Glad to see Riki get some love. Head gear Riki is a completely different player.

yeah I have been a world class hater on Riki but he has been excellent the last month or so. 48 tackles or something yesterday.

Man, I watched the replay again and just wanted to give a shout out to Xman.
What he did on the back of Haas was amazing and while it was disappointing he made a couple of errors, I suppose it is understandable after so long out.
The things that caught my eye though were 1. his defense, 2. his effect on the opposition.
To elaborate:
1. He pulled off a number of try savers / last ditch efforts where he just shut it down, those massive arms are going to be game winners.
2. Haas started to punch through with venom in the back end and who was running right next to him? Xman, it meant the Penrith had to think about whether going all in on Haas or holding to avoid space for Xman because he too was poking his head through, he is massive for us off the bench because the other thing is, it opened up space for Jensen, Talty and Hetherington to run into as well. And - he's a try scorer, you have to watch him if you are the opposition.

**** it’s so good that Haas is finally getting to experience some decent levels of success. The guy was doing shit like this and missing finals every year - heartbreaking

If there's anyone in the NRL that deserves a ring, it's him.

Huge effort, playing 41 minutes in a prelim coming back from weeks off. Around the same as Smoothy and Jensen. Made a huge difference with Patty out.

Looks like Haas to take it out again ... How many is that for him now?
For Walsh to take it he'll need to win the CC and have Haas not play.
P.s. how good is it to see two of the players who many people have questioned their positions in the team over the years finish 3rd and 4th ... Great seasons from Kotoni and Billy

It’s only because certain people have voted for Baker as a low-effort troll attempt

Yeah these votes happen regularly throughout the season, even games where Riki has been absolute trash he'll still receive a vote. You can always tell which ones are the troll votes.
