Moving back towards Proctor. We need a huge game from him and our forwards tomorrow. It would be so good to see us dominate another set of forwards especially our rivals.

I agree.
In particular, whoever plays 13 needs to put a big hit on Westerman early. We let him run too much and we need to dominate him so his off loads are reduced. A lot of their attacking play comes through him.

We do. We also need Atoni to pull his finger out, for me he’s been the biggest disappointment of all. He’s been the epitome of that classic line ‘Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane” and it’s time for him to step it up.

Yes he certainly does need to show some aggression tomorrow. I would have him coming off the bench after 20 minutes. He’s not a starting prop imo so may go better off the bench.

We really need the pack to step up and get us into positions to score points.

Total disappointment from this guy for me , was expecting big things but unfortunately lights on but no one is home . I’d be delighted for him to prove me wrong starting with tomorrow night ,but I won’t hold my breath

I don’t want to write him off completely just yet but he needs to be one of the forwards leading the pack.

He’s been over here a while now and it’s starting to get warmer. We need to see more from him now.

I agree.....but I dare you to call him "Jane" to his face

Classic first SL season for an Aussie, they are usually pretty average until they adjust to our game which takes a season for the vast majority.

Adrian Vowles at Cas was a classic example. Very poor the 1st season but went on to win MOS and become a cult hero.

Correct, especially forwards.

Bill Tupou was a classic, terrible to start with, but there are loads tbh. Unless you are a top NRL player at his peak and thus can't afford to fail, however they don't play in SL anymore.

I can buy into that in some positions and to be honest I’m not sure what people were expecting from Proctor. He had always been a grafter rather than a line breaking eye catcher. I think he is doing exactly what he has always done…all be it at a diminishing level due to his age. He’s never been a line ruining strike edge forward.

What I cannot accept though is using the settling in period as an excuse for the displays Atoni has so far put in. He’s been terrible. I understand there can be a settling in period but thus far his heart does not look in it. He does lie minutes and simply trundles it in.

If ever there was a lad that needed this game tonight it is Atoni as if he cannot get up for this match with the importance of it then I don’t know what we do with him.

Agreed Jonh,plus we've no time for players 'to settle in'

I've had no probs with his effort in games. But like some others, i'm not sure if he's playing in a role that he's been brought here for? I think Crowther could do what he's done so far, let's see what he comes up with tonight, if selected of course.

Maybe being on telly will inspire them all.
