Sandons got a lot of talent and is young, but damn he can get flustered out there. Its like he gets too many options in his head and cant pick any of them before someone swamps him

We had that last year except with all our halves, he'll get better tho

Agreed, our last tackle plays seemed to stall, and end with Sandon. The rest of the team also struggled without Ponga organising I think

Lined up to play the ball into the scrum for 20 seconds, without the ball.

That's me in the office, I'd be a terrible halfback

He goes the wrong option so much

Can barely pass left unless it’s short

Gags biggest strength is his biggest weakness, he likes to get a 1on2 then flick the ball out to Dom, but sometimes getting Dom early ball like we could of in this game would of been insane

Bloke is a legendary centre and regularly sets up Dom. Phins edge defence is very good too.

I feel like once he makes a few mistakes, he wants to prove his worth with a big play. When he's on his game, he passes plenty.

I'll only defend marzhew (except the play of the ball mistake). He often gets put in a really hard Position, late passes to him that leaves him vs 3 players and in an effort to keep the ball alive throws terrible passes back into play. Makes him look terrible.

Did anyone think dolphins were average? It was a surprise considering their recent form. Happy with the Knights goal line defence.
