How is Papenhuyzen going at the back?

Has pace but is very lightly built and not that tall …it will be tough for him but just a boy at this stage

Yeah he's only young. Hopefully he doesn't end up going to way of Mullaney.
 
67'— Souths try. Hiroti goes over in the corner for his second of the game to get one back for the visitors.
 
68'— Hiroti misses from the touchline, as our boys maintain a comfortable 40-14 lead with just over ten minutes to go
 
Fulltime and a big win for our #HoldenCup boys, who go into second place on the ladder! Great performance!

Wests Tigers Holden Cup side have temporarily moved to second on the ladder with an impressive 40-14 victory over the South Sydney Rabbitohs on Friday night.

After last week's clash against the Roosters was postponed due to inclement weather, Wests Tigers showed no signs of rust — exploding out of the blocks to lead 16-0 mid-way through the first half — before pulling away in the second half to emerge 26-point winners.

Wests Tigers opened the scoring in the fourth minute when Bayley Sironen broke through from 40 metres out and found Mark McCormack in support to cross for the opening try of the game.

Late inclusion Roman Ioelu converted for a 6-0 lead.

Souths had a few chances to respond but were denied with the home side displaying some strong defence on the goal line, with a big hit from captain Jack Wheelhouse on Toby Rudolf the highlight.

Defence later soon turned to attack and Ioelu went over in the corner after some crafty lead up work from Ryland Jacobs.

The home side went back-to-back off the restart when Jakob Giles carried four defenders over with him to score the side’s third four pointer.

Ioelu converted from out wide for a 16-0 advantage.

The highlight of the half came in the 28minute when five-eighth Daniel Roberts ran the ball on the last and found his halves partner Thomas Bartley in some space, before he placed a pin-point kick out wide to Toa Mata’afa who went over to extend the lead for the home side.

Ioelu’s conversion had the Wests Tigers up 22-0 after 30 minutes of the match.

South Sydney responded with two quick tries late in the half to narrow the home side’s lead.

Mawene Hiroti went over in the corner after a spread of hands, and the visitors were over minutes later when Josh Saunders crashed over beside the posts.

Hiroti converted the try but Wests Tigers took a 22-10 lead into the break.

It was all the home side to start the second half with Ioelu crossing for a double in the 48th minute after Wests Tigers kept the ball alive on the last play.

The winger nailed the kick from the sideline to convert his own try and the lead extended to 28-10.

Wests Tigers crossed again when Jesse Jackson broke through and found Ryan Papenhuyzen in support who crossed the line to celebrate his 18th birthday in style.

Ioelu converted for to give his side an unassailable 34-10 lead.

Papnhuyzen was involved in Wests Tigers seventh try of the night when he threw a lovely cutout pass for Mata’afa to step inside defenders to score.

Ioelu was enjoying a nice night out with the boot and converted from near the sideline for a 40-10 advantage.

The visitors scored a late consolation try with ten minutes remaining with Hiroti going over in the corner for his second of the match, however the home side controlled the remainder of the game for a 40-14 victory.

Wests Tigers 40 (Mata'afa 2, Ioelu 2, Giles, McCormack, Papenhuyzen tries; Ioelu 6/7 goals) def. South Sydney Rabbitohs 14 (Hiroti 2, Saunders tries; Hiroti 1/3 goals)
 
Sounds like they took the foot off the gas and coasted for the last 10, should have hit 50 but, I'm reading a report from over 200k away, great start to the weekend, keep it up and inspire Taylor's side!.
 
Watching the game last night I was very disappointed with the effort of Taniela Paseka , very lazy attitude a man mountain but really had no impact maybe an off night.
 
Only caught the second half but the boys sounded like they were coasting most of the match but still won in a canter.

Papenhuyzen isn't huge but he's bigger than i was expecting. Same height as Teddy. As long as he fills out he'll be fine. Has a bigger frame than the likes of Mullaney, and is a fair bit bigger than Sharpe. But yes he's only just turned 18 last Friday and needs a full off-season or two to fill out.

Paseka didn't have a huge impact breaking through the line like he usually does but he still took up a number of hitups in the second half and i'd be guessing made somewhere around 100-150m for the match if his first half was similar to his second. Might still have a niggle from when he went off injured a couple of weeks ago. Still a solid if unspectacular effort.

McCormack had one of his better games, making good metres and getting a number of good offloads. It's crazy to think that we have two 200cm+ props in the NYC rather than the small workhorses we usually have. After about 25 games in NYC MCCormack should be showing his skills by now though so it's good he is.

Giles had another top quality game in attack and defence. Repeatedly making the desperate one on one tackles on the line but also hitting it up strongly and getting some offloads.

Ioelu looks pretty solid too. A great goal kicker to boot.

Still a lot of improvement in a team coming second on the ladder so good signs for the future.
