De Luis was very good last night. He's not flashy but he's definitely willing. Took multiple hit-ups, often in the same set, and his defence in the middle is solid. Doesn't seem to make mistakes with the ball, which is also a bonus. Seems like Des's confidence in him might be growing as well, because he played more minutes last night than I thought he might. Perfect squad player for us at the moment. If injuries run our way he might not get to see much first grade, but it's nice to know he can do the job when he has to.
