Reserve Grader
I thought Manly were just unlucky and Parra were just too good. I honestly think we can make the 8. Will get it right next week against the Bunnies. But overall i'm not that unhappy with the way we played. Uate was dangerous, Taufua's effort and speed were awesome, Sironen is solid with a good offload, Winterstein did nothing wrong, Walker tried his heart out.. I'm a bit sick of reading some fans unloading on the team after just 1 game. Boys all tried their hearts out imo.
BUT i do have my concerns..
Myles died after 5 mins and ran for 32 metres, Api can't pass and Green isn't our saviour!
I think we need some spark so would be keen to give Hastings a crack next week against the Bunnies.
Player rankings out of ten:
Turbo 6.5/10 (Got bullied and went missing at times)
Taufua 7.5/10 (Good speed and energy. Didn't drop any high balls)
Walker 7/10 (Solid but over played it a little)
Kelly 7.5/10 (Solid debut. Good tackler. Young but a tough young kid)
Uate 8/10 (Looked dangerous and made a few semi breaks)
Green 6/10 (Can't slide defend and didn't direct the attack)
DCE 6.5/10 (Again didn't do enough. But liked his approach with the refs)
Lawrennce 6/10 (Did nothing wrong but lacked impact
Api 6/10 (Can't pass!)
Taupau 7.5/10 (Terrible ball security! Really gave the Eels the momentum when he dropped those balls. Will prob get a week for blatant shoulder charge)
Jake 8.5/10 (Great commitment. Great defence. Super solid)
Sironen 8/10 (Great game. Great offload)
Winterstein 7/10 (Hard toiler and did nothing wrong. Solid defender)
AFB 8/10 (Good runs and no mistakes)
Myles 4/10 (Too old)
Brown 5/10 (Misguided aggression and no spark. Hastings or Cullen please!!!)
Perrett 6/10 (Good signing. Huge. Like him)
Anyway guys just pumped the season is back on. Keen to get your feedback on my ratings but keep it civil please.
