I'm hoping last night's performance was down to the side being a bit shaky with Reyno out.
They have played well without him before this season, but it's different when you're facing life without your captain and most experienced player for months. Hopefully this win gives the side some confidence that if they can get the little effort areas right, they will be too good for most sides.
We really need a better performance next week. We cannot dish out what we did last night against Manly next week, DCE will fucking kill us. Even without Turbo, they're a big threat. They have played without him so much in recent years that they have learned how to win without him.

Ahh I didn’t realise it was something they were aware. I was worried he might have broken it, I wonder what the issue is?

Manly win without Turbo?
Edit: just found this stat: "The Sea Eagles remain a far better team with him on the field, winning 63 per cent of games with him as opposed to 34 per cent without him since the start of 2019."

There's no staking a claim at this point. He'll fill a role and continue his development. He isnt getting past Smoothy and Walters just yet.

I don't think they've learned how to win without Turbo yet.
Case and point every year (including last year) he has gotten injured long term...

Would love to see Mozer play with Haas and Carrigan.

Jetski is fucked. No wonder the Cows let him go.

As for the halves, I really like the Rogers option. Sure, Jock has earned it etc etc… however, I feel like Rogers just plays his role. The kicks for touch at the end to slow the game and stay in control were exactly what the team needed. We just seemed a calm team, getting their work done with a sprinkle of individual brilliance.

has Baker been replaced as the BHQ scapegoat?
people seriously need to give players time.
we're talking about a fringe first grader, who relocated a week ago, barely even knows his new team mates, barely even knows our structures and hasn't really had any time to gel with the team (obviously he hasn't even had a pre-season with us, just a couple of training sessions)

When you stop and think we had six of the team sitting at age 21 last night, our future without Reyno looks just as bright with or without him (cue Bono/U2). Having got over the psychological hurdle of last night I think our boys will do a number on the sea-gulls (sic) next week, I really do.
I'm hoping Mozer gets a go from the bench along with his big partner in crime BTK. I'd be given Paddy 20 minutes (no more) in each half and I'd even think seriously about him missing his second stint if we are cruising away from the 'home' team.
I don't think he needs a rest, I just think he's slowed down to give the rest of the comp a chance to catch up. I mean look at the gap he has opened up on the players' leader board if you're still not convinced.

Riki has been much better in attack the past few weeks .
That back hand flick he got away to Mariner shows he has it in him but keeps it simple .
