Match report: A great win after being down 12-4. It didn't look our day and then the team just clicked and steamrolled the Roosters. Winger Daniel Ala absolutely killed it with kick returns, runs and kicks goals. He was so impressive and easily our best back. Both props did lots of great work making metres (Alec T and Sione Fainu) Tyreece Matangi, bench forward was from Matts I believe and played outstandingly. Big kid with lots of effort and was impressive. One to look out for. Other bench forward Viliami Fifita was also huge in making valuable metres and some great tackles to turn the game around.
Reserve hooker Gordon changed the game with an amazing solo effort try and he killed it when he came on.
Sadly, didn't think Ben T and Josh Schuster played as well as I imagine they can. Josh turned over quite a few balls with running one handed and didn't seem to make many barnstorming runs. I was expecting a lot more but maybe he was injured? At 5/8 he was passing a lot and not taking on line as much. Ben is very willing but didn't seem to make any huge imprint on the match.
Fullback Kaeo Weekes again didn't do as much as I remember from last year. He was so impressive last year in the halves but fullback just doesn't see him as involved. I know he played state reps last year so hopefully next year will see more improvement.
What was noticable was the team never gave up and really stormed home in the 2nd half. Best by far was Daniel Ala who looked like doing something everytime he touched the ball.
