Just how I saw it:

Elliott 7.5/10 Solid and in position. Great game.
Taufua 7.5/10 Some strong runs
Parker 6.5/10 Not much wrong
Suli 8/10 Great running, threatening
Garrick 6/10 Didn't go missing. Kicked his goals
Cust 9.5/10 Near perfect game at 6
DCE 8/10 Finally has a halves partner allowing him to play his natural game
AFB 9/10 Beast
Levi 7/10 I'm warming to him. Didn't do much wrong and was hitting the right player most of the time
Marty 8.5/10 Beast
Thommo 4/10 Injured
Siro 7.5/10 Great game
Jake 8/10 In everything

Croker 4/10 Not enough game time to make an impact but played well once on.
Jet ski 5/10 Was on a lot but a few mistakes. Tried hard all night
Paseka 7/10 Very good off the bench. One of the few games I didn't feel like we fell into a hole when AFB/Marty ran off
Waddell 5/10 Ok. Not much time/impact

Thought our forwards and Cust won it for us supported by some good runs from Suli and Taffy. Good win

This is on the money. However I would have given Parker a 6 or 7. He was a lot better than Garrick and jetski who were lucky to get 5s

Good summary and I like the ‘Taffy’ moniker.

I think you are right, I'll edit!

Croker 4/10 Not enough game time to make an impact but played well once on.

Didn't get a lot of game time, as you say.
First touch of the ball and a direct scoot from DH though led to Custs line break and Cherrys try.
That was impact enough to seal the game.

This is true and I really like the guy. I wonder how we would go with the two 9s switched? Croker can really do with some more minutes on the park like his mate Cust and could really shine. 9 is certainly less of an issue 2nd half of the season post Api/Fainu ... was looking dire there for a while.

The only real issue I have with the team is the lack of strike out wide. Walker in for Parker when fit might do it (thanks for your service Scorpio you were great) and/or Garrick to a Tupou/Vunivalu type winger.

Also think there is a huge hole to fill when Thommo leaves ... who will fill the void?

He was also very tight in his defensive work

Very good work

Please add your own summation HV8 I very much love reading it. I was inspired you smash one out after last nights game but please do yours!

Anyone but Gosiewski.

Yeh we need a Joelesque tackling machine. We may not notice Joel week in week out but he does a mountain of work.
