I'm really excited about Teddy. Never thought he was that quick, saved a try and with a couple seasons injury free he will be a real game breaker.

Very impressed with Tedesco he looks bigger and faster than ever.

Not so impressed with Cherrington and Rowe. Too many small young players coming up from third grade straight to the top grade without serving their apprenticeships.
We would have been better taking more experienced players like Luani and Lulia or Naiyaravoro.

Same problem we always had.... we're missing to many tackles. Would love to see the stats but i wouldnt be surprised if our missed tackles are as bad as Canberras. With the ball we look good, especially the damn pace of Tedesco. Patterson looked good with his runs and his offloading was great. Taupaus runs were hard and strong. But we are still doing the whole grabbing instead of tackling or, even worse, 4 players on a guy and he still manages an offload.

Pattersn, Tapau and Gavet looked good. Aggressive those last two and Patterson with a nice running game.
Patterson a bigger better Fulton.

Improve discipline and cut errors and tigers could beat anyone. Trouble is that's been the same problem for a few years now.

Rowe, cherrington and Moses are all turnstiles. Not really their fault as they probably weigh 75kgs between them. One or two might have been ok, 3 in the team is dyabolical, now hoeter is replacing sirro who wouldn't be much bigger then any of them.

Donut know why Moses is playing on the wing, he can spark something out of nothing, should be moved infield in attack.

Apprenticeships?? It's the f**ken 9's. Who cares about blooding young small guys. That's what the comp is about. I'm more concerned about injuries and Austin's defence. On a positive teddy looks sharp gavet Taupau and Patterson look like they'll fit in and pats back

Moses, Tedesco, Gravat & Patterson to me have all been impressive. I still fail to see why Moses isn't the first option at 6 with Brooks at 7. Yes he is young and isn't big but he looks good. Hodgo went fine for us and was never big.

I really thought Patty was a dud buy with Koro missing out on game time however Koro needs some work on his defence and Patty looks like he will be really good on the wing.

I know the 9s is a different game, but worrying signs are still evident to me.

Poor ball security, poor discipline ( they surely would be the most penalised team at the tournament), lots of shirt grabbing and powder puff defence

They were a f**king embarrassment, nothing changes at this club ! Stupid f**king team picked, cant tackle, cant hold the ball , cant read a game , give away a million penalties and show no pride or f**king heart what so ever. Maybe the fastest player in the game in Kori touched the ball maybe 6 times in the tournament , what a waste and lack of strategy shown from our coaching and ball players :(
Only nines you may say but its still a game you represent yourself And you club.

I'm not focussing on results, but on player development.

And Bodene Thompson has regressed immensely. He should be lucky to get a bench spot in nsw cup.

Gavet & Taupau run hard & have good agility too which is great.

Austin has been average, reminds me of Benji last year, everything is off the cuff & everyone around him is standing around unprepared.

Farah has been quiet.

Tedesco has been our best, he's confident, bigger & f**k me he's got some toe!
Sironen has got bigger but hasn't lost his agility, he's set for a big year.

I think some of you dudes are reading too much into the form of certain players in a "mickey mouse" 9s tournament.

Fmd !!! Why replace a winger with a forward , could have used Cory Brown before BMM . I thought Potter said they are going over there to try win :( Honestly we have plodders but maybe the thought process is to go over them and not around them ?

Sorry MR Potter , ive just been informed that this train crash was Payten's baby !
