Multiple errors and continued to look slow and unenthusiastic. Did not stand out at all.
He did produce a nice cut out ball to set up the winger... I did not know he had that pass in his game
 
Cheers! Did he play wing? How did cup defence handle his runs?

He played fullback and honestly, they had no issue stopping him. He made no effort to get back to his feet for a quick play the ball and gave up chasing a couple of times.

He looked awkward out there, which is probably fair enough considering the circumstance. It's so obvious he has lost the acceleration and top speed of an elite fullback, and seems to exclusively try and run over people rather than past them. I say why not embrace it? Put him in second row, get him trucking nut up the middle, hitting gaps at speed, running onto grubbers or bombs in the centre of the field.
 
Souths too little too late, from 12-12 the three tries in 13 minutes straight after HT mean you get what you deserve.

Two tries at the end to make it look close but that's it. Black scored a good try stepping inside after Mozer gave him a half hole.

Some very soft tries from Pride, Latrell's effort on Braidon Burns was horrid.
Do you know if Semu is okay? Seeing him fall down clutching his knee didn't look good.
 
Cobbo can go now. On a side note, Berryman is the worst half I've ever seen and I can't wait for Madge to pick him next time Reynolds goes down.

Honestly with how slow he is moving currently and his desire to just run straight into people, he wouldn’t be out of a place as a bench middle. I don’t think he has the agility anymore to be a second rower. I don’t know if it’s injury or laziness but he has badly regressed.

Didn't look good, he grabbed and came straight off. I haven't heard anything but something wasn't right about him all game. He had his hands on his head and hips a lot.

Not sure starting is agreeing with him.
 
The guys who watched, how has Cobbo’s game been?

I didn't think he looked that bad, he looked slow and could have made some better efforts in defence.

But certainly, wasn't bad. But nothing that will make Madge pick him. Madge doesn't want to see him run 100m and score, he wants to see him dive when Farr turned him inside out or make a great effort on Dudley when he ran away.
 
Siegwalt v Cobbo this week- battle of the Relaxed Cup.
 
Souths best attack in the comp 29.8 points a game.
Second worst defence 27 points per game.
 
Baxter Best playing Langer in year 10 last night runs 40m to set up Parker. Good come back from Ipswich after Wavell gave them a touch up last week.
 
Antonio Verhoeven first game for PBC after missing round one because of a family funeral at home. Settled in, nothing like his Meninga form.
 
Dudley no room to work and just smokes past Mulitalo and scores.

12 tries in 11 games.
 
Great first half Bears v Blackhawks. Bears best half all year.
 
The Dudley Double!

Just turned under and he speeds through to score.

In between three Bears. That's his fourth double this year.
