He wasn't good at centre. It's a myth.
Agree. Had one great game at left centre but was dead average in his time at right centre. Could always put on a hit which seemed to perpetuate the myth.

Papalii last tackle hit up at the line, again? Pass it to somebody who's going to do something with it!

Paps to hit it up on the 5th is the new game plan.

Hodgson has to do better with that
That’s twice he’s turn a 5th tackle option into a hit up

75th min Hodgson kicks early! At least it forces a line drop out.

78th min Jack Wighton throws an intercept, 5 metres out from the line.

Melbourne Storm 22
Canberra Raiders 10

FULL TIME

Vunivalu bags hat-trick as Storm beat Raiders

A first-half hat trick from Fijian flyer Suliasi Vunivalu helped the Storm power to a 22-10 win over Canberra at GIO Stadium on Friday.

A second try to Croker in the 67th minute gave the Green Machine faithful some hope but when Josh Papalii ran the ball on the last tackle and was held up with seven minutes to play the wind went out of their sails.

Do we really expect to score tries using the slowest, weakest sweep plays imaginable ?

Aidan Sezer

Post by LastRaider »

How much longer as a club do put up with Sezar‘ such inconsistency and inability to take control as a half?

I’m just completely over this 1 good game out of 10 games!

Vunivalo has had a very good game

I’m still satisfied. They kept me in there until the end of the game

Good effort, boys. Just need to work on a few small things
