I’m pumped to see Sua, but also a little disappointed if I’m honest. I don’t see wing allowing Sua to have his best performance. His electric speed and evasiveness is unquestionable, but height and weight are a concern for a modern first grade winger.

Will he be out-leapt when defending? Will he monstered coming out of our own end for tough carries?

I guess we will see. Fingers crossed I am wrong and Sua kills it regardless.

Tell me he didn’t stand on the line with that 40/20

2 errors so far, Loiero to bomb a try and Warbrick dropping a ball with the Titans scoring the next set.

What a shocker.

Munster the milestone man goes over in game 200! Lovely work by Blore and Papenhuyzen in the lead up, unselfish from Paps too could have easily crossed himself.

Nice try by Warbrick there, huge overlap right off the scrum and nice tip on by Paps for Warbrick to cross, much better.

Titans have lost Tanah Boyd for the game, we need to really press the accelerator now.

Papenhuyzen getting his hands all over the ball, 2 try assists and a try in 6 minutes.

Shawn Blore is quietly becoming elite out on that left edge, what a fantastic bit of business getting him in for Olam.

That Sua try was beautiful. That skip and speed is just too good.

Wishart comes on and bombs a try, excellent stuff.

Papenhuyzen hurt bad, looks an ankle, not good. At least we get to see Sua in the fullback spot for a bit.

Munster bombs that one. Should have gone himself and he scores for sure. Even then, Wishart had to catch that, FMD.

Yeah I was surprised Munster didn’t just pin his ears back looked enough space there to waltz through.

I can’t believe Paps is hurt again, been absolutely killing it tonight, devastated.

Sucks for Paps. That chase on Brimson was excellent. Just can’t catch a break.

Syndesmosis maybe. Didn’t look minor though.

Wishart doesn’t look suited to wing. At least we get a look at Sua out the back.
