Yeah a lot on the young kid to play 80. Not sure why we can’t limit his minutes with ESL? Another rookie but better than nothing. But in saying that the coach must have seen he could handle 80 that last game.

He has come on really nicely in the last month or so.
I gave him points in the MSKOTW last week because I thought he finally looked 100% comfortable in firstgrade, and this week he showed us how good he is going to be.
And for the record - he's a wide running, try scoring second row - not a prop.

Definitely announced himself in first grade tonight. Big future.

Had some on here booking his plane ticket to the Super League after struggling for 10 minutes on debut, out of position, in a forward pack that was already getting pumped.
I imagine he'll be getting the rest of the year on the left edge now which has been his preferred side coming through.

He was bloody good today! Frank left edge. Macca right. Done
Do they actually think he played NSW Cup, or is it joking? haha

Extremely exciting player. Looks great in defense as well as his obvious attacking ability
Loved watching him tonight!

At least have good backrow depth that’s something
Looks like Smith’s going to finish the season with more games in the halves than Sharpe or Brown as it turns out. Never any need to worry about where everyone’s going to fit because the Knights will always have plenty of injuries anyway

The question now, which is more for next season given Lucas’ injury, is how are we going to fit Lucas, McEwen and Manuleleua in the team.
If Manuleleua plays like that for the rest of the season, you can’t leave him out next year
Croker has played really good at lock, so I don’t know if I want to move him, but it might be a case of him being pushed out due to others improving and jumping him in the pecking order

Crocker looked excellent tonight. He played really tough on both sides of the ball.
I’d leave him at lock. We need 3-4 good forwards on the bench who can make an immediate impact and don’t allow us to be poorer when the replacements are made.

Really could be anything this bloke.
Breakthrough performance last night and is a absolute beast. Hopefully we can see more of what last night from him on a regular basis.

The try he scored Brown layed it on perfectly for him. So if he’s playing on the left I guess it will be Sharpe or Ponga playing short to him.
