Waiting for the pressers is a waste of time BUT man, that is 150% Reuben Cotter's kid, there is zero doubt.

Well he'll get little love persisting with Burton and Galvin in the halves. Clearly doesn't work, and he's not got luxury options at 9 and 1 either.

Anyone else feel that Ciraldo's days are numbered?

He's had a fair bit of time to build his team and systems but yet to see much in the way of results.

Bet you he trots out some bollocks in the post match about needing his "best communicators" out there. 😄

Appears to be whatever they had building has faded. I can't help but think Galvin is a big part of this, absolutely no cohesion with the team on when he kicks the ball or decides to run a play. He also too often will do a pretty much useless non threatening kick/ play that doesn't provide any threat and kills pressure. Sexton and Burton was the winning combo
 
Great win with all the players out. How good was it to watch a game where there wasn't a 6 again every second set. Karapani's defence was great and sometimes I think he is actually covering for Shiba as well who got owned a few times by Crichton tonight.

The new forwards in Riki and Semu had great games and I reckon they may have just jumped J Hunt and Goski when we start getting some players back.

Mariner had another great game and would be a great replacement if Shiba moves on at the end of the year.
 
Maguire:
- Lots of talk about who is not in them but we are focusing on those who are in the team, what a great opportunity for them
- Piki and Semu had a great opportunity and they did well
- Hayze was excellent, he's been patient and it says a lot about him that he has taken his opportunity

Reynolds:
- Similarities to last week but when you repel it gives you confidence
- You could the side was up after that
- Adam Walsh is a big part of the club and we wanted to play for him, he gave an all time speech (about the armed forces)
- We just wanted to go out there and play with the spirit of the ANZACs and hopefully we did him proud

Maguire:
- Xman is growing as a player, he was excellent last week as well as tonight
- Xman is at another level now, its exciting what he and Talty are doing with the troops to come back
- Our boys are super proud of how hard they work and I'm really pleased for the playing group
- You could sense the team was up for this before the game and they are showing their capabilities with the next man up attitude, this is a reflection on the maturity in our game

Reynolds:
- Mam is continually growing and our combination is growing but his combination on the left edge is getting stronger
- He was excellent tonight and it is a pleasure to play alongside him

Maguire:
- Semu and Piki were excellent and it was so pleasing to give them a debut
- They announced themselves and will be a big part of what we are doing into the future
- Staggs should be talked about in the origin space, he should be there
- The way he is playing through the things he is, he should be an origin player
- Piakura needs to get scans but he's probably one we will be without for a couple of weeks
- If I were NSW coach, I would be picking Staggs

Thanks everyone
