He "made an impact" against the Warriors. Was instrumental in making us go 8 points down early. Gave away a flagrant 6 again late in the count from where Warriors scored. I know those are often very debatable but that one was flagrant. 6-again every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Then...
That says it all! Well, good luck to him. Obviously I hope things go well but as I said, if we fall behind with his best mate starting, YET AGAIN. but end up losing by less than that, I'm going to flip out and officially going to become a critic.

Unfortunately it looks like Roosters got through the game unscathed. That's ok. We will have to do it the hard way. TBH, not particularly worried about Sam Walker. I don't think he and DCE in the halves suit each other.
He won't get offered much (relatively speaking) elsewhere either. He needs to get back into the shape he was when he got injured. He's too big and slow now.
Talking of player development, Courier Mail ranked the top 100 juniors.
Dolphins have:
Carter Ford from Yeppoon
Adam McSherry from Mackay
Noah Fien from Nudgee
Leo Fanuatanu from Redcliffe
Sangstar Figota from Wavell Heights
Charlie Dickson from Gold Coast

Honestly, when Isaako was signed I was thinking, "it's going to be a long year" or something to that end. But how good has he been? Still had a couple of bad games defensively but his biggest issue previously was the number of mistakes he made. Now he hardly has a mistake in his game at all...
Donoghue was good but made a few mistakes. It happens when one is constantly in the thick of the action as he was. Unless we are talking about Plath and Gilbert. The Courier Mail has Fin running for 112m and Kurt 107. Plath 100. In the backs Hammer 126, about 70 of which came from one run...
He used to be very good but age has caught up with him. Did he have a bad game last night? I only saw bits.
I'm not even saying Knowles is bad. He's just not as good for the team starting at lock than Plath, Donoghue or Stone.
Come on! That was one of Kurts worst games. Which isn't to say he had a bad game. Just nowhere near as good as usual.
Though yeah, JMK was very good. I should modify my rating.
