1. Walker's passion. He's still a work-in-progress at the 5/8 position, but he looked dangerous nearly every time he ran, and that try and celebration was priceless.
2. The team's fighting qualities. We came up short, but god I was proud of the way we fought back and gave it our all up until the 80th minute.
3. Myles's all-round game. I've been critical of him prior to last night, but I saw some inspirational tackles and hit-ups last night to make me confident that he will have a good season ahead.
4. Vave's energy. Maybe not the most talented forward out there, but you've got to love the conviction in his ball carries.
Dislikes:
1. The start. What's going on there, this one is again at the feet of TB.
2. The kicking game. Maybe the worst I've seen in 20 or so years of attending rugby league games. Even a half-competent kicking game would have won us the cash last night. Was any training done on that during the week? It would appear not.
3. Taupau's fade-outs. Seems to go missing for periods of time. What do we need to do to get him playing and the same focus and energy as he did against his former team in Rnd 2?
4. Lyon's involvement. Last night was probably the saddest I've felt watching the great man go around. Gets brought down now so quickly - previously he could stay upright for longer, fend and then offload. Didn't really look too much for the ball last night.
5. Taufua's speed. Seems to have lost a step - is he carrying too much weight?
