We have to play all 3 Sandon, Havana and Walker. We got a great long kicker and 2 goal kickers. Gotta feel for Walker. We got absentees well and truly covered. More like we have two first grade teams. And do we need Collins? We have Vaa and Whyte and Wong. The thing I noticed the most is the boys seemed to be having fun. The players who left had become stale and disinterested. New blood is just what we needed.

Outstanding win against one of the top 3 teams with so many first choice players missing. I agree the best win of the season.....Robbo take a bow...the man can coach! The depth going forward is unreal. We actually have the talent that can beat any team.

Yeah who was it who said Robbo can’t coach. Surely now it’s clear to see he can.

What a win. What a win.

This win shows why we don't need to sign a dinosaur. We are going to get better this year and especially next. Believe in what we are doing.

WOW !! What a great win.

Special mention to Foketi starting at prop and was not outclassed. Put a couple of really solid hits on as well. I love what I’ve seen from him so far. He will be pushing to stay in the 17 even when we are at full strength.

NO to DCE. It will be a disaster if we hire him. We have good halves and back up halves.

A sharkies mate is blowing up about the result, with texts claiming Atkins was favouring us all night. My response: "No wonder sharks have no players in origin. They can't even beat a 2nd string team."

Remind him that they won the penalty count 8-7 and the 6agains 2-1.
We won the try count 7-3. But it was all the ref's fault.

Foketi hits hard in defence, definitely my favourite new player to watch

The performance shows how much we don't need DCE. With Sammy Walker to come back in 2 weeks we absolutely don't need DCE to upset the team dynamics and harmony..We have so much talent across the park we are already destined to lose some great talent to the Perth bears.

**** me what a win!

Radley showed real leadership, very funny interview after game.

that Ioelu is quite a good young hooker

raiders next week is a challenge

Currently watching the post game and I'm really impressed with Xavier's interview. Giving thanks and credit to Jesus and his family first and foremost. I hope both he and his bro play 300 games for Easts.

Whilst writing the DCE post others were writing the same thing.....and then on refresh they all appeared. Over to Robbo to not let it happen

[SamKerrSimp]

The best part about the win is all the idiots like Rocky stay away from the forum for another week
