I watched it on the PNG kumuls facebook page, looks like the game was on someones tv and they recorded the game from there onto there phone and uploaded it lol. As you can imagine, it wasnt great quality, but it was watchable and no buffering atall. Its still on there now, first and second halfs are on seperate links on there page.

I agree, Oledzki wouldn't have played a game in at least 6-8 weeks and in that heat & humidity I thought he was really strong. Hard to believe he is still only 19.
What a great experience for him and the team.
Walker made a few errors and looked a bit rusty but he'll be fine, he's class imo.

People forget how young Oledski and Walker are. We've 2 exceptional talents there along with a few others.

Things looked bleak last season but they aren't as bleak as people think.

A team is only as good as it’s weakest links, and we’ve been carrying too many. Injuries were also a major part of how bad this year was.
If we have half the starting first team injured again in 2019 we’ll struggle again.
If we don’t get Merrin, I really hope we still manage the +1 or 2 in the pack before season starts. Hope to see more of Holroyd, Trout and maybe Johnson next year.

If most teams lose half the starting line up they would struggle.

Don't see much in Trout if I am honest, he needs to improve a lot to be anywhere near 1st team for me.

I agree, but I still think our biggest signing is Furner, I reckon some underperforming players could get a new lease of life under him. Good coaching and confidence is a big factor.

Ive been reading elsewhere that Merrin feels like he's being pushed into signing for Leeds . Hope this isnt true ,but I remembef Lee Crooks signing for us when his heart wasnt in it

Now Bennett is officially taking over at Souths next season I can see Merrin going there anyway. Penrith are pushing him out apparently but not necessarily to Super League.

Can't really understand us chasing him and offering him a huge deal to be honest. It's strong running back rowers we badly need. Not sure what role Merrin would fill.

Yes I rememeber the look of upset on Crooks face when he was paraded in press conference. He looked devastated to be leaving Hull. That said I thought he was cracking player during his time at Leeds.

We need committed players, especially in the pack. If he doesn't want to come we should be looking elsewhere or it's just another Segeyaro / Eastwood mess
