I like them both, Baker looks more straight up and down and goes hard but Tapuha has a bit of X factor about him with his size and footwork.
He looked a chance to offload in most of his runs and Teddy will be licking his lips sniffing around the ruck behind him. I can't wait to see him when we get our full complement of players back and he has another off season to harden him up.

Their job, if they get picked is to run straight and hard and to make their tackles. Rugby league, such a simple game.

That's hardly raising the white flag.Born and bred in the eastern suburbs.

I don't want to be a Debby downer but I don't think we should read too much into that performance in terms of what it should mean for finals performances. The Raiders were really, really bad.
Reminded me of our Round 1 game against Manly.
Canberra being really bad doesn't mean our guys weren't really good. As I said in Gameday, Hutch Keighran and Tapuha took another step up last night and deserve praise.

Tapuha all day. His only dropped ball came from a rake from Wighton which wasn't picked up by the refs. Baker gets smashed too often for my liking and Tapuha is a big body and relatively unknown, so he has x factor for finals footy and it also appears Baker is playing injured or has been injured v souths

Just because other teams play shit or go hiding doesn't mean we should take any credit away from the lads ... with JWH missing and Manu out ... as stated, Hutch, Keighran and Tapuha really did step up to support the senior players and contribute towards the team's win last night !
