Probably a good call against the Eels to be fair, and likely the Storm too.

Would love to have a look at Volkman and Walsh in the halves in one of the latter games as a taster - Volkman had some expected rookie errors tonight, but there's a real touch of class to him and I think he's going to turn into a fantastic player for us. Kid certainly doesn't shy away from contact.

Other than that - I don't think we change much, Pompey needs to put away the 2nd tackle miracle plays and just take the hard carry sometimes. We're a better team with Arthurs in the centres, I don't think there's a huge need for Aitken to move back there just yet, he's been absolutely fantastic in the second row for us.

Jazz looked every bit like Brandon Smith out there tonight as a small man playing prop. I'm a bit torn on the forwards because as Jazz has said, he's a better player off the bench - but he's been great as a starter recently all things consideredd. Addin Fonua-Blake off the bench was brilliant - likely only because he's recovering from covid, but I wouldn't mind seeing it happen again.

Just as a side note - I'd love to see Curran get the (c) at some stage. What an absolute champion of a player and a bloke.

Pene not impress you in his opening 16 minute stint? Pumped out 57m & 9 tackles at 100%. Surprised he didn't get a second run

This is the question, why is he only getting 16 mins?

 

[Lance155]

Pompey still needs to go and want to see Aitken there. Feel like we should blood a new prop, Bunty, Addin Fonua-Blake and Tohu Harris with them will allow limited minutes (like Pene). Someone mentioned Jazz actually playing 13 and not prop anyway...

Curren is awesome!! He seems to really love the club

 

[playdaball]

Manu of the players came over to thank the supporters including Shaun Johnson, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Montoya, Curran etc. there were about 7 guys who took their shirts off and had B U N T Y ! ! Painted on their stomachs , Bunty jumped the fenced and got a photo with them . I wonder who got a shot?
So many great memories

18th Man: R Walsh

By the sounds of it Walsh has a few personal issues going on. I think a break for a few weeks while he sorts his life out would do him some good.

Personal issues? Not COVID? If he’s fit he plays surely hopefully @ 6, great to see Shaun Johnson pumped, Volkman misses out.

1 of the players I want to see get an extension. He's signed till end of next year?

From what I've heard it doesn't sound great. That's all I will say on that.

Gees this team can’t catch a break, hope he’s ok

End of 2024

This is the question, why is he only getting 16 mins?

Bunty got 3 stints off the bench & Addin had 2 after starting on the pine. Jazz's HIA obviously affected the rotation but I think that it being Bunty's 100th meant he got the last 10 minutes ahead of Pene
