Got a chance to watch most of the Cutters game on telly (wish it was on every week!), some comments:
- None of the players played that well that they would be automatic inclusions in 1st grade, tonnes of mistakes that would have us pulling our hair out, but individually:
- Drinkwater: Was trying really hard (obviously a spot pending for him), he made a lot of mistakes, but atleast he was trying, running the ball, he just needs more time to get some combinations and get a bit smarter with his choices, main problem is that he damaged his neck being held up over the line and went off to hospital... dang.
- Quinlan: Wasted on the wing, didnt see enough ball, but when he did he stood out as having more class than the other players, just looked clever and smarter in his choices, he needs to be at fullback or halves though.
- Vidot: Same old Vidot, lots of mistakes in him, good in patches
- Lett: Had a couple of good plays late, but damn he was making some terrible decisions, tonnes of errors, he was captain, and his head was just not screwed on.
- Green: Good in patches, but way too many mistakes
- Vaivai: Big strong and fast, mistakes but an interesting prospect if he could be moulded, and if he can defend, I coudlnt really tell since we pretty much leaked points at every occasion.
- Hickey: Big lump of a forward, think hes played 1st grade before for Dogs? Potentially very interesting player, but not sure hed have the fitness for 1st grade, certainly not sure id be interested in dropping any of our current forwards anyway.
Overall the Cutters got fairly soundly beaten, mostly beat themselves with errors, couldnt convert points.
