Martin seems to always play better when Lui plays and ays well, i think Martin struggles without decent service

I’m sure the club will work it out but I reckon Broadbent does Newman for pace and skill, and Newman does Broadbent for acceleration and footwork. Newman is more aggressive. A decent winger outside Broadbent will score a hatful. I can see Newman being a physical specimen in a few years and he played pretty well on the right when Hurrell was left.

Broadbent is definitely still developing but he is a classic centre.

Thought Mellor went well today.He ran better lines and as usual put it in in defence.

Tindall isnt the answer.

Concur with most of this. Glad we didn't get stretched out wide this week. I don't think we offered much of a threat of our own in that regard though. Martin offered little. Smith just slows the play down too much for me. Hall needed to be getting the ball before the tackler was on him. We're still not putting up contestable bombs. I thought Liam was more involved this week, but never a first choice half. Broadbent and Tetevano have been mentioned. As have A Sutcliffe's big hits, Mik not getting back on and needing to see more of Tindall when Hurrell's back. Mellor did ok for mine. King needs to be in the 17 to justify signing.

Maybe not but he should be given a chance.

Not for me. Hes very raw.

Tindall is a good longer term prospect but has a bit to work on.

I do agree that Stephens would have been a useful player to have retained, given our lack of quality cover in outside backs.

they have their moments of being ablett and jones but not irreplaceable as far from being ellis and ali

Really every time anyone put a bit of footwork on him he missed the tackle - very average player - typical of this team - more moneyball than quality.

I think we have more talented players than both in our system to be honest.

Again though Mellor was injured last year and coming back from surgery now. Martin was badly effected by COVID.

Some Aussies do struggle in their second years over here though for some reason.

I thought Gale was very poor today - his kicking was a shambles and he had zero control - perhaps this is a season too far for him. Hall is a great prospect but he isn't physically up to SL. Broadbent MOM for me - he had a great game as did Alex Sutcliffe. No sure about Leeming either - hopefully he will improve his distribution - simple pass to Briscoe easy try.

Harsh not seen stats for this week but he was top tackler with only 2 misses against Wakefield.

Season too far is a bit melodramatic to put it mildly. He's on his own and recovering from an injury.When he's fit and got someone decent next to him I reckon he'll be class again(I thought he was excellent against wakey).

Agree on hall, but he was actually better physically than I exacted for someone his age and experience.realistically he isn't going to get that many chances this year anyway.

Yeah he does, I just don’t think Mellor together with Martin gives us enough imo not against the better teams
