Joseph Greenwood, formerly of St Helens, in his second game in the NRL, has scored a try for the Gold Coast Titans in their defeat by Newcastle Knights today.

George Burgess, dropped to South Sydney's reserve grade team by his coach, Michael McGuire, was given a reprieve and played well for Souths NRL team in their decisive win 38-18 over an injury-depleted Manly at Lottoland (formerly Brookvale Oval). Brother Samuel performed well but was not at his peak form.

Joshua Hodgson and more so Elliot Whitehead poor for the Raiders today.

Hard to perform well in a team so decisively defeated in the second half. In the long term Joshua is not the problem but the solution.

Yes, you are correct, the pretenders got their @rses handed to them on their own patch by the reigning Premiers.

Stellar performance from the Sharks... featuring some new generation Sharkies in the line up!

A record four Englishmen captaining NRL sides this weekend.

Sam Burgess and Widdop probably the stand out for the English in the NRL this weekend.

George Burgess made 2 errors soon after coming on for Souths, Tom not on the bench.

Canberra wiped by a rampant Cronulla side scoring at will and being all over the Raiders pack. Hodgson & Whitehead did little wrong though, Jordan Turner played in the reserve grade and had a good game my scouts tell me, although, I am not certain he will make the grade at Canberra.

I didn't see the Titans game but Greenwood scored as mentioned, he will go "ok" in what is a low/mid level NRL team and may get a regular slot.

James Graham always gives everything at Canterbury but not good enough as a team this weekend.

Has Sarginson made any howlers yet? Only a matter of time.

I saw his match last week and he was ok but nothing really to shout home about.

Not even sure how he got on this week, the lads at the Titans should really be making waves as it is not a great team.

Daniel Sarginson didn't play this last weekend because of injury. But he has been picked to play in the centres next weekend in what should be a tough home ground encounter with a rampant Parramatta. The Titans unfortunately will be without their injured super star Jarryd Hayne and winger Anthony Don.

Phillip "Gus" Gould last year identified Joseph Greenwood as a good prospect for the NRL.

Did anybody actually see Greenwood's try? It's pretty ridiculous, definitely worth tracking down if you have the time.

Joseph Greenwood was there to take the final pass from Christopher McQueen and score, but it was not brilliance from Joseph Greenwood but rather a desperate team effort that led to the try.

Greenwood played well today, no mistakes, creates a try with a knock back and played the ball quickly for a try to be scores by his dummy half. He is settling in well, I don't think he will ever be a world beater but he was always steady.

No sign of Sarginson.
