Hoping Bellamy can coach the softness out of Coates. No one with his frame should be giving up that Nofoaluma try.

If you were to read the match events on paper you would expect us to be in a much worse position. I think all things considered this is OK. Half time came at the right time.

Nelson playing like vunivalu... Rocks and diamonds. Big Ken looks like an adult playing against a primary school side for special needs children honestly scores tries recreationally.

Moeroa playing like he wants a regular spot each week. Good stuff, hitting with real enthusiasm.

I'd almost hand back the win if it meant Welchy didn't have to miss the season. Irreplaceable IMO.

Moeroa was great. The injuries hurt. They think Welch is not a knee but is a calf or achilles. Fingers crossed it is a calf because achilles are bad too.

Hughes and Papenhuyzen were unbelievable.

Let's hope it's not an Achilles

Is it a genuine concern that the stadium surface is causing an increase in injuries? Ive seen posts on social but not sure if it's just a bit of a piss take.

Surely Wests tigers should be penalised for the dangerous surface. Possibly even lose competition points. That's just unacceptable.

Do we pop Meaney onto the wing to cover Jennings? Or does he go to 14 to replace Wishart with Grant returning next week?

I think send Meaney to wing. Would be harsh to drop Wishart after his game.
