Solid season start

[weplayforprems]

After people calling for the whole thing to be burned down after DolphinGate, 8 points from 10 (and playing better each week) has been an impressive hit back.

And the next 5 weeks isn’t the worst draw either.

After 10 rounds we should hopefully be on 16 points (please just win on Anzac Day boys).

Still have Gus, Lodge and Sitili to come back soon as well.

Good signs.
Cheese making some very good plays.
Walker looking better every week.
I liked Baker and Whyte last night.
Plenty to be positive about.

Robbo wanted a fast start and I think 3 wins from 4 games (plus a bye) shows that we’ve done that. Quite a few on here were calling for Robbo’s head, but he’s managed to get the team on track after the dismal round one dolphins loss

Add Lodge, Angus, Tilli and Wato into the side and we will be hard to beat.

And Tupinuoa ..... What a team.

I wonder how strong Billy Smith comes back too.

full strength (and I know that’s a big lol given the injuries the last few years) no one is beating:

2 Toops
3 Smith
4 Manu
5 Suaalii
6 Keary
7 Walker
8 JWH
9 Smith
10 Lodge
11 Nat
12 Gus

I think Jaxson has cemented his spot on right wing unless he has a bunch of bad games, and Bondi Joe is now our centre. Can't see Billy getting a run unless it is through injuries.

It will be a tough call for Turpin as he has played well this year. Watson is obviously first pick 14 though.

Yep fair call. Have been pleasantly surprised with how good Paulo has been. Maybe just needed a change of scenery and some belief.

[Inflictor]

Don't discount Brown either.

I haven't seen Coggy (Ray) since the Dolphins loss. I hope he is ok.

But the season is over before it even started. And Robbo should be sacked.

Cheese is still looking a bit unfit to my eyes.

My shingles is nearly over, so the season is back on.
I was very impressed by that effort last night, especially after losing Teddy.
Young Sammy was a standout in both defence and attack.
Baker and Whyte were strong, and quick.
It's great that they are getting game time, same for Allan and Turpin.
The only concern I have now is an injury to Walker and Keary.
That's where we lack quality cover.

And Tupinuoa ..... What a team.

Tilli is how I say Sitilli cause I can’t spell Tupinuoa.

Glad to hear your shingles has improved.

You make some great points Norfolk. The team is looking good with key players still to return. I agree we lack depth in the halves but I think most teams are going to have this issue. Spine players cost the most money so you can’t afford to have really good ones playing in reserves. Also, I’m glad your shingles is finally coming to an end.
