Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2926038, member: 9052"] My initial thoughts 1 Boyd I think he looks to be back at full fitness (he'll never get back to what he was) did well to put Oates away but bombed a try by waiting too long to give it to Bird in a 3 on 1 2. Oates very solid game as expected 3. Jimmy looked more involved tonight which is good to see as I think his start to the year has been very lacklustre 4. Jack looked more involved. Good in defence and solid hit ups, but just difficult to get him quality ball with the attack at the moment 5 Isaako was good under the high ball and only solid at best. Hands are looking suspect in general play though 6 Milf his best game of the year by far. Those claiming him to have a poor showing are kidding themselves he's basically the only half out there with Niko parking himself on the right all game. Made several clean line breaks (although his passing was fucked tonight) and is showing at least some intent. We all know his game is in development at this stage but I'm seeing improvement be it slowly. 7 Niko horrible game from him in my mind. He provided absolutely nothing and didn't even look like he wanted to be involved. He needs to get himself into the middle of the field and do something. Is just parking himself on the right even though the team is really struggling. This team cannot be playing with a passenger at the moment let alone a passenger 7 8 Lodge went well again and is one of the only ones providing a solid consistent performance each week. Can't believe the total hypocrisy from the fuckwit Newcastle crowd, were they booing because he didn't sign the $500k contract they threw at him last year. 9 Macca done well again was a little annoyed by his kick on the fourth after a quick play the ball. He had support running over the top of him looking to take advantage but decided to play his plan A and kick it only for ponga to gather safely and return it 19 TPJ looked pretty quiet. Getting annoyed with his constant attempts at milking penalties in the play the ball only to hurt us badly. 17 Sua was pretty poor for me. Was nowhere to be seen on saifiti try and dropped the ball cold early on. He did make some pretty solid runs though. Won't be taking Glenn's spot any time soon 12 Gillett very quiet again although started to pick up right at the end 13 McGuire typical McGuire performance... can recall him getting in the way at one point which really pissed me off 14 Sammy was invisible for me. His stint seemed largely pointless and can only recall one or two good runs 15 Offa thought he played pretty well. I think offa is more a middle of the ground prop at this stage (still only young at 22/23) and acts as a good foil for whoever he is out there with, which is probably why he and TPJ played so well together last year. He needs a better supporting cast than Sims and Sammy though. 10 Sims largely invisible again. If he actually just upped his work rate he could be one of the best props in the game. He can do a strong carry but they are few and far between. Just so frustrating to see a great carry followed by literally nothing [/QUOTE]
