WTFJack Debelin played most of the game and Nene Macdonald was on the bench but didn't run on!
Patrick Herbert looked sharp, could be a handy back up!

Nene didn't run on? Well in that case he must have walked on!! I was watching the game from the side opposite the clubhouse with a great view of Nene playing all 30 minutes of the first half on the left wing. Got bundled into touch once, did very well to stay in field to score in the corner and then with a beautiful in and away beat his man and kicked in-field for Adam Clune to dive over. This led to a call of "Well done, Wendell" which brought a smile to Nene's face. He has certainly got Wendell's size. I hope he can play more like Dell this season.
Don't know why Jack De Belin was playing in Reserves but it was great to watch his tackling technique at close quarters. I am pretty sure he played the whole 60 minutes and as you would expect was highly involved.
As please helpchoking noted Patrick Herbert gave an eye-catching performance, with some really good footwork and tremendous offloads. Seemed much sharper than the games I saw him play in NSW Cup last year. The centres in first grade must be expected to do well if he is left in Reserves.
Got to say this team looked well organised and surprisingly sharp for their first hit-out. Really liked Joe Lovodua at 9. Good service and very quick off the mark. Also some good touches from Tristan Sailor who moved to 5/8 in the 2nd half.
I could not help thinking that we can expect much better times ahead in the next few years compared to the post-Bennett era. So much young talent on display tonight and some of these guys will be battling for minutes in Reserves when the NRL team is whittled down to 17 rather than tomorrow's 24. Just need Mary to pick the best team on form each week and not detract from the available talent in the club.
Thanks for that summary. Im a bit concerned as to why De Belin and McDonald are playing reserve grade and not playing today. Hopefully there is a good reason for itNene didn't run on?

The only 2 automatic picks in 1st grade, the others can fight out for the remaining 15 spotsThanks for that summary. Im a bit concerned as to why De Belin and McDonald are playing reserve grade and not playing today. Hopefully there is a good reason for it

Haha, I was the on other side of the field and only noticed Nene on the bench in the second half. I'll head off to specsavers today
I agree with your summary though, Lovodua looks like developing into a handy player and overall they did look pretty sharp for a first hit out.
Yep JF 230pm shell harbour and ISP 430pmApparently, Reserve grade and JF are having a trial game today.
Anyone heard anything about it?
If so, I imagine this is where we'll see those who didn't get a start in the CS, Kerr, Robson, Nicholls.
