That's the Hammer. Can be MIA and take soft options for 90% of the game. However when the game is there to be won, he's one of the most clutch players in the competition.
Titans defended well but they have some glaring issues down that right edge.

Well deserved win for the Knights. They've been an early highlight in 2026 and the playmakers have done a brilliant job of getting them around the park.
It's a shame about the injuries. Hopefully it's not too severe with Ponga and Brown - it took the steam out of the match.
Manly weren't switched on. They missed the bus and found themselves behind by two. They managed to put on two of their own but they refused to defend.
Even down by 20, they had an opportunity to pinch this game but they weren't willing to play tough. If there was one positive to draw from their first half, they got through their sets. That went out the window and they just expected Tom to do everything.

Fins looked like thet played different attacking structures today. They certainly didn't use their go to second man block plays as much.
Not sure why but they should stick to what they're good at.
Credit to the Tits though they did race up and pressure them..
Fins were lucky the Hammer decided to play the last 20.

Pretty sure we did the same play with Willison last season and he's even bigger

'Something needs to change in a hurry for the Dolphins.'
Right on cue, Hau is penalised for pressure on the neck of Cobbo. Barely anything in it, Cobbo slips over trying to escape the tackle of Fifita and Hau slips over trying to make the tackle.
The other set restarts were fair enough but that's usually how it unfolds. They'll feel obliged to give the opposition a right of reply and will pull a penalty out of their back-side.
A tale as old as time.
The good teams just absorb it. For teams like ours, we have to pray that the opposition implodes.

Still, the biggest issue with the Titans was their kicking game.
Kini did so well to deny Isaako in the corner.
Only for Ilias to kick the ball 30m.
Dolphins on the front foot, force the goal line drop out and Sami makes a boo boo.
