I can't help but think things could get a little tense when Tyrell Fuimaono gets on the field.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a really close game

Reimis Smith with a suspected torn pec. Unfortunately, that is long stint on the sidelines.

Hopefully Pappy is ok. He stayed on, which is a good sign.

TMO disallowing tries again, what's new.

Two great tackles by Justin Olam leading up to Munster sending Meaney away. I thought Meaney would get caught. But a great fend and then he showed a clean pair of heals.

Wishart has been solid since replacing Smith.

Very solid display. Was expecting a lot tougher game.

Hope Paps is not too bad. I wish we had took him off earlier..

Brandon, Munster, Hughes and Grant were class. Pack very tough too.

Some indifferent discipline at times but generally 2-3 gears above the Dragons

Sloppy here and there but another good performance. The early disallowed try because of an obstruction was an ordinary call. Fortunately it didn’t matter.

The injuries are brutal. Maybe Howarth comes in to debut finally? A few options to replace Paps for a few weeks. Would love to give it to Munster.

Papenhuyzen caught up to Scott Hill on 46 NRL tries for the club today, equal 17th and 2 behind Cam Smith. He's also on 9 points behind Addo-Carr and 13 behind Cronk in 6th and 5th places respectively.

Apparently we've broken the all time record for points through the first 9 rounds - our 335 eclipses the 1935 Roosters who had 324.

Another excellent performance, winning the arm wrestle and then asserting their authority. I think the total points since half time v Warriors is 148 to 6.

Wishart looked totally at home in FG. Just as well - we will need him next week and beyond.

I just watched the press conference. Craig said Reimis would likely be back in 10-12 weeks. That is good news. Taking into account the 2 byes, that would have him back well before the finals .

Is Jack Howarth coming along ok ? I was concerned to see he was down in Jersey Flegg last week. Is he a realistic chance to come into first grade during Origin, if not sooner ?

He would be very raw but could play if they really needed him
