Just back from the game
Immediate thoughts:
Lacked anything up front with Cayless and Cordoba starting, game turned when Tim mannah came on and then when Fui replaced Cordoba who was basically dreadful.
Cayless played at the same level as O'Meley which to be honest meant he tried hard.
This is how I saw the game:-
Burt- ok game, scored a good try and made no real mistakes
Grothe- did drop the ball from a high kick , whih led to a try but in possession was good.
Smith - Needs more game time, pretty solid
Tautai - Nothing flash, solid
Inu - Looked good when came to centre and payed outisde Hayne, scored a good try
Hayne - shared best player on field honours with Kris Keating, scored a try reminiscent of Kenny
K Keating - best on field, shame in a sense that he has to give way to Finch
Oake - very willing, did drop the ball a few times
Hauraki - Solid not prominent
Hindmarsh - typical, will never let you down
Cayless - disappointing , continues to try hard, lacks something at the moment
M Keating - would be happy with his game, does go too often when close to the line
Cordoba - very,very disappointing, actually dreadful
Mannah - shining light, started to turn the tide when he came on
Fui Fui - See Mannah
Galuvao - best game for the Eels, suggest he likes the coach
Wright - made Josh look second rate, very promosing display
Robson - not on for long
Lowrie - tried hard , but lacks first grade technique, almost turned the game the wrong way when he hit the only Roosters player outisde him on the chest, who ran 50 metres to put Rortes back in game. Then make 30 metre break and drops the ball, oh dear
Reddy - replaced Smith and nothing special in limited time
Neither side will threaten top 4 sides on this display, we have more to work with as the young players stood up
