50+ mins a week if Craig let him.


Would help out a few fantasy teams too :P

Did anyone see Gareth bounce the ball of GIs head after scoring hes try and I think it was a little perposeful. I had to look a few times to be sure what do you think. I liked it from the young gun.

I noticed that to. Not sure if it was on purpose or not.

Hard to say. Looked accidental at first glance but Inglis did make contact with his head in the process of Gareth scoring.

IMO while the contact may not have been anything major, there was no need for Inglis to go anywhere near his head. He scored the try and was always going to so i don't blame GW in any way shape or form for reacting the way he did. Plus it rubbed a bit more salt into the wounds so it was all good from me ;)
