Posting this a bit late and maybe not of the right thread however there seems to be a common theme where teams that use and lose their challenges early will no longer get the 50/50 calls, my view is that the refs hate to be challenged and overruled so they feel safer ruling against the teams that can no longer challenge them. We need all the help we can get with the refs, so Benji should be telling the team that absolutely no challenges in the first half unless the call is an obvious howler, and even then use it as motivation and practice on the mental and physical challenge of lifting when things go against you. In the last 20 challenge to your hearts content.

Interesting view. I will definitely take note watching future games.

@tigertownsfs It's looking like the only defence Sullivan can dominate is Tigers'23 standard and we haven't come up against anything as poor as that yet.

Drop your one word descriptions here please. Might need a word for first and second half (which I think I will do).

See above

My 1st half word is ‘OWNED’. We were owned in the middle and Flegler was about best on field. Their defensive line speed was excellent and Api/halves couldn’t get going.

2nd half word is ‘ENCOURAGING’. We turned it around in the middle with Stef lifting and Seyfarth/Twal working hard, all playing big minutes. Fleggler off injured… Api’s 2nd stint much better. Very encouraging effort against adversity.

yeah I think it’s nice to see the team understand that if they stick in there even if you aren’t playing great you can still be in a position to win. We were within one converted try with 20 to go. In prior seasons we would have conceded before and after half time and let the game blow out. Now we stick solid and we had a chance to beat the team coming first

Sullivan took the run option too many times. Galvin better at selection of the right play and has the knack of short kick through the line rather than into it. With NRL defences so strong it doesn’t seem like Sullivans competitive advantage (off the cuff running game) is going to translate to first grade. He is probably better suited to super league. It’s galvin/Luai at this stage and I would think TDS takes the bench 14 role when fit. Not sure where Latu plays but it might be Dragons with Fulton looking to move there

It wasn't a bad effort considering all of the bad luck that went our way. Very inconsistent weekend from the refs between games. Knockout high tackles have one player sent off in one game and a slap on the wrist in another game. Nothing said about it in the media yet. Why not? Fainu will be stood down next week because of it.

Some knock ons were classed as forward, worse looking knock ons were classed as backwards. It's a confusing game sometimes.

I am proud of the effort of most players. It's good to know that they won't give up halfway through a game like previous years.
