You're starting to remind me of Lotti.

Yeah wouldn't mind another look at him. He had a go earlier in the year and looked a little out of place, might be time for another go. Shame Howarth and Garlick didn't play this week as they'd be surely in line for a recall too.

Real fans aren’t one eyed and can take off their purple glasses and call out a bad play or an out of form player, sorry if it offends your sensitive personality.

Not sensitive. Just think you’re a dribbler.

Warbrick and Meaney both deserve a kick up the ass. Would love to know how frustrated they were making the coaching staff.

Anderson having the game of his life as mostly a centre/running 5/8th is pretty funny and very lucky. It was either a fluke or there is a decent centre in there? We’ll find out pretty soon.

Ahm, fluke.
He had a blinder in his first (?) game when he scored "a thousand" tries, lived off that reputation for a while before finding his way out of the team.
As good as he was on the weekend I think it was more as a result of the backpedalling, disinterested team we were against.

And NAS. Although he just had a very public kick up the ass, so not sure what another one would do… but we need a lot more from him.

NAS since returning to the side;

Round 7 - 32 Minutes - 70 Metres
Round 8 - 27 Minutes - 92 Metres
Round 9 - 36 Minutes - 89 Metres
Round 10 - 32 Minures - 65 Metres
Round 11 - 26 Minutes - 67 Metres

And tbh, I wouldn’t even care about that output if NAS was skittling blokes, getting quick play the balls or offloads. But it all seems very pedestrian at the moment. Especially when we all know what he is actually capable of.

I’m sure a few would say Munster but NAS has been our most disappointing player for awhile now. We’ve paid him like he should be the leader of the forward pack and he’s barely an impact bench player these days. I do wonder if his size and being a first grader since 2015 is starting to catch up with him?
