Just finished re watching the game, you can take it in much more
Few interesting standouts
If we take away that first 15 minutes, which Fitz will be all over them about anyway
Just game 1
Kennedy - Defence great, but also cleanup in goal, he is now reading where the ball will go, also the 4th tackle hit ups, and there 1 was play which I can see paying dividends, he goes to hit it up quick offload to Hazelton, if Hazelton gets through line at any time Kennedy there and gone.
Talakai - already been discussed.
Mulitalo/Katoa - They made right decisions each time
Ramien - He shut RTS down, he can do this each week, next week he does it to Crichton.
Trindall - Could have been missed twice he cleaned up in goal chased back to ground the ball, no way would Moyza have done that, if he doesn't do it possible try.
Trindall/Nicho - I am seeing there bombs it must be a Fitz call getting them to land within 10 of sideline, do that the opposition will burn a few tackles to get away from it, there is going to be days when this goes out on the full.
Kaufisi/Hunt - Not sure if they are starters, Kaufisi was a bench player at Eels and it worked for him, Hunt just needs to run the ball, and not even worry about passing.
Wilton/Nikora - rang strongly and tackled well
McInness/Williams - There strength leg speed after a quick play the ball they make 10 straight up the guts
Hazelton - He added a difference straight up the middle
Rudolf - I liked the change made here, he is getting to ground faster, when he would get pushed back in years past he would get too upright running into defence he would lose ground slow play the ball, this way on stomach up and away
Finucane - Very limited minutes he looks like he is behind in speed, does not look fit, I just hope the game has not past him by this quick
The other takle was the Warriors threw at lot us in attack, they came at us and we held strong.
AFB will be an asset next year
