That's an interesting point you make. A father on the one hand quite rightly asking his son "How's things going, mate?" or telling his son "I think you need to work on..." but on the other hand the coach of an NRL club asking his son, who's playing for a rival of his father's - and older brother's - team "How's life at the Wahs, mate?" I trust them to be professional enough to know where the line is ie talk about what all three of them know and can see on TV so it's hardly Insider Information but nothing more than that but it must be difficult at times.

Just going to focus on the positives as it is only a preseason game. Always expected us to look clunky and we were never going show our hand before Vegas.
Sam Healey - How the fuck did the Sharks let this guys go? Guy is talented and hopefully features in our 17.
Luke Metcalf - Thought he played well. Needs to stay injury free and I can see him getting much better at 7.
Demitric Vaimauga - Always been my favourite Junior coming through. Looks way fitter and I suspect he will play a lot in the 17 this year.
Mitch Barnett - Our best forward. I see him as far more important to us than Fish.
Erin Clark - Real effort player. Loved that tackle that dislodged the ball. Never going to be Tohu but see him as an upgrade on Jazz.
Bunty Afoa- If you check my posts you can tell I am not a fan of Bunty. He did play well though. Mind you last preseason he played well then got back to his bad habits. Would be a real asset if he can just play at this level week in week out.
Others I thought were pretty good were Ali, Taine and CNK.

Thoughts on Capewell Marata TMM JFH Clark ??
If Ivan wants to give coaching advice to his son or
Nathan wants to give brotherly advice to Jett I’m all for it…
Whatever it takes to get better … they know Jett’s character better than anyone

Capewell had a few errors in him but the guy will come back better. Marata wasn't as bad as people thought. Would be nice if Webster defines a role for him. Looked like he played Centre there for awhile. TMM is interesting. Webster could have told him to take a backseat this game. No need to show everyone what has been practiced in the preseason. I also would I like to see what would have happen if Leka was receiving those short balls on the left instead of Capewell. JFH played well. The 1% were there especially pressuring the kicker. We have been bad at that usually. Clark I already mentioned.
Really interested in trial game II to the point there are some opportunities to grab a spot for round 1 and also how good the Cup side could be this season.
Who will accompany LM in the halves?
2nd Row - neither of the starters were at their best and I thought this shone through.
How do you fit TT into the backline and keep it balanced?
My hot take ….. RTS to be top meter eater this season.

Fair enough this season, as they're hardly likely to face him, but going forward...
I'm sure Jett will earn more Dally Ms at the Wahs than his talentless bum big bro, but I don't want him undermined by listening to Daddy and Big Bro to ruin ever so accidentally things for the Wahs.
For sure but look how many turnovers already for both teams running their 2nd stringers.
Saw it last night with our young ones as well, so eager to go hard ball security goes out the window.
keen to see the Mclean boys on the wings tho

Nah can’t see that happening
Unless we played them in the final or something even then I reckon secretly Ivan would sacrifice a Penrith title to let his youngest lead us to a maiden premiership. This is the sort of stuff one can only dream about. Jett ain’t the one. Not yet anyway
Tbh id rather he listen to daddy and big bro than half the lower grade coaches we have hereFair enough this season, as they're hardly likely to face him, but going forward...

Or u scared he might spill the beans on our play for territory, D hard, red zone attack either hitting the 2nd rower short or out the back gameplan?......shit....now ive done it
Coz he has zero punch through the line, less than Bunty so why bother, it wouldn't work.

but how can you play wing and have no punch / acceleration... for a big man i think he has decent footwork and balance... good enough for wing, surely good enough for Prop

Tony Iro and Adam Blair find this comment offence
TMM will not be here next year in my opinion! Tuaupiki and CNK should be our 1 and 6

He can't dent the line from wing, how is he going to do it against a line that's set?
Other than Tusupiki at 1, Ur dreaming.
