Woods and Fifita

[happy_tiger]

It was a pity that our big names did not stand up like Woods and Fifita I thought Fifta was our best last night and Woods needed more game time If bryce is fit (I doubt he will be) I would keep Fifita . Then again i will be surprised if Gareth Ellis will play after rolled ankle so both will play . My starting pack would be
13 Heighington
12 Fulton
11 Fifita
10 Payten
9 Farah
8 Gallaway
bench forwards Dwyer Woods Shirnack
Again this assuming Gibbs and Ellis not playing

There was an article posted here last week on Fifita saying how he was disappointed with how he finished last year, his weight had blown out to 118kg so he worked very hardin the off-season to get down to 110kg. It certainly showed last night as he was a lot more mobile around the ruck and got through more defence. As far as attack goes, he's very good off the back of a powerful charge by another player which has drawn defenders in, but needs to work on doing the dirty hitups more. This will come with experience.

Woods also looked ok in his limited time and showed he has a good motor.

I thought Woods was much more impressive than Fafita. Its clear Woods will tackle and run hard at any end of the field. Fafita is a super talent, but until he starts doing the hard yards in our own half then im not prepared to talk about him much more. It took him 3 sets of six when we were getting drilled by the dogs to have a run. When he see's the tryline his eyes light up and u see his potential, but get us in our own half and he goes missing.
