1. Tupou

Very tough to single out three players. They were all outstanding in our best performance since 2015.

3. SST - world class player
2. JWH - back to his best
1. Mitchell - devastating in attack

I'm with tommy for my 3,2,1's. Tauks is an absolute powerhouse. He seriously hasn't missed a beat since coming back. Power running but also has a good motor on him so we get quality and quantity.

One thing I noticed was our support play today was top notch. So many players pushing through the line in support.

Latrell looked beastly at times, robbo was spot on giving him a little spell. Latrell looks like he has a point to prove and show robbo he is ready for 1st grade every week.

Due to a combination of mothers day and my own sporting commitments I only saw the 1 hour replay that fox sports air on a Sunday night but from what I saw..

3 JWH - Looked to be very close to his old 2015 self. Why NZ continue to snuff him is beyond me
2 Latrell - Dynamite
1 SST - Looked great and from what you guys say I am under selling him here but I did watch the shortened version of the match

This was a complete performance and by far our best of the season. There wasn't a bad player and a lot of the other guys could have got points. I hope the Latrell rumours are unfounded because he could be anything.

3 points: Jared Warea-Hargreaves. 17 runs for 200 metres and 29 tackles. Ripped the Eels pack to shreds. Definetly set the platform for the backs.

2 points: Latrell Mitchell. Showed his spell out of first grade refreshed him. Our attack looked like dynamite with him on the left edge. Pace and power personified.

1 point: Sio Siua Taukeiaho. Have to agree with one description of Sio, made by Nick Walshaw in the Daily Telegraph - he "charged like the Commonwealth Bank.".

Honourable mentions to Daniel Tupou, Mitchell Pearce and Blake Ferguson.

What did our completion rate end up? I know it was 20/21 at half time which is so unlike us.

Just shows, control and hang onto the ball and we can play some cracking football.

Cheers Babyface, we should be aiming for a completion rate like that every week at bare minimum.
