How did Evans go?

Did anyone watch Santi play for the Tigers NYC today?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Evans didn't play, and according to the stats Santi had a blinder.

I watched it, Santi was amazing and didn't stop. Very good player.

 

[Stagger eel]

Both peats and hunt having big games for norths... Hunt has scored a double so far

 

[Forty20]

Evans is injury prone and Santi is a smidgen small for a backrower. Those are the major concerns I have for each of them but beyond that they are excellent signings and the club can potentially extract great value from them.

If hunt can defuse bombs and mark his opposite winger, than I'm content.

I saw a glimpse of the game yesterday and i couldn't see him. No wonder lol.

6ft 95kgs, yes he needs to put on a few kgs but he is big enough if good enough. Shoujd have no problems hitting 100 kg with his height just needs time

Same here, couldn't work why they never gave it to their halfback. Maybe I had to many beers

Watched Corey Norman in his last QLD cup match for Wynnam-Manly (sp). The Regular 5/8 was injured, so he played 6 in the 1 jumper.

Firstly, Ipswich had 70% possession all match, so it was not a good game to gauge potential. On the upside:-

• he's a talker and was shouting at his forwards all game
• he has a long left foot which found the corners more than players
• he has very good footwork in traffic
• throws a good cut out pass
• is not shy in D
• scored a good solo try, by talking the D on from 15m out and used footwork to get over

The QLD commentators were hard on him and wanted him to touch the ball a few times a set, however they were mostly coming out of their their own end and was hard for anyone to look good when his team was getting pumped.

Good to hear. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Thanks Gronk. I reckon Norman will be tops next year. I wonder if he can play middle half?

Doesn't that make it hard for him to run?

 

[jk13]

wynnum's regular 5/8 didnt play that game, i think corey had been playing fullback but switched once the regular pulled out. he definitely had some glimpses of skill and his defence is solid. I think the commentators ragged on him cause it just seemed he was trying to fit in with the game plan instead of taking the game by the scruff of the neck, which is also difficult when combinations haven't been developed. also ipswich turned in a truely dominant performance. I hope everyone gives norman time as i think he looks the goods and the way he's been treated will surely give him the attitude to want to suceed with us.

 

[oldmancraigy]

Nah - he's adapted to it

That's a sweet deal.

All the joints I go to make you pay up front.

Lol!

It would be the worst having to pay for your drinks the day after, then you would know exactly how much cash you pissed up the wall.
