I actually reckon it wouldnt be a bad idea to give some of our players coming back from injury another week tbh, especially Reynolds. Its not like we have to rush them back right now. Maybe put Payno on the bench.
You see that bomb he put up that lead to Mam's try? That came down fizzing. I don't think any fullback would have enjoyed trying to catch that, let alone a rookie. Madden is showing improvement the more chances he gets, that is all you can ask.
The other thing I really like about Madden is that he is quick, both with his feet and in his head. He did some fantastic covering tackles too that as much as Reyno would want to pull off as well, his little legs wouldn't let him do so.
Jock Madden's kicking tonight was superb.
One or two not so good, but he was relentless with those high bombs and they were well weighted so even if Raiders caught them the chasers had enough time to get there and smash them the moment they got the ball.
I’m not too fussed about who we chuck at second row as long as it isn’t Patty. We just need a depth option. Riki is solid with the occasional poor defensive lapse and not offering much in attack, but he’s a good role player in a team of stars on a favourable contract.
Pikaura is a very good player.
Our options are sorted we just need depth that can fill in for a few games here and there. We don’t ever really even use our second rows in attack. They’re just out there defending and running...
