Putrid game.

Watching Hopoate get outpaced by Tino will do me.

Starling, Savage and CHN continue with their inconsistency.

Good to win. I'm putting that game in the never to be remembered category.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Yep but as someone who's accepted we don't have a very high ceiling this year, I'm fine with it. Happy to get the W

Let’s drop the CHN who played this week and bring in that CHN fella who played last week. He was a gun.

6 and 7 improving every week. 9 is quite serviceable but still need the 1 to sort a few things out. Not where we need to be but some things improving

CHN awful in that game. Starling still can't pass a football. Savage good on the ball, but clueless in defensive positioning.

We are playing with one decent second rower out there.

Starlings passing is a problem in the second halves now. Woolford needs more game time

It's an 80 minute game Raiders. Soft try at the end to the Titans and could have been another to them. Opportunity to improve F/A by 18 points surrendered. Cannot afford to relax until in the dressing sheds Raiders.

Happy with the two competition points. Fog played well and what I expect from a FG half back. His goal kicking fell away at the end but hopefully that is a lesson he can learn. His tactical kicking was generally good again until near the end. Kris and Cotric played well and Taps was immense. Papa and Young did well. Timoko had some nice carries. Hopoate not as impressive as last week. Savage some good runs. The Jack kick from the scrum for Kris and Savage looked good until Savage tried to pick up the ball rather than toe it ahead. It is a skill and a level head he will need to learn.

CHN and Hoppa subbed in their evil twins this week. Rapana straight back in for Hoppa. CHN needs to lift or could find himself in reserves again.

Not sure what CHN, Timoko and Hoppa were smoking in that second half. Terrible defense all round. Expecting a lot of the laziness to clean up next week just because we're facing the panthers.

Whitehead obviously can't play 80, but CHN is a disaster if we go through any length of time without the ball. His conditioning and defence is just rubbish.

I wonder if we can get some minutes out of horse on the edge? Or recruit? Need to try something. CHN will get targeted every week from here

I wouldn’t be shocked if Rapa played a lot more at the back in coming weeks. Some of Savage’s errors are really hurting us!

Thought we played well, but those line breaks that the titans made were soft, that needs to be fixed up even though playing a penrith side without cleary, savage needs to be more controled, does everything at a hundred miles in hour.

Hoppa was limp.

Slower than a snail in reverse. Couldn't break a tackle and made stupid handling errors. But, he is our what....5th choice winger? Hoping HSS is ready next year.

But even for a 5th choice winger speed is a key requirement. Edrick Lee never rose to great heights with us but at least the potential was there. He was quick and if he could sort the hand out and fix a few things then the sky was the limit. If Hoppa is truly that slow it hardly matters what other tools he adds he will still be slow…

Are you actually watching the games ? How could you not see he's a bit slow

Edrick is much better than Hoppa.

Our wingers in order;

Kris
Schiller

I agree that Hoppa is not up to scratch but pretty nice to have that depth.

So disappointing that we are unable to compete for 80 minutes.

They just seem to lose interest, or clock off, or whatever. Frustrating as hell.

I live in hope that we'll turn up next week and take on the Panthers, none of this half arsed BS.
