## Resource

Parramatta's performance has us asking serious questions about the standards being set under Jason Ryles. We break down Kelma Tuilagi's nightmare opening stint—two drops, a penalty and a missed assignment leading to a try—and whether leaving him on the field sent the wrong message. We also dissect Mitchell Moses' poor outing and what it says about where the Eels are right now. Elsewhere, we issue an apology to Brian Kelly after a huge performance, praise the Broncos' much-improved effort, and break down an instant classic between the Dolphins and Warriors that may have been the game of the year, with both sides proving they're genuine premiership contenders. We also cover Penrith's sluggish start, Jeremiah Nanai's starring display, the concern surrounding Luke Brooks' suspected ACL injury, and ask whether the Melbourne Storm are done for 2026. Plus, we discuss Ricky Stuart's handling of Tamale after hooking him early before showing faith later in the game, and finish with a look at Laurie "Loz" Daley's NSW Blues selections—which players justified their spot, and which selection calls are looking harder to defend?
