So it's been an ordinary start, but after 160 minutes of footy 3 stand outs.... 1- Parcell - Speedy, confident, adds much needed flare, solid defender. The best by a way & with no great platform to work from....super impressive. 2- Kapow - Shown glimpses of his powerhouse running game when fresher, but admittedly has looked suspect defensively- X Factor player who will prove a great signing. 3- Walker - Limited opportunities as he learns his new position & how to get involved...needs more involvement & support play...again needs improvement in defence. Others like Myles & Brown disappointing at this point, lacking the tough edge & experience they were signed to provide. Lussick should offer more as the season kicks on imo, but challenge for the bench at best. Api reasonable with some decent tackles but errors in attack at vital times. Green seemed an unfair target in Round 1, but unfortunately after the Tigers game, should be in NSW cup on the bench. These Parra wingers looked ok, but probably being realistic, appear to be NSW cup standard wingers. Expect more from all, but the top 3 are unlikely to change ....any other candidates ....Moltzen, John ??
Parcell - 100% agree. He's proving to be the gun we thought he would be. Its baffling why TB seems to consider him the #2 hooker when its obvious that he's the #1. Taupau - Lets hope last night was a sign of things to come. Walker - Yeah I see good things in this kid as a 5/8. But right now (and its not his fault), we'd be better off with him at centre so we can use Killer's 17 years worth of first grade experience at 5/8 On the Speels wingers Goodall and Lavaka. Ok, Wiliame is only a stop gap while Snake is out. We know this. But the question remains, have either of these guys done anything that suggests they would be a better option in first grade? Either in the trials or in the 2 games they've played this year.
