Tagataese put himself about in that game with some crunchers with Kieran Foran been on the end of a couple . He took them well though !!

It's a regular occurrence with Foran, I love the way he plays. God knows how long he can sustain it for, he'll only have a five year career at this rate.

Good try, though!

Cherry Evans outplaying his half-back partner Foran today.

Both have been fantastic imo , Peach of a ball from Brett Stewart for Cherry Evans second try.

Pearce v Thurston for the second time this week.

Knights v Eels was a low scorer but still cracking.
Look out for the hit on Jarryd Hayne.

Just been a massive hit on Braith Anasta in the Roosters game too, try saver as well as being huge!

What about 13 for the Cowboys, Dallas Johnson.
Tried to hit Hargreaves in the back and totally sparked himself.



Matty Bowen doesn't do bad for an all but 30 year old with a couple of knee surgeries behind him.

He cut Hayne in half . Just how sh17 are the Rooster's , Less than 50% completion rate .

Rhubarb aren't they.

Wigan could be loosing Hoffman as he wants to go back to Melbourne .

Always going to happen.

You could say that about most Aussies now. I think the next two to three years could be a good opportunity for young British players now .

It was pretty much common knowledge he was only coming for a year.

The NRL is made out by many on RLFans to be some competition full of super humans, but although the standard of the top players is higher, the average players are the same standard of those in Super League IMO. Look at our squad, if Briscoe, , Gleeson, Moa, Ogre, Houghton, Manu, Fitz and possibly Tickle and Yeaman, and then Horne and Long who would have done at their peaks had their hearts set on a deal in the NRL I'd be surprised if any of them couldn't get a deal.

The comp looks better than Super League because the top players are all at different clubs, not concentrated on 3/4 like here.

Are you acknowledging that the nrl player pool has been diluted by a hundred players?

The Broncs back-row is sensational but Lockyer put in a masterclass in kicking today.

The top 20% in the NRL are light years ahead of anybody we've got, the rest is pretty even.
The sooner we get 2 Refs and speed up our ruck the better.

I think even Wigan, Saints and Warrington would really struggle not to be wooden spooners in the NRL. That good young Saints team that beat Leeds tonight would get torn apart, physically not in the same league.

Great!

Wests are McKinnon-less although he was down to start.

Was always 50/50 for this one.

Saw he was down to start on the NRL website so was gonna have a good look at him. Not to worry.

Lote didn't last very long on his comeback.

Has he injured his arm again?

Ankle.

Another golden point decider.
Great stuff.

Ellis was massive in his first game back.
