Ramrod
Reserve Grader
Don't worry about the score and it's not an indicator of how we'll go this year. Glad they stopped the goal kicking as this was only a trial match and it was time wasting. A lot of the kids were getting an extended stay on the field.
The first quarter was a shocker (without the help of the referee).
Majority of the NRL players only had about 20 minutes of game time.
When they did come on, we blew them apart. Snake and Choc were on fire. Killer in his usual steadfastness is the backbone of our team.
Newbies that deserved a mention =
29. David Gower - runs very hard and impresses.
12. Justin Horo - played well, nothing flash.
5. Jacob Gagan - dropped a yawner that he should have caught. However, he redeemed himself with a big one on one tackle on a second rower.
6. Dane Chisholm - he'll gives us good extra depth in the halves. Quite a solid performance.
15. Ligi Sao - Big Unit hits the line hard. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to do much attacking, with the first quarter ref had us set in defence mode only.
16. Richie Fa'aoso - He'll do. Much bigger and balder than I thought.
21. Peta Hiku - Very good positional play. He's a talent find. I think he should play 1st grade this season.
19. James Cunningham - Should run harder at the line.
... did not notice number 28 but he's on the list - Ben Musolino. Do we call him "Il Duce"?
=====
Left out Brenton Lawrence -(8?) - Did awesome. So much energy. He'll be great off the bench and will be good with Chee Kam on all accounts.
