Just listening to Snowy's latest podcast and he makes some good points about Will and how he still hasn't quite reached the level we'd probably like at the moment despite him being our best player. Have a listen and see what you think.

I agree with Snowy, Will can be an exciting player but with Moylan out the last few weeks he hasn't been at his best. When Will fires, we fire.

He also alludes to his support play, needs to look more at Tedesco and Papps to see how it is done.

There were a few times on the weekend where he had the chance to score but could not zip through the gap or break that last tackle.

If he's not careful next year and we find some good halves, Nicho may end up playing fullback.

Yep said it last week - it’s either it feels like he’s involved in every set play or we don’t see him at all. Kid needs to find his balance

I think Moylan engages the line better than any other half we have. To me that's why Will is better outside him.

Hopefully learns to sniff around the ruck when forwards tire
Teddy and Turbo smash other teams by just sweating a pass with space in the middle

Agree, if there is something he definitely needs to work on is his attacking positioning. There have been times when we have made some half breaks and no support from WK.

Again our best - only attack we have. Cant wait for Hynes to come. We need more speed....far too slow

Haven’t watched the game, but just glanced at snippets. I had to double take at one of his efforts. Have a look at how much ground he covers from 1.41.25 (that’s hours, minutes seconds of the kayo stream)

The #1 is now the most important position on the field - just look at how influential Turbo, Teddy and Ponga are. So while Kennedy's been our best this year, I've been thinking he might not be the answer long term.

Not anymore. This guy is just so bloody reliable. His tries tonight were great but his trysaving chase on Saab was better. More defensive efforts like that and we really will have our next Peachey.
