After watching the replay, here's my full report,
Mitchell: Was obviously somewhat limited in attack due to the weather but even then, was still brilliant. An incredible touch early on in the lead up to Cody's try, his quick hands to AJ were just freakish! It was so quick, it was hard to see on the replay! Once agains, we saw a great attitude from him as he continued to be heavily involved as the match wore on, even doing the tough stuff and taking some really strong hit ups coming out of our own end. I think his sin-binning was BS, barely even touched Cherry-Evans so he shouldn't feel bad about that. Then came back on the field and scored a scrappy, yet freakish try. Was solid with the goal kicking once Reyno went off and set up our final try with a barnstorming run where he looked nearly unstoppable and then laid on some more quick hands to put AJ over a few plays later. Even in the wet, it was one hell of a performance from Trell.
Johnston: Wasn't bad, a pretty solid night. He looked quite strong on his kick returns and other hit ups as he managed to beat the first defender a few times. Was obviously on the end of some more beautiful backline shifts on our left and he did really well to set up Cody for our first try, held the pass brilliantly. Filled in well for Latrell in that ten minute period while he was off too. The only real negative of his game was the one error he made. That cost us in the end as the set after, Taupau scored.
Gagai: A huge performance from Gags. In those types of condiditons, you need the backs to forget about the flashy stuff and just get in there and help their forwards, that's exactly what Dane did. Hit ups all night long, seemed to never stop. They were all really strong runs too as not once do I remember him being driven back or dominated in a tackle. Was particularly impressive when he was forced to shift to the right wing as the hard work continued. He was save there too, defusing every kick that came his way. A reaaly strong game from Gags.
Graham: Little bit of a mixed game from Cammy if I am to be critical. Let me start by saying the defensive side of his game was outstanding last night. Nothing got past him, he chopped down everything that came his way through some great defensive decisions. It was a big improvement on last week. However, his running game left a bit to be desired for me. yes, he got through a lot of work which was good but I thought a lot of his runs seemed to lack that 'zip.' They seemed just a bit casual I reckon which lead to him getting smashed a few times. Took a really casual run in the second half, got rattled and spilled it which put us under pressure so we need better than that there. Also made that error off a pretty catchable kick off. Hopefully he works on these areas and comes out strong next week.
Paulo: Going to be harsh here but I'm not impressed. Only had a few hit ups which is not good enough when the forwards need more help in that weather. And then there was him under the high ball, don't even get me started there. Wanted no piece of any of the bombs that came his way as he positioned himself poorly and then let it bounce TWICE at different times throughout the game, the first situation ended with him knocking on as he scrambled to recover and the other could have ended very badly. To not even try to catch a bomb is inexcusable in the NRL. Looks like he won't play next week due to his head knocks but even if he was fit, I'd bring mansour back in.
Walker: A really good, measured game from Cody. The conditions obviously didn't suit him at all and I think he realised that so pulled it in a bit. Even then, we still had a decent night. Didn't put in a lot of kicks but the kicks he did have were all class. In addition, his defence was outstanding. Had a bit of a battle going there with DCE and Cosy was up in his face almost everytime which put Cherry-Evans off his game, it was great. Cody wasn't super involved in the attack but the touches he did have were impressive. Some great work to get the movement going for his try and then backed up with beautiful support play to collect AJ's pass and slide over. Then, had a hand in AJ's try later on. Perhaps he could have been a little more dominant after Reyno had to go off but I can't criticise him too much.
Reynolds: Speaking of which, despite being concussed in the opening minutes of the second half, Cody's halves partner was having a stormer of a game. Those conditions are made for Reyno and he showed us why. He had the ball on an absolute string for much of that first half as he put in some beautiful tactical kicks and terrorised Dylan Walker at the back with his towering bombs. What's more, there was that beautiful grubber mid-way through the second half that was meant for Cookie but he had the presence of mind to follow it through after the deflection and as a result, scored his first try of 2021. But wait, there's more!! That 40/20 he kicked just before halftime was incredible! Such a narrow channel to work in and he nailed it, there was nothing their fullback could do but just watch it bounce over the sideline, fantastic stuff from Reyno. A real shame he went off and failed his HIA as he would have been close to man of the match I reckon.
