Coach's Comment - Leon Latulipe

We'll be looking to repeat the efforts of our last 20 minutes against Parramatta.

We have a new addition to the squad in Jordan Miller from Wests SG Ball and he'll some additional quality for us in the middle this week.

I've been happy with what we have been offering week to week at training, and we've seen that reflected in our results over the past two weeks.
