OFFICIAL Josese Lanyon #310

great debut played well he will be good off the bench when korisau comes back
Suited to the bench as more versatile than Hope as he has played a bit of lock as well. Still a lot of improvement before considered more than a back up hooker. Good to have someone who can come on and maintain solid defence
 
Been a while since a Polynesian #9 has really came through... ?

I liked his involvement and energy.
Looked gassed on occasion, so hopefully he works on that.

Otherwise, impressive first hit out.
 
Really held his hands up
- a lot to like about the kid..

He’s been mentioned here for sure - maybe Balmain Boy or BWT (?)

He’s certainly progressing quickly…
Wonder if we keep him about for this season,
does that mean someone has to go?
Hope will go
 
He better left to right than vice versa...good off the deck this way

R to L he seems to be a bit slower

But yeah he was good....its always.tough for a.rookie when.they go.well on debut and then find it hard to keep at that level...the week to week grind is a massive step up.
We here tend to expect exponential improvement from young blokes ...its not that easy especially in a team like ours

Manase might have been the last quality Polynesian #9

People might be getting a bit carried away. He was sound only, and that's not a bad thing for a debut. We have a set low bar with Hope.
Defence was good. Offensively was zero threat at the ruck passing or running. Passing game was sound only. Only ran once from memory. Zero kicking. One error and one set restart.
