Kelly had some really nice runs of play but didn't dominate the game. Sandow was much stronger for Wenty comparatively.
Wenty had something of makeshift spine today with Justin Hunt playing 5/8 then fullback and Evander Cummins fullback then wing.
Some of the young guys held their heads high in a sloppy team showing.
Ualesi clocked in another great game. He spent some time at prop and held his own against a good Penrith front row. Can't ask more from this kid and he has shown that he is productive on the edges and in the middle.
Santi overcame a nasty high shot to piece together a great all-round game. He was typically courageous in defence but he also had a good game in attack. I would love to see him bulk up just a bit more but his on field attitude is top notch.
Junior Paulo was dominant at prop. The only other bookend to come close to him today was Reagan Campbell-Gillard for Penrith, who had an awesome second half. There were a couple of errors from the mountain-that-strides today but he made massive inroads in attack and showed some good hustle in defence.
Bureta Faraimo did some great things today. He really upped his involvement both in the ruck and on the edge and was solid under the high ball. Stagger made a valid point that he takes some time to wind up for a run so if the club can improve his ~5m acceleration he will be at a much better player.
Finally, Ryan Morgan did well on the right edge. He had limited opportunities to show his class but continues to show that he is a cut above the NSW Cup. He won't unseat Tonga or Hopaote as it is but will be come it at the drop of a pin if either are injured or earn representative selection.
