I know it’s only a cup game, but barring a few good 20-30 min spells and a couple of decent halves we’ve been turgid this season. In fact, take away Jan and early Feb and it’s been over a year of it.

The late pens in the last 8 mins of games have accounted for nearly a third of our points this season. Would we have broken the opp down without those spot kicks in the final 10 mins? The table would be a worry without them, never mind these performances.

Let’s just hope we’ve rode some luck, and we actually now take some control. We’ll have a better idea at Christmas which way it’s all likely to go
Nauseating Parkinsons style(used loosely) on a par with Grayson. Couldn't and wouldnt pay to watch a PP side
 
I wonder if him or Hume would be comfortable playing on the right side?

Its good competition for places. This system is so dependent on the wing backs offering some width and at least now we have decent cover for Hume. Good option too, Hume has games where his end product isn't there and this will give us something other than just pace down that left side.
