Was good, other than the Dragons game we’ve been doing what’s needed against lowly opposition. Last weeks loss was a bit off a concern though how far off the pace we looked against a top side.

Yeah, there is another Sione Katoa that plays Hooker for CanterburyWhat is the deal with Sione Katoa? Is he our player in 2021 or is he a Bulldog? The reason I ask is that there is a Sione Katoa listed with the Bulldogs for 2020 and 2021. Are there two players with the same name?

Adding to that, we had Graham, Woods, and Johnson with 241/200/192 games experience but after that it's a huge drop off to Jack Williams with 39 games, was only the Broncos but still a pretty good effort to win with 14 players who've played less than 40 games.We had 8 players who had played less than 20 games each so on that basis we can cut the boys some slack. I guess we were lucky we drew the Broncos when we were so under manned. We will need to regain some experience next week or we will get smashed.
Shaun Johnson's recent excellent goal-kicking form has been a big help too.
Yep, shocking, I should know for future reference if I see Cummins refereeing, just turn it off and save the heartache. He is a disgrace
Also the Video ref is no better, I had a look and back when he was an on field official, we won 3 games in 5 years and lost every close one. The no try for the off side was rubbish to overturn the on field call, no way he could say definitively that it was off side, the close sideline camera looked like it was fine.
7-2 penalty count, 5-2 set restarts, it was complete one sided bullshit. Its about time someone came out and said what we really think of him.

Cummins referees like he is the reason people go to the game. It is as if he just has to be the main attraction. I once posted on another thread that Cummins thinks little kids ask their fathers, 'can we go and see Mr Cummins referee today Dad?'
Just to jog your memory it was Cummins who called six again in last year's Grand Final only to overturn his decision after the next tackle. That fu** up probably cost the Raiders a Premiership. The link below is just to let you know you are not alone in your assessment of Ben Cummins.
‘Embarrassment’: Howlers spark meltdown
The NRL Grand Final has gone to the Sydney Roosters after a controversial 14-8 win in a thriller against the Canberra Raiders.www.news.com.au
What exactly has gone wrong with Moylan? I am a casual follower of rugby league and the NRL, haven't watched much at all for the last couple of years, and trying to follow more closely this year. The Moylan I remember was a brilliant young fullback at the Panthers, one I had really high hopes for. Watching the highlights on youtube just now, I was a bit shocked with him, just doesn't seem to care that much, very casual approach, not great at all.Absolutely played well enough to have won that. If we convert 1/3 of our tries it is golden point. If we convert 2/3 we win.
Ref was atrocious (but what do you expect fom Ben Cummins?) Obvious knock on by Ferguson in last 10 minutes not called, a 7-2 penalty count against (none for us in the last 73 minutes) and a pushed scrum that looked like a dog breakfast.
And a recap if Moylans game:
1. 1st half Knock on leading to a Eels score
2. Terrible pass to Ramien leading to a Parramatta score
3. Feeds a scrum late giving eels a chance to push leading to a penalty and score
4. Kicks the ball dead in goal on 3rd tackle (almost on the full in the wet, schoolboy error) in the last 10 mins when we need to score.
Dont come Monday, Matt. In fact take another week off.
