One of the better squads of recent weeks with Wallace and Glenn on the bench. Surely we wont drop this game, considering how horrid the Dragons attack is; not to mention their omissions.
So I'm watching this on the NRL app, but there's no commentary. It feels really weird watching footy on a screen with no commentary.
Boyd is defending in the line for the early tackles in the set. Might be worth a 40/20 or downtown attempt.
I'm getting over Oates on the wing. Just has none of the initiative or foresight an NRL winger should have.
Yeah he said during the week he feels like he's let his team mates down recently because of suspension etc. So clearly they need to keep him in a state of perpetual guilt. lol 200m, 31 tackles. That's a big increase on his usual output.
I think he's in a slight rut but no doubt he'll come good. I don't care about his hands letting him down. Bu yeah he's got positional issues (some which could be easily fixed and some not so easily) and a general lack of reading the game. Glad I'm not the only one whose noticed.
Wasn't Oates a back rower all through the lower grades? I always assumed the wing would be a temporary thing for him and he'd make is way in field in the next season or two
Definitely, was like he was a few seasons back when he was mentioned among the best edge forwards going around.
