Reflecting on the team last night
1. Robinson, OK game , is an NRL player, wing would be his best position but serviceable at fullback
2. Furaimo, what a back upshould be, not prototype size but gives 100% , and does a job
3. Toutai, last night made metres with carries, tackled well, again A decent back up player
4. Morgan, ordinary again, has not made any progress in 3 years, nothing more than reserve grader, outplayed by Toutai
5 Radrada , starved of opportunities, ran hard and still has some flaws in defence as he learns game,, best back in the team
6. Sef Paulu, one word - awful, offers nothing in attack , falls off tackles, still can't see why he is the darling of commentators, worse player in the game. Ahead of even Lussick
7. Here we go, for a 7, ⎌can't pass, can't read a game, has decent long kicking game and can spiral bomb. No idea how to short kick or lead the team, back up at best - really not even that
8. Mannah, having his best spell for years, downside is Refs don't take him seriously
9. Peats, Coming back to form, should get his pace back in the off season
10. Junior Paulo, a talent that is getting better. Best prop on the field by a long way
11. Manu Ma'u, can't fault his work rate, needs to add a step at the line, but terrific worker
12. Tepai, another good game, his best is yet to come, will benefit from off season surgery and rest, a real prospect
13. Gower, obviously paying busted. Give him credit for not shirking anything, ideal bench player, would not start if everyone fit
14 Lussick, just not interested and a powder puff for his size, why did he pay more minutes than Alvaro, that's the mystery. Glad to see back of him
15. Pauli, starting to emerge as a playe, big potential, needs more fitness but definitely NRL player
16 DeGois, created all the line speed and adds starch to defence, not sue he ills be in the 17 if everyone was fit, but does his job
17 Alvaro, at last showed what he can do, very surprised that he did not play longer, ideal back up who could mature into a solid prop
How disappointing was last night, can't recall a pair of halves achieve so little when the forwards basically led th way. Have memories of hospital passes, missed tackles, poor options, awful short kicking game which describes how,little they add to the team, if Sezer had played for Parra, would have won by at least 30
In summary, can't win with halves like that. They are not back up level and Morgan was not much better. Who would be a Coach when the side that took Manly apart in the first game was never seen again, if BA had any hair, he would have torn it out by now
