The Brooks lovers are oblivious to his faults. 

Did Luke Brooks play tonight? Didnt see him at all.

Hastings going well at 13

I more like to think of it as a middle defending 7

Top 8 2023

worth noting with 12 mins to go Hastings went to the left to cover staggs and help Madden 

if Hastings out defensively we may be in some trouble next week. Hopefully a week on the tackle bags might help Madden

Impressed by pole again tonight. Runs very hard and tackles strong as well

Looming really good

He's a keeper for sure - very much like what I'm seeing.

Will go back to Flegg to end the year, but has a huge future.

You're kidding? he will tear Flegg to bits. Surely he gets a Contract?

I don't think you move Hastings from 13 he is playing so well

I think he did a lot of dirty metres in this game, I think he had the balance just about right.

In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)

Pretty hard to criticise anyone tonight. Really great team performance. 

Agreed, good performances all round. Even the guys that had some poor starts (I’m looking at you musgrove and AD) kept there head and got back in the game well. Peachey also service was rough but he even had some good scoots from dummy half.

Hastings gets my 3 points, kelma 2 and Laurie 1 with special mentions to maumalo and pole.

 

overall there is just more consistency for players like aj, toa, Laurie which I think makes a difference by not building pressure against us.

the ref can get stuffed as usual…

I'm a Madden supporter - and he had another good game tonight. 

Didn't defend well on the line,  but scored a great try.  Has some spark we need to compliment AD and Hastings 

If we can surround him with some mobile back-rowers his defence becomes less of an issue. In 2005 Benji and Prince were hardly defensive powerhouses 🙂

@tiger5150 I think he meant Pole 

I dont think you sign Madden until you know what you are doing with Brooks we can't carry all of them. If we keep Brooks who is under contract for 2023 then what does Madden do play nsw cup. 

if we dont sign Madden then he has Newcastle, dolphins to choose from.

Offer Kelma a contract  . Rumour he has not signed with Manly !

Tonight's Kelma with Papal'i would be a rampaging back-row.

Kelma from a month ago not so much...

Yeah like I mentioned earlier, Robert lui was woeful in defence but stick him next to Gareth Ellis and it wasn’t as big of a deal.

Madden has a good kicking and short passing and knows how to read a game but needs work in defence. He is the anti-brooks

@voice_of_reason I think both Prince and benji were better defensively than Madden to be fair

THats not correct. Hastings went to the left when Tuilagi had to go off and was replaced by Tamou. Tamou to middle, Hastings replaces Tuilagi.
