God having Buderus and Blocker on commentary is painful.

Latrell you superstar! A player who is performing beyond his age, I can’t believe he is 20!

Game plan. Just give it to Latrell

[Louis N]

Latrell is the best ball runner in the game today. Try out of nothing. And kicks the goal. The most valuable footballer in the game.

[Lydon]

Not awake at the kick off cost us..

[fletch]

no need for Latrell to come out of the line there.

[BenCumminsIsACheat]

That's now 2 knock ons uncalled. I look forward to not receiving the same treatment

[stringaz]

Shocking defence

[LargeMike]

Lmao great defence Toops and Tedesco. Might as well not be there.

[BenCumminsIsACheat]

no need for Latrell to come out of the line there.

They must be taught to do it because him, Aubusson and the wingers always do it. It's not the best way to defend though as we had plenty of guys covering on the inside

Correct. Tupou needs to follow him in and the inside man slides.

[fletch]

typical start from us, score a try and then mess up the kick off reception, concede a try and don't touch the ball for 5+ minutes.

[Louis N]

Well that lead didn't last long. And this is a difference. They use s short kick off and attack. They catch us short when we should be following up after a try. On the other hand we kick off to them and hand them a penalty on the first. Same characters as usual involved. They then take the ball all the way back to our line and force a goal line drop out. We cannot manage games and we really need to look at different captaincy or hooking offenders to drum the message home.
