Watched the whole game, here's my assessment -
- Lawrie was great backing up from last nights game. Tough nut. Just hits the line hard.
- Robson is going to be a great player for us, very dynamic out of dummy half. Can see him making plenty of Cook-esque line-breaks.
- Sele is a first grader, plain and simple. Should be in the side somewhere. Great in defence and offers a point of difference in attack with his passing game. Just needs to lose the errors in his game.
- Host was very solid, he just churns out metres on that edge. Such a shame for him that our entire back-row is NSW quality.
- Leilua had a pretty good hit out but still has those lapses in concentration. Needs to drop the flair sometimes and just remember how big he is.
- I like Nicholls' style, he will be a handy back-up half to Hunt over Origin. Very level head.
- Jai Field is a myth, forget about him every playing first grade for us.
- Jordan Pereira keeps impressing me, very strong ball-runner, solid in the air, with Lomax out he's my front-runner to replace Nighty if it's not Mann.
- Matheson Johns is good player, I like what he offers at centre. Seems to be a real Aitken-like style of player.
- Steven Marsters is going to be a fantastic player for us in the future. He's only 18 and already looks right at home playing against men. I see his future at centre with his strength, footwork and passing ability. Hopefully he follows in the footsteps of his brother at Wests!
