Good post, and I feel the same.1. Pole
2. Stef
3. Junior Tupou
4. Matamua
5. Nu Brown
I was really impressed with these guys today. Matamua didn't do much but I was worried he would be manhandled and he wasn't. I think he is a skillful forward which gives the team a different look. He could be a perfect 13.
Pole was huge. He just looks like he has the ability to be a middle forward who can do the job. He isn't going to be a massive prop but he looks to have good footwork and speed for a prop.
Stef was back. He was hitting hard and running over players. It was a great effort.
Junior Tupou looks like he can do things other players can't. I don't know his best position but he can make a bust.
Nu Brown makes a massive difference to the team because he provides good service, a running game and he can defend.
I know we lost but It wasn't a depressing loss.
Honestly, the win or loss was not even important. If we had of beaten them with Tamou and Seyfarth and Parra had a bad night...it would not have meant much.
Seeing Pole and Matamura stand up to a motivated Parra pack and hold their own = means a lot more long term.
And seeing Stefano finally come good again may be the key to our next few seasons.
Lots of positives last night.
