Having watched it again on TV last night, I stand corrected and have to agree about Pauli Pauli...he DID go ok...yes there were the 2 penalties he gave away, but he put in a good stint and gained a fair few metres too and had his offload to Lyne or BJB gone to hand then we could have won .
Think he will go even better on the harder summer grounds though

I don't think he would have got over as the Cas defenders had him pretty well wrapped up and as I said, it was just unlucky that the offload didn't go to hand.
I've been a bit unfair to the guy so far and did actually say out loud during the game when he gave one of the penalties away that he should get on the first plane home, but having watched it back again I have to admit I was wrong and he did have a good game for us and hopefully will continue to get better.
For the others that have similarly criticised him on here, I would suggest you re-watch the game again and it might just change your opinion too ??

You'll be telling us that having pins stuck in our eyes isn't really that bad and we should give it a go.

You've never tried it ?????

That goes for most players that get criticised on here .

Very similar occurrence in the Catalan V Shudds game. Mcallorum does exactly the same as Fifita and gets the penalty.

I just remember in last years Super 8 game you were hanging on to our tails and whilst we were ahead we couldn't get a commanding lead. We then switched the attack to our right with Webster and Mcmeeken running over the top of Miller several times. Think Webster finished with 4 tries. I think it was Miller that Meeks went straight through for our try this time but it was just that once. I was surprised how well Pauli went considering the stick he's taken on here, certainly doesn't lack enthusiasm. Thought Wood was outstanding.

Wasn't it Finn who missed the tackle?

Haven't watched it back yet but seem to think it was Miller.

Just had a quick look and Mcmeeken goes almost between Miller and another player (could be Tupou) but commentator blames Miller. To be fair Miller had no chance of stopping him.

While your at it have another look at Roberts hands and the direction the ball leaves them.

It was forward, its a 50/50 though, some you get some you don't.
McMeeken is a big lump, if Roberts pass is released a fraction earlier ie, not forward, he's still more likely to score than not I reckon.
Not really the point, I know.
Interesting that we have very few complaints about the ref for the loss at the codheads this week

Momentum.
