I have heard and read - can't recall where, that Shiba is very solid defensively, and last night I thought his defensive reads were outstanding, making crucial tackles. In attack, he just needs to find his rhythm and confidence. I reckon he is a cut above Roberts atm especially in defence.
As for Mitchell, I don't think he was under-done at all. For mine, our game plan was to nullify him and that is exactly what we did. Stinging defence and moving up quickly on him 2 at a time before he had a chance to build speed and momentum. Great game plan. Kevvie ought to have a close look at how to nullify him.

All of those players that were signed long term simply did their EXPECTED job against the roosters. And one of those was missing!
Please enlighten us about intellectual dishonesty, I'm sure it will be rivetimg reading...
And BTW, our 2 origin centres weren't out. 1 ex origin Centre was out due to an acl injury (is that meant to be a pro or con against the coaching?), and the other was dropped due to a poor attitude that has was not knocked out by the last coach...

Basically that the Roosters has been a bit off and they’d be fine and get over the top on the end. It was said very cockily. No credit given to the opposition and very arrogant.
This week is the first time he's been able to play- Last week was no ISC because of Residents playing.
He has great balance, you would have noticed he's always in position and prepared for the contact. He doesn't miss too many tackles for Norths.
Under 20 Origin game last year Papenhuyzen came down his side from fullback every set and he communicated well with Taulagi and handled it beautifully wasn't flustered once.

I'm pretty excited to see how he develops. I think he's got a bit about him. He moves well. If he can get a bit of confidence, he'll be a real asset. I think he's one of these guys that is quicker than he looks. Bit like Hodgo.

I don't think he is slow at all , he would be just as quick as staggs.
To be fair he did say well liked players.

He seems to have a reasonable top speed, but his acceleration is not the best best.
Yeah he is a big boy but, so he will never have great acceleration.

"Well liked"
Also.... Mcguire had a 3 year deal on the table worth more than the broncos could give. Seibold really screwed him there didn't he...

Just watching the highlights on Kayo now and that Oates no-try was a blunder from the touch judge. On replay, it’s flat but she’s actually moving backwards and got the call hopelessly wrong.

Also, like everyone else has already said, Tedesco never got the ball down.

At first I thought it was fine but when they showed the side on angle it did look a little foward to be honest. There is nothing worse than a try being taken off your team because the officials got the call wrong, in this case I think they got it right.
