1. Jack Bird- Crap game, loads of mistakes at fullback, and whilst looks like he has potential at centre dropped the ball at crucial times, bombed a few chances.
2. Valentine Holmes, good game, besides a singular bad drop, nearly scored the winning try however bird dropped it inside him
3. Gerard Beale, a few good touches, good defensively, has definitely beefed up
4. Ricky Leutele, quite game but not bad
5. Sosaia Feki , not highly involved, but a feki like tough game
6. James Maloney , good goal kicking, not many passes, a couple of runs, maybe one max two general play kicks, I am hoping I am wrong but I have always thought this guy goes missing (for example last year when Pearce got injured Hastings came in and supposedly Maloney was to be a dominant half, he hardly even touched the ball, my thoughts alone, last time I said this about a player was ayshford, when I got proper flamed but look how crap he ended up....anyway time will tell)
7. Chad Townsend , was the dominant general play kicker with some quality kicks, looked decent running the ball and good defensively, good game for sure
8. Sam Tagataese, good when he was on, didn't seem to play enough minutes
9. Michael Ennis, yep massive difference when he is on, quality
10. Andrew Fifita , started off restrained, but as the game got close the pressure fried his brain and he started with the stupid play of the balls and penalties, was lucky not to give away more penalties
11. Luke Lewis, good whilst on
12. Wade Graham, good whilst on
13. Paul Gallen , good whilst on
Interchange
16 Jayson Bukuya, seemed to get more minutes, was more highly involved , no doubt as gal and others were off, still seems mobile and strong
18 Joseph Paulo, didn't see much of him, disappointing after his quality game last week
19 Ben Barba, a couple of good takes and a quality break, looks mobile and fit! Split them open, was definitely better then bird tonight
21 Matt Prior, not as highly involved as normal
22 David Fifita, much more consistent then his brother......
23 Chris Heighington, not as highly involved as normal, similar to a number of the other forwards, maybe due to the increased defensive workload due to a massive amount of penalties against cronulla
