Fusitu'a MOM for me. Ran the ball straight and hard (as always) but actually got some decent ball on the left wing and made his tries look very easy. Lisone looked the cannonball prop I'd hoped he might be although he did come on against a tiring pack. The week off did him good. Like the look of McDonnell. No flash to him, but really solid and can beat a man. Sezer looked a threat when he ran the ball.

Tale of two halves really.

First half utterly forgettable

Second half we we’re really good, we start to look like we’re getting up to speed. Lisone looked better and turned the game IMO.

Newman didn’t do much but what he did was all class, hope he can stay fit because he is the real deal

Well what they consider to be soft opposition.... but clearly neither were that soft.

Glad Fusitu'a listened to the criticism I ave him and picked up his game.....

Performances are likely to continue to be patchy for a while as combinations get going and players come and go. Picking up points is the main thing, so we don't need a miracle run later in the year. Also just getting that relegation dogfight off the agenda will nice for a change....

Think it’s all been said, with Handley injured I guess the back line picks itself. A couple of Cas fans I know were surprised we signed Olpherts. He seems to make 1 poor error a game, hopefully he can keep it to one or less next week at Cas.

Bet Cas fans wish they still had Olpherts..better than current rubbish

Wakey huffed and puffed but looked clueless for large parts of that game.
The fact we continually ballsed up our chances certainly kept them in the game but as soon as we got ourselves going we were far too good.

Side note, anyone else get massive “Willie Mason at HKR” vibes on Proctor? He was absolute gash, if I was a Wakey supporter id be furious with that non appearance.

Proctor is an absolute fraud. Terrible

I've never rated Proctor. He was always average in a great Melbourne side and was never impressive for New Zealand. He's only at Wakey for one last pay day, and because no other club would touch him with a bargepole.

and boy does it show.

Think people are being harsh on Proctor. You don’t have an NRL and international career like his unless you are quality. Look how long it’s taken Tetevano to settle!

Nah. Proctor's been phoning it in for a few years now. He's one of those players everyone notices because of his hair, but he really has been ordinary for quite a while.

Bear in mind the current Wakey team would make JP in his prime look rubbish!
