Only just got to watch the game,thought it was a good overall performance.
Lehi was classy at the back.
Ray was Ray,hits hard,runs hard,becoming a consistent performer.(still an error in his game)
Faulalo is a classy,smart,skillful player,need to get him re-signed asap,defensively he and Willett were very good on the right.
Schoupp was solid,ran hard,looked to give them a whack in defense.
Willett has pretty good speed,not Saab like but is pretty athletic for a guy so tall,reckon he will be a good signing.
Matterson cops some stick,but both he and Arthur were good.
Good vision with his passing,good defense,some good short kicks and tucked it and took the hit when the defense gave him nothing.
Arthur is not much of a runner,but showed good passing on both sides,solid kicking game,good organiser and defender.
Really happy with Taukeiaho in his first game, doesn't tear into the line,but he has short,choppy,quick steps,with good ability to get between defenders and keep the legs pumping to get more metres and a quick play the ball.Could turn out to be a good pick up if stays healthy.
Simpkin was good,good passing,had a dart,good defender.
Got to say I thought Toff was average,not a lot from him as captain.
Really liked Navale,good defense,really quick and accurate as a link man and takes his runs,thought his running game was even better in his second stint.
Thought Gordie was actually pretty good,busted the line and looks more solid in defense.
Patolo was solid and a good debut.
James is leaner than last year,but doesn't seem to really push the defensive line.
Dunford looked athletic and a player on the left edge.
Swann was aggressive and might be a useful pick up at centre.
Pua'Avase looks a little slow footed,not sure how he will go this year.
Got to admit I was impressed with Hugo Hart in his stint on the left edge,not overawed at all stepping up from Ball,looked physical in defense and looked to get involved and run strongly with the ball,looks a real prospect.
