After completely not feeling like giving a report yesterday, here goes.
1. Joel Reddy. Solid but not spectacular. Considering his experience, quite impressive display again. Looks the goods.
2. Matt Gruzka. Scored a good try. Solid.
3. Ben Smith. Star of the future. Should be in First grade. Has penetration, strength, and know the way to the line. Scored 3 tries.
4. Ashley Graham. (Did not play). Wise Kativerata played centre. Waste of space. Did nothing.
5. Brett Anderson. Another future star. Scored a good try. Shows good speed.
6. Feleti Mateo. Tried very hard. Sometimes too hard. Probably five-eight is not his best position. More a lock. Star of the future for sure.
7. Michael Witt. Led the side around the paddock. Solid. Scored a try. Kicked well. Probably a couple more weeks in the PL for him.
8. Josh Cordoba. Good young prop. Very good display. Made plenty of ground up the middle. Star of the future
9. Shane Muspratt. Disappointing. After i rated him very highly earlier in the year, he disappointed in FG, and now looks to be struggling in PL. Might be carrying an injury.
10. Mal Kaufusi. Average game. Was capable of doing much more against a quite weak North Sydney pack. Didnt look interested. When he was, went forward. Rest of the time, did nothing. Too many errors
11. Chris Muckert. I was really pleased we signed him. Now i am not. Overweight and lazy.
12. Fred Petersen. Solid. Not spectacular. Hit the line hard, but didnt bust it. Defended solidly.
13. Lee Hopkins. Great game. 2 good solo tries, 1 from a brilliant 40 metre run. Should be re-signed immediately, and promoted to FG. Should be the captain. Has a lot of heart.
As can be seen from this assessment, which is purely my opinion, outside of Lee Hopkins, none of the senior players in the PL are worth a pinch of shit. It is the young up and coming stars that are shining, as are the young blokes in the Flegg.
As for the Flegg, Tim Smith and Jack Afamangsa are going to be first graders in the next 2 years. At what club, who knows.
