Scrappy but entertaining win.
As already said, Croft put his best foot forward tonight. Took on the line and wasnt shy about shovelling the ball out quick to Staggs and co when we had them going backwards. f he can build on that I'll be very pleased.
Was pleased to see that right edge having...
One would think that the Bali incident may well have delayed any public acknowledgement of Fifita re-signing.
From a PR perspective, you don't reward alleged shenanigans with a rich contract. The media would have a field day. Especially after recent events and blowback over Lodge's signing.
I...
Tough match up for Whittaker off a long lay-off. Complexion of the fight was decided by whoever was prepared to be patient for their opportunities.
Unfortunately Whittaker was over zealous in diving into range and Adesanya was able to rack up counters consistently, and the accumulation was...
Really can't pick this one. If I had to I'm leaning towards Whittaker on account of his grit and tenacity.
If he can avoid biting on Israel's feints and eating counters off that, it'll go a long way. Gastelum was able to navigate his length and land, if Bobby can get inside and rough him up...
Outstanding defensive intensity from the Raiders. Spend the first ten pinned in their half, soak up all the pressure and are first on the board off the back of three forced turnovers.
I say Fifita is still doing fine. Kid is a beast.
Halves aren't creating anything for him, he's getting the ball flat-footed and still plowing through defenders and standing in the tackle.
Once we get some halves running some shapes on the edge he'll go berserk IMO.
Agreed. We got a bit carried away at times but it was good to see them fire up for once. May have backfired a couple of times but we didn't take a backward step all night.
Scrappy but a great win. Attitude and intent was there in spades.
Haas is a beast. The only prop I've seen with similar athleticism is Fifita in his pomp but Haas' workrate, discipline, and reliability is absurd.
Klein was a deadset joke. Penrith grubbing up the ruck all game. Both sin bins...
Pretty good win, despite quality of the opposition.
It's been a long time coming, but I feel this forward pack we've assembled is the perfect mix. Workhorses, post contact metres eaters, offloads and flair.
Milford looked good at the back but we're lacking a real general in the halves. If...
Clunky but I can deal with it. Immense pressure by Warriors and NZ through the first half, therefore not too displeased overall.
Would have loved to see some spark in attack but conceding only one try over the last fortnight? I'll take that.
Have to pay our efforts on RTS tonight. Gave him no...
