Didn’t see the game, but these comments on Fox NRL re: our newbies.
2. Sunia Turuva — 8.5
Pretty close to Penrith’s best on ground. Saved two tries with brilliant defensive plays in each half. Had a try ruled out in the 58th minute. Finished with 182 metres from 21 runs.
6. Jarome Luai — 7.5
Took control of the side early, then allowed Cleary to do his best work. Defended well, ran the ball well and took control once Cleary went off late, setting Martin up with a deft grubber. Could be donning the No.7 next week.
16. Royce Hunt — 6
Costly offload when his side were on the attack in the 50th minute. Got through some good work in just under half an hour. Struggled like the rest of his forwards.
