Nyc ..this is a big side with heaps of talent and speed , just toyed with the Sharks many good performances and should be right up there this season.
Premier league … Considering they had no real 1/2s pairing they went OK ,Watch out for
Fiagatusa this guy is a machine, Ava is huge and fit both played NRL as well, Rowe scored a great try heaps of pace , Luani went ok . When the 1/2s are worked out the season looks promising as well, Brown played around 30 min tops came though ok..
NRL ....Well what a pleasant surprise structured defence and solid hitting, Brooks was off the ball all 1st half and never really took part except for a few kicks and the intercept he was being brought in slow and he only played about 20min max in the second half where things went up a gear and was more involved with the ball nothing to special which is good at this stage. Richards has plenty to offer great kicking and still has good pace he will be on one wing , a few standouts .Lulia ,Paterson went ok my standouts were Teddy , Lawrence,a great game by Thompson and Gavet don't forget this name what a goer!! Anasta played OK but is on old legs reliable though.... Koro was Koro hit it up hard all night... Austin will this guy be the dark horse his defence was ok and a ball looks good in his hands and certainly has some pace time will tell don,t right him of just yet .A lot of the guys came off with 15 to go including Farah don't think he was injured just came of a sat down with the rest of the guys.
Now for other things Blair will be lucky to hold his spot the Fafita try a jersey grab 15 out to score Blair was immediately taken off , he will be struggling especially with the way Gavet is playing! Don't be to concerned about the penalties 60% should not have been given and 20% were questionable but in saying that refs could perceive the Tigers as bad offenders generally the referring was pathetic.
On the Side lines ... Siro was there on crutches sorry site, Moltzen with a bandage on the Knee, Galloway, Fulton, Nofo enjoying the night as with Moses, The Hulk was there Mr Sue he is just all muscle cant wait to see him on the paddock.
This squad is a team make no mistake every time one came off they went up to all seated players and high 5 them every single one,I was siting near the players section and these are a happy bunch of guys.
My impression of the night if you are a Weststigers fan this is a real footy team!! make no mistake. I think the whole thing will rest on the 1/2s and keeping injuries to a minimum how far they will go who knows, or if they can sustain the load week in week out .I left tonight feeling pretty dame good!
