I won't be able to watch this game until it is shown on Foxtel (thanks sh*tty Adelaide), but from the sounds of things we are playing well.

Starting Tohu and Jordan = Brilliant. Sure, Tohu probably only gets the nod due to Hoffman playing Origin but still great. Not sure of the reason for Norrie being benched but it is long overdue. Jordan is a beast and needs to start with Jessie.

Sisa Waqa having another shocker, Hampton much improved today. I thought we controlled the game really well until the last 5, but as usual this year we basically concede whenever some pressure is put on our tryline, eels bombed afew with some simple drops too.

Outstanding performance. Hinchcliffe's best performance in 18 months or so. Benjamin Roberts kicking game is absolutely pin point.

Slater again showed why he is still the best fullback in the game. How good is it that every time he lines up against Hayne or Inglis at club level he shows his profound superiority?

Harris, Smith, Bromwich, Mann, Roberts all superb. Everyone was brilliant.

Bryan Norrie you little ripper! Seeing his face (and the coaching staff) as he crossed the chalk was marvelous.

Caught the last 30mins. Fantastic...

Late passes at the line were the best thing we have done all year.

Performances like that make you wonder how good we can be if/when it all sticks together. Our forwards completely dominated theirs and our halves (mainly Roberts) finished the majority of our sets with the class we've been lacking without Coops.

Only negatives are our back three making catching bombs seem like the most difficult thing ever to do, and our effort in defence dropped off numerous times. Thought all 4 of their tries were softish.

Strung two in a row now. Hopefully the boys keep building on that.

Roberts would've loved every minute of todays game. He received so much crap from their fans.

Why does Junior Moors only get a shot now he is leaving? He had 20 minutes and was very good today. Wish we had kept him.
