I think both teams missed their stars today. It was a solid game but very clunky at times. Just didn't seem to flow like usual. Cleary was a massive loss and even though Burton/Luai played OK, they don't have the same vision to open up a defence. Melbourne massively missed Papenhuyzen too. There was no linking up in the back line and it felt like Munster had to do everything by himself.

Good finish though. Wont see many more exciting 90 seconds in the game.

Roosters look to be in trouble.
Both half backs Lam and Clearey look like they have both received bad leg injuries.

Ben Walker's son to make his NRL debut this weekend.

Born in Leeds no less so qualifies to play for England, if he wanted to.

What a shambles Brisbane have become. More resources than any club, and they're still one of the worst teams in the comp. Although, if they think Kevin Walters is the man to steady the ship and lead them back to glory, they're going to be disappointed.

What a player Papenhuyzen is.
4 tries and 2 assists isn`t bad for someone filling another legends position.

They’ve 2 or 3 quality young players(Coates in particular) but it’s frightening how far they’ve fallen.

He’s got an incredible knack of getting in the right places when it matters

I think they hit rock bottom last season and will avoid the wooden spoon this year. Classic example of a club making a mess of recruitment. Has been going on for about 10-15 years. As you say they have a 2 or 3 quality players and some decent youngsters. They're really lacking an experienced halfback. Milford is more of an instinctive player and it's too much to ask of the two kids (Duerden and Croft) to steer them around.

The appointment of Kevin Walters is mystifying. Sure he did ok with Origin but his only club level experience was shambolic.

Rumours coming out yesterday that Reynolds might be looking for a new club if he doesn`t get a pay rise.

Plenty of NRL clubs could use him. Take the Broncos who need an experienced reliable halfback. He'd make a massive difference there.

That Penrith half back partnership is something pretty special.

Penrith look a class apart at the moment but it'll be interesting to see if they can keep this up, they're bound to have a blip at some point.
