Only 8 missed tackles too by the lads, water tight. Unfortunately Meaney has 5 of those, Wighton is tough to handle, got to close down his space or he will have his way with most defenders.

Pretty poor 2nd half so far, losing 16-4 currently and Wishart has just absolutely embarrassed himself out of ever being our “utility” ever again.

Blaming Wishart for not being able to handle winger responsibilities is not it imo. It’s on Bellamy for not making an obvious adjustment by having Reimis go back later in the set. I will never understand why Bellamy is ok throwing Wishart into the deep end.

Joe Chan that’s how you attack a high ball, well done.

Excellent win by the boys, besides a poor 10 minute period when we leaked 3 tries we were dominant.

Munster was back to his absolute best, was so good seeing him play like he used to. Papenhuyzen looked quick and electric and wanted the ball in his hands. Shame about X and NAS getting hurt as they were both sublime too.

Nice to rack up a big score finally.

Not sure why that Milne tackle isn’t one of those automatic send off situations? As dirty as it gets.

Milne is one of those players that you only sign because he'll hurt people. With his track record, hopefully he gets a long break. Probably won't though.

Chan has this combination of talent, aggression, confidence and hype that is absolutely what this team has missed for since JAC and even Suli. Love what he brings.

I hope he's in the team every week, performances will get better and more consistent. What he brings as the person he is, is unteachable.

Generally a very good performance.
Munster was key.
Right edge defence is still hideous. Meaney and Hughes leaving Warbrick way too exposed - I thought a couple of Will's plays were excellent.

I know it made no difference in terms of the game, but the Milne sin-bin should have been a send off. One of the grubbiest acts I've seen. Should be referred direct to the judiciary and get 8-12 weeks; will probably get 3 reduced to 2 on an early plea.

Milne had been in running tussle with Munny from early in the match ......so the decision in the 80th minute by Milne to drive into Munny's knees should be very carefully investigated by the NRL regarding his intentions and the potential for a catastrophic injury outcome
