Late mail confirming Brandon to start at hooker. This is an unbelievable quick turn around for his injury.

So Smith with one hand and maybe Smoothy? Better than nothing.

Coates is out, Meaney to the wing, Lewis on the bench, Brandon to start, Smoothy 18th man.

Expecting Brandon to go down with a hand reinjury, we are treating him like a rental car

Something real off with the team atm. Very little impact from the forwards after 15 minutes and we still have handling issues.

Hughes had a very uncharacteristic game tonight even before his rib issue. Hopefully its just part of him finding form. NAS and Loiero were a bit of a dog's breakfast really.

Meany super clean, papi another champion performance especially going up against the bigger Blake, Olam, Munster, Kaufusi and Kenny all did very well. Smith turned it on when it mattered with that last minute break.

All in all, alot of individuals did very well but didn't click as a team for mine.

I don’t think you can make up the tries we gave up even if you tried. The most “normal” one was either Hughes getting beat one on one from a stock standard run or Ieremia racing in off his wing for nothing.

We both should have won the game comfortably or not been in it at all.

Tough to take the loss with 3 fluke kick tries. But the old adage we should put that to one side and win regardless.

It’s early. We are showing positive signs but have work to do.

Any reason Coates dropped out?

Meaney has to be on one wing for me. We need a bit more starch in the middle for the full 80 and will be fine…

Coates had hammy tightness and has injury history so a conservative move. Meany starts over Ireimia (butchered the spelling) for me.
