ESPN NRL expert Brett Kimmorley analyses another weekend of rugby league action, and explains what he discovered in round 18 of the NRL in his latest edition of Set of Six.Kieran Foran has been extremely brave at such a difficult timeMental health is an enormous social issue. Kieran Foran has been brave enough to stand up and quit the game to take time away for himself, despite many questioning his decision.Mental health can target and challenge anyone. Forans brave decision sends a clear message to everyone in society that if someone has problems then they need to seek help and shouldnt be afraid to share their feelings.Hopefully, Foran can deal with his difficult situation and ultimately come out of this as a stronger person.Parramatta should be praised for their resiliencyThe Parramatta Eels were unbelievable on Friday night. How were they able to win?After everything theyve been through, the Eels trailed 18-6 and were reduced to just 15 men due to concussion and injury, but were courageous and rallied to beat the Sydney Roosters who had everything to play for.Coach Brad Arthur should be congratulated for their gritty attitude. They have a wonderful culture, theyre courageous and gutsy.Parramatta must be given credit for their ability to keep fighting despite all of their off-field dramas. Mathematically, theyre still a chance of finals football but next week is a big test for them against the Penrith Panthers.The Cronulla Sharks make it 13 in a rowI honestly thought the streak was going to come to an end against the Penrith Panthers due to a number of their Origin stars, such as Paul Gallen, Jack Bird, Wade Graham, Andrew Fifita and James Maloney, unavailable.However, the players who lined up in their place stepped up in a big way. Watching the Sharks beat the Panthers, it seemed like they didnt even have any of their representative players missing from the side.Theyve got plenty of depth and a lot of confidence at the moment. Theyve had a great run with injuries this season, and touch wood they dont suffer any, but if they do, they have the capability to slot someone in and not miss a beat to do the required job.Its a significant accomplishment for the club and I believe they have the best roster in the competition. Theyve really managed the salary cap well, and the next 18-24 months are really important they are to sustain a long run with this roster of players.The Bulldogs have the biggest forward pack in the NRLThe Canterbury Bulldogs are massive. Their forward pack is the biggest and most physical forward pack in the competition and they also have a high-skill level. Its unbelievable how they play. They dont play with the traditional dynamic halves.They have Sam Kasiano who is the biggest halfback in the competition. Kasiano comes off the bench when players are tiring and creates havoc, even though he weighs 120 kilograms.They were missing Josh Jackson and David Klemmer on Saturday night due to Origin duties and still fielded a huge forward pack consisting of James Graham, Greg Eastwood, Aiden Tolman, Tony Williams and Kasiano.The Bulldogs will go close to winning the premiership this season and their coach Des Hasler who knows how to win.Wests Tigers cant afford inconsistent effortsWests Tigers were very good for 50 minutes against an excellent football side in the Canterbury Bulldogs. The Wests Tigers have plenty of football left in them for the rest of the season but you cant afford to make mistakes at critical times, especially against the better sides.Wests Tigers were possibly better than they expected to be and they couldve won the game but theyll rue the costly errors that prevented them from extending their lead. Itll be a lesson for them against the top sides that you need to minimalise mistakes to keep yourself in the game.Coached by Des Hasler, the Bulldogs have played finals football for the last few years so they know how to manage the pressure, and in the end, they were too good and got the job done.Next generation ushered in for Wests TigersIt was a both a thrill and a great moment of pride for me when Jacob Liddle made his NRL debut for Wests Tigers on Saturday. I coached the Wests Tigers Under 20s Holden Cup side last year and its really special to see some of the kids youve coached make their debut.A number of players I coached, like Te Maire Martin along with Liddle, have made their first-grade debuts this season.Liddle appears to be the player to take over from hooker Robbie Farah in the near future. He did a wonderful job at the club last year and they are grooming him for when Farah departs.For me, its nice to see some of these kids youve coached start to achieve some of their dreams.
