Its good to finally write one of these after a win.
Tom Trbojevic 9/10 - Made a couple of errors in defence, but more than made up for it with his running and support game. A very welcome return and it transformed the side. For mine it looks like he's fitter and faster this year.
Jorge Taufua 8/10 - I couldn't believe my eyes when he took a bomb Aussie rules style. A solid game from Jorge with a nice try at the end.
Moses Suli 7/10 - Not as prominent as the past two weeks, but solid nonetheless.
Brad Parker 8/10 - Other than his dropped ball that was easily his best ever first grade game. 5 tackle breaks. Pity he doesn't have an extra yard of pace. Made Solomone Kata look like an amateur.
Reuben Garrick 8/10 - This kid continues to impress and got a well deserved first ever NRL try.
Kane Elgey 5/10 - Wasn't too bad I guess, but 5 missed tackles against that Warriors effort was not good.
Daly Cherry-Evans 9/10 - Behind a pack that was going forward and making metres almost at will, Cherry took control of the game. His combination with Turbo could prove lethal for some NRL teams.
Addin Fonua-Blake 7/10 - Powerhouse performance in his return from suspension
Api Koroisau 6/10 - Didn't do anything flashy, but was still pretty solid.
Martin Taupau 8/10 - Led from the front with his runs. The Warriors defence didn't want to know about him.
Curtis Sironen 5/10 - Curtis needs to get involved more.
Joel Thompson 8/10 - A great game from Thommo yesterday.
Jake Trbojevic 7/10 - Ran hard and as usual tackled anything that moved.
Manase Fainu 8/10 - Once again provided spark when he came on. Stood up well against the early second half pressure.
Jack Gosiewski 5/10 - TBH I barely noticed him yesterday.
Corey Waddell 7/10 - Another very good performance. Made 27 tackles in just 34 minutes.
Toafofoa Sipley 5/10 - Didn't do anything wrong, just wasn't prominent with Marty, AFB, Thommo and Jake doing most of the grunt work.
Overall it was a very good win. Now we just need to back it up with a good win against Souffs at our real home.
