@frullens the guys a weapon mate . His big issue has been lapses in defence IMO. But I actually think he’s a better centre than naden . He’s way more consistent , with better hands . Just naden is a Ferrari , so when you get him in open roads on the auto Bahn, he can really open it up .
Every time he got the ball he looked dangerous , and is really getting comfortable and building combinations .
Just watching the highlights. a couple of odd points.
T’oa brings so much positive energy to the teamKlemmer is always messing with the posts on penalty goal kicks 🤣
Klemmer is fast becoming one of my favourites. He has a genuine enthusiasm about him that a team like ours needs.
It was a fantastic game from Brooks and although it is only 1 game, I don't think there would be many people not feeling a tad emotional for him as a person.
Naden likely to miss 3 games with early guilty plea. Grade two shoulder charge.
That's crazy - no where near hitting Hosking in the head. 2 weeks for stupidity maybe.Naden likely to miss 3 games with early guilty plea. Grade two shoulder charge.
I’ll have to look at the Naden tackle again but last night I thought he got himself in to an awkward position and the tackle turned in to a shoulder charge. I don’t think he was thinking shoulder charge to begin with.
The hip drop from Soni Luke was far more dangerous but the penalty is only a small fine, could have snapped Twal’s leg or ankle. I don’t get it.
Just re-watch. Gotta love Dan Ginnane at Full-time.
Screams: 273 days of misery, are over. The Wests Tigers, have come to Bathurst, against the odds, and they have done it against the two time defending champions. And they’ve done it with defence, they’ve done it with grit, and they’ve done it with heart.
Fair to play Brooks. He was the best on field. Best game in 4-5 years.
Bula was outstanding. his try assist, his confidence under the high ball, the tackle on Cleary. Exactly what a fullback needs to do and what we've lacked for a very long time.
Laurie may as well book his plane ticket to England.
Naden was way too hyped or something, his worst game in ages. But the shoulder was pretty soft - was awkward as he was avoiding another defender falling at his feet.
A dumb tackle but surely not worth three weeks.
Just watched the game for the first time. too much to say but suffice to say everyone played well.Great game from Brooks. Our pack was incredible AGAIN and Klemmer & Stef in particular. Best game from Papalii. Bula is the real deal and Api is class.
happy from everyone but in particular the new guys. Hopefully it gives them confidence to stay engaged.

He was just testing his shoulder, after the injury, to make sure it was good.
