We all know Koula is an attacking threat but his defence was what really impressed me tonight. Parker/Harper keeping him out because of defence is not a thing.

Do you think he was better than Harper tonight. I didn’t see that. He was ok but I didn’t see him as better than either regular centers.

That's spot on.

And he's pretty tough, wasn't afraid to hit the ball up and get whacked.

I think what I saw was an electricity and dynamism that Harper and Parker don't have. They are both solid (Harper has struggled lately) centres....but to me the fear factor isn't there if I was the opposing centre. I definitely thought at times the Raiders were on edge when he got the ball.

Whilst Killer and Matai were different players to Koula, they instilled fear in opposition. Killer with his all round football brains and pure skill, and Matai with his absolute ball busting runs...and even more deadly tackles.

Nah, Harper was just as good tonight. Koula was slightly better taking tough carries off our line. He just blew me away with his decision making and contact in defence, pretty impressive for a 19 year old.

1. DCE absolute masterclass.
2. Aloiai - ran with intent, lead the pack.
3. Turbo, can’t keep the good ones down for long

Bring on next week 🦅🦅

Koula was a poofteenth of getting a point from me. His defence was first class.
