Considering how average we have been, incredible to say we have a prelim next week.

Hats off for scrapping til the end.

Thought Harry was trying for an Oscar haha but a legit hit to the head ignored in a big moment.


We were not good but at least they pulled one out of a hat. Not sure how we compete with Penrith next week. Big big challenge ahead.

Next week instead of Deep Heat, the trainers should be giving the boys some lube. It feels ominous.

I didn’t want to go down to the rosters. The chances of Klein being the ref again next for us is high.

Klein needs to be sacked immediately.

Positives
- Wishart can hold his head high. Big shoes to fill. Knock-out semi. And hist first half in particular was excellent.
- Seve and Katoa did solid jobs.
- Meaney didn’t drop the pill. Defused well.
- 83% completion rate.

Negative
- Grant is in the worst form of his career.
- Our forwards are tough but have poor go forward.
- 45 missed tackles + 22 ineffective.
- 9 errors.
- Poor support play.

I hate the commentators rapping Munster for the kick to Warbrick, like it was Munster that decided the game. It was a good, but completely wishful kick and needed complete brilliance from Warbrick.

The fact that we had no clue whatsoever as to how to set up for a field goal was deeply concerning.

Welch the only forward to top 100m and a large chunk of that was off the intercept.

Defence still has so many holes.

Warbrick really stole that one for us.

Good on the boys for jagging a win, but it was an awful performance again, disappointed we weren’t able to lift our level much from previous weeks.

Serve that up next week and Panthers will destroy us, but to be in another prelim is to be commended especially considering just how poor we have been.

Stranger things have happened, I’ll dare to dream.

Supposedly Hughes has a torn calf not a strain and is no chance for next week 😔

And was that Sua on crutches postgame??

Fox sports just said Hughes is a stain calf and will play next week.

Got some conflicting reports then, let the mind games begin! We need him to be any chance even though Wishart was great he isn’t Hughes.
