If KPP can master that 1 arm offload he could become one hell of a player, very important skill to have to free your arm and find the space for an offload.

Its on his list. About three down after tackling.

I think he's good

You are, of course, entitled to that opinion.

To me it's like nails on a blackboard.

I hope Wilkin paid for that seat! 

Hopefully they’ll take him back to Greece with them

Just in passing I’m never quite sure why defenders in the line stick their foot out to grubber kicks . I know some coaches don’t like that 

I heard some analysis on this from the NRL last year.  Apparently the odds favour trying to stop the grubber going through the line rather than diffusing the kick behind the line which can be a try or set restart.  Coaches encourage players from trying to stop the grubber as often as possible.

Hall no try was ruled a forward pass out of DH.

Yeh looking back you’re correct , was a scrum

Ryan Hall looks like he’s running though Greek yogurt these days. He’s fooling no-one with that blonde hairdo.

Not for that try he wasn't.

[SydneyRoosters]

Stupid challenge

[DavidM]

Belinda getting the final at this rate

[Old Frightful]

Looks like the ref is enjoying herself.

Being able to offload is one thing, but often young players who can do so, do it at every opportunity and give away possession. Knowing when to hold on is just as crucial and I think KPP was right on that occasion.

Snead pom

Batchelor what a melon

[Dave T]

I think Batchelor has blown his audition for centre

[Live after death]

What a greedy b’stard 

[Chrispmartha]

Batchelor deserves dropping for that

[SydneyRoosters]

What is Batchelor doing, simple pass, simple try.

[JohnM]

Some good performances here. Sneyd,  Williams, KPP, Burgess, Ackers, Welsby,  Bateman...amongst others

[Dunbar]

What a beautiful pass from Welsby.  And murdered by Batchelor.

[DavidM]

He saw the fullback and still ran into him! I think that guy outside has got about 40 tries …

[bratman]

Pass it!

These games are always tough, but we've been professional and there's been no shortage of skill

Ryan just looked down, to make sure he wasn't still wearing a Roosters shirt.

[SydneyRoosters]

Ackers has been phenomenal, Surely deserves the 9, if not at least a bench spot.
