I know it’s early days but seeing two of our big signings plus RTS and Johnson up there is a great sign.

 

Even Isaac Luke getting points is a bonus

 

Luke being in the points is a big bonus. I actually think even if Simon was playing he’d be struggling for points right now instead of being our sole auto-pick.

 

What's most pleasing for me is that's 11 guys with points and it's only round 2, and the bottom of that pile is Afoa who's been magnificent.

21 players earning points by Round 9, speaks volumes

 

Last year, after 9 Rounds-

Tuivasa-Sheck 10.59
Mannering 9.73
Gavet 8.05
Johnson 4.65
Lillyman 3.65
Hoffman 3.28
Foran 3.18

Afoa 1.74
Maumalo 1.49
Fusitua 1.31

Lisone 0.27
Kata 0.22
Nicholl-Klokstad 0.11
Vete 0.06
Lolohea 0.05
Matulino 0.03

 

Or not.

 

there is a difference though. Clearly, more players in form and competing for points.

 

Different types of player for sure - 2017 had Mannering, Lillyman, Hoffman - solid, dependable (but not necessarily game-breaking) guys - at the top.

This year? Our entire spine, Fus - our best finisher - and Tohu, the best attacking forward we have. When those guys are consistently at the top, you know you're doing well.
