Somewhat dreadful first half. Relatively pretty happy with the second half. Not sure what to make of the thing as a whole.
Ultimately, a gutsy win. Walker, Crichton enormous among others. Also thought Suaalii was good.
Young cost us some more points in that first half. I actually felt safer once he came off, to be honest.
The Bye probably comes at a good time. We look maybe a bit frustrated, probably because they know how good they can be (and man, they’re doing a lot right).
I had us well and truly pencilled in as premiership contenders a few weeks ago, even after the Storm loss. We badly need to stop conceding so many points though. We can’t do that against the Panthers, because they won’t let us score 40. 88 points against in 3 weeks… less than ideal.

What about 6 agains?- 84% completion rate
- 51% possession
- 8-7 penalties to the Dolphins
- 3-2 restarts to the Dolphins
- 1 player in the bin
- 1 player on report
- 3 players (at least) injured
1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

Absolutely on Young. Was saying he needs a spell in Reggie’s. I get his upside in the opposition 20m, but fm he is such a liabilty. Can’t defend, and the errors are ridiculous. Y tf did he let that ball bounce. Surely we’re better off with Pauga on the wing, or Jenko at centre and Su on the wing
I doubt they’ll drop him for Pauga, although I’d be tempted. I wonder if there’s anyone we can play for a week or two to give him a freshener in Reggie’s. Hughes and Cleary will tear him apart in the finals atm.
