3 - Clark - Another massive effort
2 - Egan - thought his communication with Metcalf in the red zone was much better this week
1 - Ford - much more effective in the middle if he comes off the bench
HMs Metcalf - almost gave him a point, but had to go Ford for the forum memes
Managed the team well. Kinda annoying that he rushed out of the line to let in Newcastle's second try, though. Inclined to give him a pass on that last conversion miss, seeing as he'd just been down with cramp, though he probably should've given that one to Tuaupiki
Capewell - thought he was really strong - maybe Webby being willing to start Leka has lit a fire under him a bit
Leka - was only on the field for about 40 minutes as opposed to 70 last week but a threat every time he touched the ball and muscled up defensively, too
Other thoughts:
Barnett - typically strong effort
CNK - as above
Vaumaga - bends the line with almost every carry
Laban - nice to see him get more minutes this week, thought he was very strong defensively
Tuaupiki - thought he did pretty well marking up on Marzhew
Pompey - thought he was about to stuff up that first try when he basically stopped after catching the ball and waited for the defender to get closer rather than, y'know, going head down for the line - EDIT - just watched that try again, maybe i was being a bit harsh on him
Niukore - maybe that sin-bin affected him but he just doesn't look that threatening in the middle
Ali and Berry - Ali's not getting the ball he was on the other side, Berry still getting his FG legs back but hustling. Would be interesting to see how the team went with them swapped around
